Making a wooden wine box

Learn how to create a uniquely crafted wooden wine box out of our Trotec veneered wood.

Preparation

Required material

1 sheet of Trotec veneer walnut, 3 mm (purchase it online here)
1 sheet of Trotec veneer birch, 3 mm (purchase it online here)
Some yarn or ribbon for the handle
Some covering material

Used machine

Speedy 360, 80 Watts with 2.0" lens

The wine box can of course also be produced with all other machines of the Speedy laser engravers.

Important

Cover the working area completely with paper. By doing this even slightly bent sheets get flat.
Use a 2" lens to compensate differences in material thickness

Step 2: Laser process

Set your JobControl laser parameters as they are described below.

Please note, laser parameters may vary depending on the type of laser machine and the available laser power.

Place the wood into your Trotec laser, engrave and cut the different pieces.

Laser Parameters:

Color	Process	Power (%)	Speed (%)	ppi/Hz
black	engraving CO₂	80	50	500
red	cutting CO₂	100	1,0	1000

Passes	Air Assist	Z-Offset	Advanced
1	on	+6 mm	High quality

Info:

Keep in mind that wood is a natural product and therefore it's characteristics can vary. We recommend you test the parameters before you produce the work piece.

Step 3: Cleaning and assembly

Once completed, clean any cut residue and dust that may have settled with a damp cloth.

For assembly, all you require are the wooden parts and a bit of care and patience. Put the pieces together one-by-one and you will soon have a completed wooden wine box!
