I recently went to visit family in Greenville, SC. While there I saw an art piece outside that was a large piece of metal with butterflies cut and the wings were raised out of the metal.
I cut a vinyl record. All Steve Good Butterflies .
I warmed the butterflies with my hair blower and used metal dental picks to bend and support the wings while it cooled
I have researched this. Labels are attached while the vinyl is still warm during the manufacturing process. They are not removable. I have placed a paper insert from the record that had the center cut out to show the label over the record to provide a block while spraying the label. That worked pretty well.
I do use a spare bedroom for scrolling. I do use dust collection.
I do NOT live in an apartment or condo.. this hobby is loud. Saw, dust collection, sanders.
We downsized by buying a pre-owned modular home. It ain’t fancy, but we love it!
I have cut quite a few compound cuts. Yes, it matters. The problem CAN come with the proportions on the opposite cut. Remember, you tape it all back together before cutting the opposite side. That little 1/4” or 1/2” can really change the outcome.
