Can Thin Wood form Metal? Making plywood metal forming tools with the xTool P2 CO2 Laser Cutter 

Now the projects are endless! That would be an awesome addition to the garage.

Very cool addition to the workshop and nice little build👍

Very nice design and assembly of the cover, great information. Well done. Thank you.

Suuuuper cool. But, who has a damn laser cutter? Do I want one? Yes. Am I jealous? Yes. Will I watch this video? Absolutely.

Great video

Hey Tim! Thanks for the video. What kind of wood chips or debris did it create on your plywood template? Does it require dust collection?

Making jigs/forms = killer content! Setting laser focus, Z axis height, is tough to get right for thick material. I use hardboard from Home Depot for my jigs, super stable, finger joints without glue once you dial in laser kerf. Thanks Tim.

Plasma cutting templates out of clip board material for the WIN

That would be great for making your own gaskets!

Hey Tim I just recently started gasless flux cored welding and my beads are super skinny, and the puddles is really small I’m using Lincoln 0.35 flux core and I’m using the machines recommend settings do you know what I can do better?

Very clear to follow, thanks. I’ve seen several P2 reviews and the thick material burning seems common. The P2’s price is probably ok for people who are using it to sell resulting products or services, with Xtool’s D model a more reasonable consideration for most hobbyists.

Honestly, I think it looks better with the two pulleys exposed.

May I share an experience to encourage you to stay with the black steering wheel you have - do not use a 'vintage' steering wheel? About 1982 I crashed an old go-cart due to a steering failure. When my body hit the steering wheel it snapped anda spoke ripped me open really bad - lots of deep stitches! My point here is stay with that black steering wheel - it will deform without breaking. If you ever come across a 'vintage' steering wheel - like a white or cream color hard smooth brittle plastic - DO NOT USE IT ON A FUNCTIONING GO-CART - just hang it on a wall and share my story.
