We Are Always With You SVG for Glowforge | Memorial Design for Sign
This design is based on my best selling cut file design.
The design can be cut on one sheet of material. Here is how I created my example:
I sanded, prestained (and let dry overnight) and masked the top of my sheet of 1/8" birchwood. I then applied 3M to the back right hand side of the wood for the pieces that would attach to the backing.
You will cut all pieces except for the name (which you will write and add to the heart on the backing side and engrave). You will ignore the tree on the backing side, that is just there for you to align the name. For the example name I used the font "Hello Ayunda". When cutting I used the medium basswood plywood setting to cut.
After cutting my design (for approximate 9.5x9.5) it took me around 16 minutes on my Glowforge pro.
Once cut I left my wood on the crumb tray and took painters tape and applied over my letters, the bird with the leaves that are cut away from the main tree and then lifted the design off of my crumb tray. Keep the middle portion with the cutouts so you can use that as a way to align your design.
I removed the masking from the "frame" and the tree and tree pieces.
I stained the tree and heart a darker stain color so it would contrast with the lighter stain on my backing and frame.
The backing I sprayed a couple coats of clear spray to help seal the edges of the engrave. Once dry I applied a couple coats of white spray paint on the engravings. Once completely dry (at least a few hours) then you can remove the masking. If any paint has bled you can easily lightly sand over that area and use a toothbrush to remove the dust from the engraving.
The letters I carefully took off the painters tape, removed the masking and then applied to another piece of painters tape with the side I wanted to paint facing up.
On a separate piece of painters tape I applied the bird with the masking removed.
I then taped down the sides of the painters tape and spray painted my letters white. I taped down the tape with the birds and spray-painted those red.
After everything has dried I then remove the 3m tape and applied the frame to the backing. Being careful to line up. Once 3M is applied you can't remove and reapply it.
Then add your cut out piece to the middle of the frame. You will then proceed to remove the 3M from each piece one at a time and insert into the appropriate places.
Remove the cutout piece by simply flipping over.
Voila! You are done!
Please Note: You can use glue instead of 3M. I just find 3M to be faster and easier.
This is NOT for a cutting machine such as Cricut or Silhouette. This is a laser only file.
