How to Laser Cut a Custom Watch Face From Real Maple Wood Vaneer
Instructions, and SVG file.
I wanted to make a wooden version of my Open Watch. I joined my local makerspace the Curious Forge. That way I could use the laser cutter to print out my watch face. Freshums was kind enough to help me out with the project. Later I went home and installed our first prototype into a watch. photo above.
Guide
1. Join your local makerspace.
