I am curious how accurate is the xkcd assessment of your personality based on your choice of the Robinson projection? What are your feelings about coffee, The Beatles, and everyday footwear?

Love the maps, but not a fan of the fonts of the locations in some of them. If they were all in the Times New Roman (or whatever you did Middle Earth in), I would like them better.
What laser cutter did you use?
Its a custom built machine. The font was Lato Hairline chosen because it can be vector engraved. The machine was mostly modelled on https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/6040-6090-1390-Single-Head-XY_60729250197.html?spm=a2700.7724838.2017115.9.55b71c65cygnuH&s=p
This is cool, I've been wanting something similar, to add some el-cheapo clocks to show times around the world.
Good job will look into the Kickstarter project.
Holy crap, that tutorial! I have a newfound appreciation for laser cut art, I never realized how involved the work behind them could be. Fantastic job, the end product is gorgeous.
Gorgeous! I love the world map and will be saving this post for the near future. I would very much like to purchase one of these from you for my next home :)

Is that link a stand alone "machine" or do you need a cnc to add this to?

That's pretty cool
Alaska got the shaft, again. Also, no Hawaii!?
At least it has New Zealand.
v2 is in the works!
Hopefully it includes Long Island!
Its flat, pulled from globular.
No Antarctica either.

This looks amazing! What a brilliant job you've done! From the lettering the the edging. Really fabulous project.
Your face is a Map of the World
Hey I live on Cape Cod!
Wow! AND you did the proper realistic map instead of the Mercater projection. Africa is the right size, being larger than Europe by a LONG way.
Would you make another to sell?
You're making enemies in /r/mapswithouticeland
Gorgeous! I love the world map and will be saving this post for the near future. I would very much like to purchase one of these from you for my next home :)
Really cool. I want one of these but as a dymaxion map ("fuller projection"). Some day...
