Reclaimed Wall Map with Epoxy Resin River and Road Inlay

so what you're looking at right now are bunch of studs from an old Washington DC row house dating back to the 1800s except for this stud right here from a hospital in Massachusetts dating back to the 90s did he just fart? I think he farted sorry for the interruption but hey Paul how did you get those roads to print out and use on the CNC well if you're interested in all the excruciating details of how I did that I made a second video you can watch after this one to show you how you can make that into a printable format or use it on the CNC but for now I'm just gonna give you a very quick summary so you can figure out how we got here the method I used is a combination with OpenStreetMaps and Adobe Illustrator the second method uses free open-source software albeit with less detail so you start in OpenStreetMaps by finding the area that you're interested in you export this into a PDF which saves as a vector file this can then be imported into Adobe Illustrator cleaned up a little bit to make it easier to work with and then you copy your roads border and water into their own layers then with all the cleaned up data I trimmed outside the border of city exported the streets and water has two separate SVG files and then imported these into easel for two separate tool paths and that is where we are now let's get back to the build hey guys thanks for checking out this build and shout out to Inventables creator of the X-Carve for making this video possible now as much as I hate to admit it the J-Carve definitely lost out this time on this project I wouldn't have been able to complete this build without the X-Carve but that there is precisely my goal with the CNC to make larger form Jackman sized projects that wouldn't be possible without it I'll drop some links down below see and learn more about this machine it's a very affordable and fairly minimal machine it still has some really cool features like the two-stage V bit carving that you saw in this project and we're popping out projects like this you can pay for it in no time but a few details about the project itself the road pattern was cut on the CNC painted black and then I cut out the water before I poured it in a two-part epoxy resin this was then all sanded flush to reveal the road map of Washington DC for full details on how I was able to pull in the street map data to use on the CNC check out the separate video that I made specifically on that process but I think that is all for this one thank you to Inventables for making this project possible my patrons for their support and Steve Yzerman for that Stanley Cup back in 2002
