    Very well done. Don’t know if you’ve seen my laser maps series videos, but I really like the style you gave your map! Working on a new series myself about Disney world…

    Wow! Thanks for this video! I have a son in Austin and LOVE it down there! I’ve been hoping to make some of these layered maps for our friends up here in WI. MAJOR lightbulb moment when I saw your painting technique. What kind of paints do you use on the wood and acrylic? What types of woods do you use for the different layers? Just… THANK YOU so much for this inspiring video! It’s getting me motivated to finally get to work on a few projects just in time for Christmas gifts. :)

    Hi KLM, Thanks for taking time out of your day to comment and ask a question! I have been using an acrylic paint called Ceramcoat for years! It works on most everything. I buy it at Hobby Lobby or Michaels. www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Stencils-Craft-Paints/Acrylic-Craft-Paints/Lake-Ceramcoat-Acrylic-Paint/p/80790713 Hope you have a great day! Rico

    Hi Michelle, thanks for taking the time to send me a nice comment! The hardest part of lasering is learning the software. I use adobe illustrator I’ve been learning it for the last year. And it is getting easier! Lol Hope you have a great day!! Rico

    This is so cool, I have been wondering how people did it. What kind of paper are you using ? I see 3M 468MP, but is that a double backed paper? Thank you!

    Okay… Hate to ask yet another question… I see you fitting in pieces. What do you use as adhesive between layers? DO YOU SELL your items? I seriously would buy this Austin piece personalized for my son and new bride down there in Austin.

    Usually you see these type maps just lasered. I LOVE how you cut yours out. The lines are nice and thick. You don’t have a video on how you create the maps in Snazzy Maps, do you? I’ve played around with it and it was really cumbersome. If not, could you share how you did yours? Thanks!
