Hi all. @MadeBetterWithKnowledge I try to make learning new things to do with woodworking related projects and laser production. if to find any of the videos helpful please share with like minded people to spread the knowledge.
Great video. I’m new to lasers but have seen a box, similar to the lantern, used as an exterior for a flower vase, with slotted sides. I like the look of the finished slots and wondered if you have a video covering that type of joint/finger. I couldn’t find anything on boxes py.
Great video, I have just bought a laser mainly to help me get good inlays. It’s good to watch someone doing the exact thing. Hopefully I can succeed in time😅
Your tutorials have been excellent. I am new to lasers, but I've been a woodcarver and wood worker for years. I've turned to lasers now that hand trimmers prevent hand carving. I would appreciate greatly a tutorial on the art work design techniques. I had previously subscribed to your channel. THANK YOU again for the knowledge you have shared.
Thank you for this tutorial. This taught me the concepts of joinery that would have taken me a lot of trial and error. I especially like the kerf offset trick. You're awesome! Thanks and keep up the great content (1st time laser owner just getting started with m Lasermatic MK2 WX, 1 week in and loving the whole process)
I am so glad you pointed out the just because you have figured out your KERF setting - that it doesn't mean that number will be perfect every time - that you have to also deal with the differences in wood, dryness, moisture, etc. It is really frustrating once you have it, to cut something and have the KERF be too tight or too loose!
You're really clever! I've been watching video on engraving images and none have had a thorough explanation like your videos. Well done! I love this and I also watched your video re engraving on slate :) ❤
Fantastic. Thank you so much. I have been extremely busy for the last 6 weeks, but I have finally found the time today to start prepping this video to record it tomorrow, so hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
@MadeBetterWithKnowelge Just ordered my first ever laser, 40w diode + 2w ir. Thank you for the great explanations and inspiration. Do you plan a video on live hinges?
I have an acmer p1 laser and I use it for wedding personalisation on etsy, to make money through it you have to stick to being active on fb, ins, Tiktok.
That is something no one else talks about, Thanks. I have a question that I hope you can answer for me. Can you tell me how to turn that cross hair on and off? Mine does not come on and I need to know if it's a problem with the machine or if something got turned off some how?

If you are able to cut a material with your laser, absolutely. If you struggle cutting say 6mm material but you can cut 3mm material, you can create your box in the generator with 3mm thickness. I hope this helps.
Awesome video, very detailed. Thanks for creating it. It answered a lot of questions that I had. Looking forward to figuring out my perfect photo and gravy settings for my laser. And by the way, 30 minutes is not too long, especially when the content is meaningful.
Hi, enjoyed your video and have subscribed and liked. Wondering, why does the black slate need a coating of black paint before engraving? What would it come out like if no coating was used, or if a clear coat was used?
Great video, loved it and learnt something about Lightburn. Thank you for this video. I'm just starting with laser engraving, what kind of spray do you use after sanding the coasters?
Thank you. Prior to laser engraving, I use a matte black automotive spray paint. If I can't source matte paint, I'll settle for using a satin finish but never use a gloss. It is hard to see your finished result if you finish with a gloss in certain lights.
Why don’t you just etch the coaster without sanding and painting? You get a really good contrast between the original darker split surface and the etched parts. I do this all the time with anything from text or logos up to detailed photos.
