Part 1: • Laser Cutting Custom W...
This video is the conclusion (part 2 of 2) in our short series experimenting with using a laser cutter to make custom wet molds for leathercraft projects. I would consider the results of this test a great success for the card holder and a half success for the valet tray (more on this a little later). If I were looking to use these types of molds in a higher volume setting I would make sure to double layer the top plate and seal the wood to protect from moisture. I ended up making 4 card holders with this mold however the top plate is starting to warp from the clamping pressure.
"Hey, what happened to the valet tray from part 1?". Great question! While the doubled layer valet tray did work, I had a lot of trouble replicating a clean product therefore did not include it in the video. Due to the larger size and thicker leather the top plate was a little bit too flimsy for repeated use. I would greatly increase the plate margins around the mold (2" or more) if I were to do it again. I will probably do this as a separate video project down the line sometime.
