Welcome Back
In todays video I will be going through, in detail, my workflow on how i produce the best laser engravings on wood without the use of any chemicals.
If you haven't tried these 3 key components that I use in every picture I engrave you are missing out.
If you have a different way of engraving let us know how you do it in the comments so your knowledge can help others.
Thankyou for taking the time to watch my video, I hope you have learnt something.

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 :) ❤

Thank you. I hope these videos have helped.

@RonEstrada 7 месяцев назад

This was great info. I’m doing a lot of photo engraving and this will save me from spending a lot of time testing images.

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 7 месяцев назад

Brilliant. Just 1 thing to keep in mind your power scale may change depending what species of wood your engraving on. Your dpi and de focus settings should be fine but you may need to run a test for your power when engraving on different woods

@RonEstrada 6 месяцев назад

@@MadeBetterWithKnowledge That'll be a challenge. I'm a woodturner. We get our wood green and from anywhere we can find it. It's quite a collection in my woodshed!

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 6 месяцев назад

Fantastic. I wish you all the best and welcome you to the lasering community. In future videos I'll be posting will be mainly about project ideas that make money but are also fantastic gift ideas. I'll bee walking through the whole process on how to make them all. If you are stuck with anything and you can't find any information on what it is your stuck on just leave a comment on one of my videos and I will do my best to get back to you.

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.

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 7 месяцев назад

Thank you for making it to the end. No matter how much I cut out of the video, it still ended up being 30 minutes long.

Arrived home after a long day of work I have looked at this video with a lot of interest. Even if I am a beginner in the laser world,I have found it very intelligent and useful. Thank a lot from Italy. Looked at it till midnight. Long but very clear. Well done Jonny. I am going to share it to a friend of mine. Bye for now.

Hi Johnny, I watched to the end, i was up last night and came across you my friend. I am just starting up and I have bought a lot of stuff. I was wondering if it would be possible to email you, because you are by far the best person I have come across at explaining it. I have no experience with computers and engraver’s. I need your help if possible. You have a good bad, Thank you for the videos 👏👏

@What_I_Make 7 месяцев назад

Very good, the only thing I would be concerned about is different wood species. I think different power settings would be required, but this should be saved once for each specieis. Also cleaning the laser lens has played a bit factor. I don't have a blower.

@alsadaj1834 4 месяца назад

Hi Johnny. Made it to the end. I like this video, it was the only one I've ever seen that said more than "adjust it till it looks good" like that means something. Good advice but I wonder if you adjust your scan offset? Thanks for everything.

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 4 месяца назад

Thank you very much for your comment it means a lot. I really hope that watching this video has helped in some way. I am assuming, and I might be wrong, that you're referring to scan offset as over scanning. If so, I set it to a minimum of 5% to allow for the laser to slow down and speed back up before it has to power back on again. If you're referring to scan offset as the machine setting, I have left mine as the machine settings as I have not come across any issues thus far. I hope I have answered your question adequately.

@bigdawg5135 5 месяцев назад

@mars-cs4uk 6 месяцев назад

Hi dude, Your laser is very sharp. If anyone wants to engrave a picture then is this is the video to watch. Thanks. Is glass engrave is same as wood? If not, pls make a video when you have time. Thanks again.

@wyshee 6 месяцев назад

Does this apply to the settings for the laser being used specifically regardless on what you are engraving or do we need to do this for each different material? Excellent Video.

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 6 месяцев назад

The dpi and the de focus settings will always be the same. You will have to do a power scale test for different woods

@KiKi-mc2ve 5 месяцев назад

@MrJfrutuoso1972 7 месяцев назад

Just a quick question, on the latest version of Lightburn when you select Jarvis the option to select the min Power is gone, so we only have the option using greyscale, any idea?

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 7 месяцев назад

Which version of lightburn are you on 1.4.04?

@MadeBetterWithKnowledge 7 месяцев назад

I have just taken a look through the settings for diode lasers and co2 lasers. It seems that the minimum power is locked on engraving types other than grayscale for diode lasers. That is an error on my end. In your case, you can still use the image that I used in the video for your power scale. The only setting you will have to change is the max power until you have a good contrast in colour throughout the scale. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will need to amend my video. This is a great catch and a huge error on my end. I hope the information I provided in this comment is clear on what to do.
