Hello Sam, This is Susan (Mama B) Thank you so much for my beautiful spoon set! I was so surprised when I saw the engravings. It really was the perfect gift! 🐝❤️

@Samcraftcom Год назад

So nice to "meet you"! :) I really really enjoyed how yours turned out too! Kudos to your gift giver for reaching out to see if I would do something custom. I enjoyed it! :)

@pitcherb111 Год назад

I’m so pleased with my order, and you showed my utensils in your video, it was awesome to see and to know they were the ones shipped to me. I will order another set for my daughter for Christmas. Again thank you so much and thanks to Angela for my soap order too. You are my favorite show on you tube. I look forward to watching you every week.

@Samcraftcom Год назад

That is so cool! :) Thank you again and again for your order too! I will let Angela know. :)

@jackhelm9852 Год назад

As always, great video. I have to say, watching you do these things (And please know I mean this is only the best way possible) because your unsophisticated style of working and explaining things speaks to me on what feels like an equal level and gives me tons of confidence in my own endeavors. I don't ever have to say "Yeah well HE can do it because look at his incredible expensive setup" or "his experience level puts him way above the average guy". I love that about your approach and its why I love tuning into your channel whenever you put something out, even when it has nothing to do with Laser Engraving. :) You seem like someone I could walk up to at a Wal-Mart and ask a question of and you would gladly answer. Please keep that "regular guy" style about you and never change because I am sure I am not alone that cherishes your approachability.

@popparob6174 Год назад

Jack I am in the same boat or way that you are, simple and easy, its not how good or the money one spends on things, its the care and way one works doing the job or produce the product, caring to get the best bang for the job or product, Later

@timothystutzman Год назад

Thanks Sam! You are the true example of business helping business. We all need to help each other. My motto has always been “surround yourself with good people and good things happen”. A while back your video encouraged me to buy the ortur which I love and am still learning. I finally bought the ortur cover which I wish I would have purchased right away. Did a couple orders and as I get better at using the software will be selling more. If I find a good manufacturer of wood products I’ll be sure to message you. God bless you brother and your family!

For the laser freaking out issue get a UPS (CyberPower or APC) for the laser. That will clean the signal up and also give you some extra time running if needed a light, tablet and laser will only use 100-130 watts.

@niccolealdrich4890 5 месяцев назад

Great video! ❤ Thanks for sharing! Do you have a video showing how you set your shop up off grid? I would love to see it! Do you ever pre-sand all of your utensils ahead of time? Maybe you can do all of your sanding in one day. Then just grab what you need as you go and put them through the engraver and then finish your process. Just a thought.

@garyhunt2270 Год назад

Sam, my wife and I love your videos. We always watch all of the Green Acres videos together. One quick note about the oil finishes, mineral oil is actually vegan as well, you just have to be sure to not use oil that has beeswax added to it, like many board "conditioners."

@Samcraftcom Год назад

You're right, it's vegan. :) The non-petroleum based finish is a good selling point for this oil, too. Although I've wondered the appreciable difference between sales... how many would choose one over the other... Hmmm.. :)

@TennesseeMtnMan Год назад

Sam the man in action !!! Love it !!! How does the engraving hold up to use ? Like stirring soups and stews. Do you need to re-oil them after using and washing ?

@Samcraftcom Год назад

The engraving should last a very long time since they're placed in a general low-friction point of the utensil. The utensil's lifespan before needing to be touched up and oiled again depends on the user and how they care for it. Submerging or dunking in fluids is a killer to the utensil. It robs them of the oils and strips them down again. It's not the end of the world (usually) but does mean sanding and oiling them again as if new.

@walker614jw Год назад

I don't know if your sanding mop is able to be taken apart. But there is one on Amazon that does come apart and you can make your own sanding mop pads by cutting small strips of sandpaper, punching a hold in the center, and stacking them. It's tightened by a nut and you can make them thick or thin and any grit. I learned of this from another RU-vid that carves wood spirits with a Dremel Tool, and he makes his own sanding mops on smaller jigs...

@chasing_happiness Год назад

Don't cross the streams! Nice lil Ghostbusters quote in there. High five Sam!

@gedreillyhomestead6926 Год назад

Hi Sam as the spoon is likely to be stored in the same manner as your oil drying rig, can you flip the logo in the system so it's the right (other) way up? 👍 😎

@Samcraftcom Год назад

Yep, very easily. That’s always an option the customer chooses on my website too-utensil orientation.

@10xSmiles Год назад

Hi Sam - Great content. Hubby even sat down to watch with me. New subscribers.

@keithkolmos5933 Год назад

Hey Sam, love your channel. The reason why the drill press and laser can’t operate together is the motor on the press is kicking out all kinds of conducted emissions back onto the power line…..more than the laser’s power supply can filter out. You might want to do some research into power line filtering. I’m not an electrical engineer but I work on a lot of projects with EEs and this comes up a lot in our designs, so I’m not 100% sure if it would be better to put the filter on the press or the laser. If you got a UPS that also did power quality filtering you could put that on the laser and it should knock that down.

@Samcraftcom Год назад

Ahhh... that totally makes sense! I have an ISObar somewhere in the shop (in one of these boxes) that I bought for the CNC when I got it, but never needed it. I should try to dig it up and put the laser on it. It's supposed to help with interference. :)

I also watch "Phil Anderson - Shady Acres Woodshed" who turns branches on a lathe leaving as much bark as possible then sands the bark portion with something called sand-o-flex.

Hey, Sam, do you ever make and monogram cutting boards? My daughter was married this year and shes a culinary graduate. I'm not sure what you would sell it for and if I have the budget, but it would be cool to get a cutting board for them with a monogram.
