Following several questions in various groups I belong to, I've decided to make this video. There are several ways of making word books like these, so I stress that this is my way of doing it, others may do it differently! :) Although I mention Sure Cuts a Lot frequently during the video, obviously you could save your files as DXF and use them to cut on the Craft Robo or related machines.
If you want to see a full screen version of this, click here.
It was a *really* tight squeeze fitting this into the 10 minute limit, so I had to remove the title page and opening introductory comments, so forgive me for that! :)

I LOVE THIS DAN!! YOUR SO SMART! I was going to buy these premade yesterday at my LSS. but it was small. Now I can make it! WWOOHOOO..
I have to ask, what program are you using to make your videos?
Thanks for taking time out to do this!
Thanks folks :)
Melissa, I use CamStudio for my videos, and I host them on Photobucket, cos the quality is much better than youtube or google video.
Dan, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. Really cool!! I got something really fascinating now to show my hubby when he gets home. :)
I just found your blog recently. What an awsome tutorial as is everything I have seen on the blog.
Thanks so much for sharing!

You are so awesome!!!
Thanks so much!!!
Thanks, Dan! Maybe now I will be able to do something with inkscape.
Many thanks for a wonderful tutorial Dan!I haven't got to grips with Inkscape yet, and still thinking about SCAL. I have both a Craft Robo and Cricut, and the SCAL looks so much easier than Robomaster..plus I hadn't realised you can cut larger things with SCAL...silly me! I guess I will be buying SCAL ASAP!! Thanks again.
Dan, what a clever man you are. Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorial. It is very helpful..

You really are amazing. The tuts are so helpful and so easy to follow along with.
Thanks so much, Dan.
Dan, your tutorial was excellent! I have learned so much about Inkscape from you in just a very few minutes. Thank you for your willingness to share your expertise and the creativity you share with all of us!
Thanks so much Dan for an excellent tutorial. It gave me the confidence to tackle Inkscape. Thanks for sharing your talents.

Thank you so much. The quality you possess in making infomation clear and complete is amazing. You were missed and I am so glad you are doing better.
The tutorial really is very good, but I am having a terrible time trying to copy and paste. It just won't let me copy anything - so obviously I can't paste anything. Am I doing something wrong. I copy and paste in other programs all the time, so am not sure what is going on here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I can't enter into a dialogue with you here in the comments section of my blog, but if you email me, I'll do all I can to help!
Best wishes
Dan
Awesome tutorial! Thank you so much!
Dan, I have been watching all your videos, love them. I'm new to a word book and have a couple questions. What do people do with them and how do you put them together? Thanks Nancy
Hi Dan,
I loved your tutorial. I've run into a problem where I can not "break apart" the letters. I do what the tutorial says, but the center of the D never does anything. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

Thank you so much for your tutorial. Here are a few Word Books I created with your help!

Thank you so much for this. I literally installed Inkscape and SCAL this afternoon and, with nothing but your tutorial to guide me, created and cut a word book this evening. I can't thank you enough for this.
