Thanks for the feedback Jonathon. Music and audio is absolutely something that I struggle with but am hoping to get better at with every video. I totally get your point and I think at times in an attempt to fill dead space I think I may have the music too loud to the point where it is distracting. Thank you for taking the time to comment. It’s all helpful. Cheers mate
Thanks for taking it as intended 😅 To be honest I’d drop the music entirely - I can’t stand background music on videos. The sounds of wood being worked are perfect accompaniment. If you could add the smell it would be bliss.
I really don't understand the book tent. How is that better than a bookmark? Seems like it would be big, clunky, and heavy. I'm not being critical, I'm genuinely curious.
One file with the layers already separated. Can you message me on Instagram? Not sure if I can send a link here or not but certainly can on Instagram. Thank you
That's a great jig you built. very impressed. Using dowels on the honeycomb is great. I learned a ton not even counting the laser work. Thanks!lll Now all i need is a better miter saw and a better table saw.
Hello friend. Thanks for the great video!! Awesome job. Please answer me a question as best you can , if you can. I have been very interested in lasers for years but never really could afford a good one. They’re generally $15,000.oo and up to get what you really need from what I can tell. My question is, “””””If I spend the money on a laser and put the time in at the shop using it, can I make a living doing just that with no other income?? I mean like roughly $1,000.oo weekly net income. “”””” If you can reply I greatly appreciate it. I love your 3-D pictures and thats my biggest focus for a laser at this point. Oh and I liked and subscribed to your channel. Comments are also a big deal with a YT Channel. I will find all your vids, like them and leave a comment on them all to help you out. Thank you my friend and best of luck to you!!!…. :))…..
Hi there, thank you for taking the time to comment. I really think it would be tough relying on the income from a laser business solely. I think it is a great side hustle however. Lasers are coming down in price and they are increasing in power. More power means a reduction in cutting time and you can make more products in less time. Just make sure to use a good fume extractor to protect your lungs!
For your room name tag you can cut all 3 parts from the same piece of wood and the Laser kerf is so small the fit together great. You can color each and fit them on a backer piece, it does save wood doing that.
Yeah me too. The possibilities are endless with the different layers and stains. I was even thinking if I used the same colours but changed the order of the sheets it would look totally different too!
Hi, I am laserengraving for years now. My expirience is, you cant earn good money with it. I have made crazy, nice stuff, but the people dont want to have it. They love it, but they dont want to buy it. So its hard to believe when laserguys tell, that they earn enough money with a laser, that you can live from that money. But maybe its only in Germany like that.. maybe somewhere else people buy our stuff. Regards from Germany.
Hi there, I totally get what you mean and to be honest it would be very hard to have an income solely based on the laser business, but I have found it allows me to add 15-20% onto my sale price of woodworking items if I can engrave an image or logo or text. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing your projects. My son is always laying his books on the ground and breaking the spine, so I'll definitely make a book support for him. What width do you make the boards that have the 22 deg angle?
Hey mate thank you for your kind words. It’s an arbitrary width hey. I actually made the two sides and glued them together and then measured the width that way before cutting the base so it was a perfect fit. I hope that makes sense.
Hey there, thanks for watching! It’s a fun hobby. I did start with an Aufero LM3 and had a lot of fun with it. I just like the fact that it just takes my existing woodworking to another level. When I make a box for a customer they are always blown away by something simple like burning their name on the box or something. Please let me know when you unbox your laser, I would be keen to see what you create with it. Also message me on Instagram if you want some tips or ideas on what to create with it. I have plenty of ideas!
Yeah I think I will be fine. Also the quote featured in the video is from a book that is over 100 years old so no copyright on that one. Thanks for watching!
Yeah you’re right. Sorry about that. The truth is these are all rough measurements. They would be about 14cm wide though. So I cut the angles on the two sides and glued them together first and then I placed them on top of the base and struck a line and cut the base width after the fact. Hope this helps
Daniel m8 they are sweet. The bear in the woods especially. Hope your having fun with it and all the files a sent ya. Now a kusy need to get a laser save me having try cut beard combs with a bandsaw. You no if youve a spare al happily put it to good use or if you wanna talk to your contacts send them my way id be very greatful!👍🏴
It varies depending on where you are selling (ie markets, website etc) but generally in my area I can sell the book tent for $45 Australian dollars and the forest artwork for $65 (but I usually do a larger one). Thanks for watching!
Yeah the multilayered designs are really cool. I like the fact that I could have switched the stains around and it would look like a totally different piece!
If the metal is coated (line anodised) then yes but it cannot etch bare metal. You need a laser with a different wave length. It's a pretty specific kind of laser wave length. I even have a CO2 laser and that can't even do metal. Thank you.
To facilitate 'gluing' layers, can you stick double sided tape sheets to the back of the wood before cutting so that for the end product all the customer has to do is peel tape backing and press the bits together?
@@riversidewoodworks Check the rating With a high power diode laser you need a rating of OD5 or more For 450 wave (or close to it) these are typically orange or dark orange if they block 1000 range too (the opposite of blue) Ive never seen a good green glasses for blue diode... Maybe that possible but not to my experience. Be careful cause some manufacturers claim rating based on pick density (the selected wavelength range) You can find a chart with the precise parameters of glasses.
@@riversidewoodworks Although I'm an engineer technologist I know I don't know everything so I could be wrong. But plz check it out Better safe than sorry And you have only one pair of eyes so be careful bro.
@OnlyMadnessPain thanks for your advice. Will look for better ones. Are you saying the orange ones are better? Or the colour doesn’t mean much, just the numbers? Thanks again
@@riversidewoodworks Orange are typical ones for blue diode cause orange is the opposite of blue (simplifying) Check the ratings You will find a chart that will tell you the exact ranges and blocked value. Check for OD5 or more OD5 will block 10 times more than OD4 and 100x more than OD3. But remember checking chart Cause you can find OD5 ment for other use with some blue light filter (for example at the OD3 lvl) and they unfortunately can be advertised as OD5 suitable for blue laser.
