Well done, my friend. That was fascinating. Can't wait to try my hand at that. Thx!

Thank you. I'd love to see a tutorial on creating non-symmetrical patterns for laser cutting. Basically, how to create depth using layers. Etsy has a lot of laser-cut art with this effect and it's more complex to make than symmetrical Mandela's.

Hello Rick, Thank you for doing these videos. I really love them, and I've learned a lot from watching along and practicing. do you think that you can do a video around how to create an embroidered logo for hat or shirt? Thank you!

Wow! This one's a real gamechanger, Rick. Can I ask what product you're using to magnify your cursor?

This is excellent. My graphic trio from now on will be MS PowerPoint, GIMP and Inkscape. Let Adobe keep their obnoxious subscription model.

When I try to use the mirror symmetry function it isn't creating a duplicate at all. Am I doing something wrong?
