Last friday I actually got to cut the parts for my TekTree! So excited! This is by far the biggest "piece" I have ever laser cut but luckily everything went well. This in part is thanks to my brilliant friend [Ron](https://www.ronnabuurs.nl) who helped me create the sketches for the laser cutter. Thanks again [Ron](https://www.ronnabuurs.nl)!

**Top tip!** You don't have to laser cut the designs. Just print the designs with a regular printer and stick it on some wood. Then just use something like a bandsaw to cut the pieces!

## Laser cutting video
|
|
|
|
I've gotten so much positive feedback on my last laser cutting video that I decided to make another one. This one is a little different though. It's a compilation of a few different cuts.
