Well done!

Awesome, I’m glad to hear it!

I was trying to find a pony with the leather in the jaws but you’re totally right I can do it myself with this scrap leather. That’s a perfect plan, thanks!!

Oh nice! I’ve been struggling the past couple of days with punching the stitching chisel completely through so I am grateful for that beeswax tip. And you’re right, I have already calculated another $400 worth of tools I need. Would you mind telling my wife that our kitchen reno is gonna be delayed due to unforeseen leather working costs? 🤣

I found this kit on AliExpress.

Thank you for the advice! I’m just getting into leather crafting, and it’s exciting to see how much there is to learn. I’m starting small, making wallets and maybe keychains. Eventually, I’d love to expand to other leather goods, but right now I’m focused on refining my skills. I appreciate the tip on the stitch marking wheel and the French skiver-it’s great to know how to use the tools properly! I’ll definitely keep your shop setup in mind for future upgrades. What are your favorite tools or machines in your collection?

@@hobbylasermachine some of my favorite tools for hand carving leather are the following: Clay Miller tools 14oz tapered maul Barry King swivel knife with a hardened blade made from a tractor ignition point blade For machines, the Cobra class 4 sewing machine. I have a few clips of it in action on my channel.

Hey James, thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the advice and will definitely take a closer look at my tools. It's always a learning process, and I'm excited to improve with each project. I’ll be sure to practice more on scrap leather and get familiar with the specific functions of the skiver and edge beveler before working with the premium leather. Your insights about using a splitting machine for wallet backs make sense too. Thanks again for pointing me in the right direction!

Oh wait, upon further searching, it seems that it is called a "tracing wheel" . Search for (on UA-cam) : "Two Ways to Trace Your Sewing Patterns | Pattern Tracing Tutorial" and skip towards 1:45

Nice find! I’ve never seen a leather worker use it before but good to know what it’s called and it’s purpose. Thank you for this.

Hi, it sounds like your COM port might still be having conflicts. Here's what you can try: 1. **Check COM port conflicts**: Ensure no other device is using the same COM port (3 or 6). You can change or disable unused ports in Device Manager. 2. **Run as Admin**: Launch Lightburn or GRBL as an administrator for better permissions. 3. **Reinstall drivers**: Uninstall the driver and reinstall the latest version. 4. **Verify Baud Rate**: Make sure your baud rate matches the laser's requirements. Hope this helps! Let me know how it goes!

@@hobbylasermachine thank you i finally got it, used a newer driver, chose a different baud rate and took settings from the laser's sd card

Glad you’re up and running Austin.

Sure, glad it helped!

🙇‍♂️

Hi Melannie! The blue painters tape would still be required to make the surface non reflective no matter the color of the plate. Hope this helps. 😁

¡Me alegra mucho que te haya sido útil! Si tienes alguna otra pregunta o problema, no dudes en preguntar. 😊

Thanks, Chris! Glad you liked the video. Bisqueware sounds like a great idea-I'll definitely give that a try. Appreciate the suggestion!

Great observation! Yes, in LightBurn, 10.00 means 1mm per second. It's important to double-check those settings to get the results you want. Thanks for pointing that out!

For super complicated troubleshooting ChatGPT has proven to be a game changer. Simply copy and paste your comment into ChatGPT and be sure to include your specific laser module. I use ChatGPT for troubleshooting constantly nowadays. Hope this helps!

@@hobbylasermachine Thanks for your support. It's much appreciated.

The xTool F1 Ultra claims to frame automatically but I saw @TheClackShack using it and the thing is 1mm off center almost always. Framing is something I still struggle with using the D1 and if I want it framed perfectly, I just have to take the time to get it perfect.

That’s a cool idea, thanks for the suggestion.

Okay. After I wrote that, you realized it. Forgetting to focus happens to me far too often.

🤣

I hope engraving the mug was a success for you!

@@hobbylasermachine Well, it's legible, it hasn't broken in the dishwasher, and no-ones stolen it - so I consider it a success. Will probably try on a higher contrast glaze next time, though - just for legibility

No doubt, a camera on this D1 would be incredible.

Thank you for your kindness Alejandro and I hope that your ventures work out well for you.

Happy it helped Juan!

Thanks Bobby and that’s awesome, I hope it arrives soon for you. If you need any help with it just let me know. 👍

@@hobbylasermachine thanks. Will do

I got it and finally put it together. How do people align their wood pieces (or whatever material) so it engraves on centre?

Hey! Do you mean the orange plastic piece?

@@hobbylasermachine The metal cone that has the screw on it 😂 I don't know the name of it lol

Hi there! Thank you for watching the video and reaching out. I'm sorry to hear about the trouble you're having with your Atomstack A10 Pro. Let's see if we can get this sorted out for you. Here are a few steps you can follow to troubleshoot the issue: 1. Check Laser Power Settings: In LightBurn, ensure that the laser power settings are correct. Go to the Cuts/Layers tab and make sure the power (expressed as a percentage) is set to a value higher than 0%. You might need to set both minimum and maximum power levels. 2. Enable Laser Fire Button: Since you mentioned the laser fire button, make sure it’s enabled and functioning correctly. Go to Device Settings (Edit > Device Settings), then to the Basic Settings tab. Ensure the Enable Laser Fire Button option is checked. This button allows you to manually turn on the laser at low power for focusing. 3. Check for Firmware Settings: Make sure your firmware settings are configured correctly. Connect your laser to your computer and open LightBurn. In the console, type the following commands and press Enter after each one: $32=1 (This enables laser mode) $30=1000 (This sets the maximum spindle speed, which should match the S-value max in LightBurn) 4. Set S-Value Max: In LightBurn, go to Device Settings and make sure the S-Value Max matches the value set in your firmware. Typically, this is set to 1000, but it might be different for your machine. 5. Wiring and Connections: Double-check all wiring and connections to ensure everything is secure and correctly plugged in. 6. Test with Simple Shapes: Try running a test with a simple shape (like a square or circle) using default settings. Sometimes starting with a simple design can help isolate the issue. 7. Update Firmware: Make sure your machine's firmware is up-to-date. Sometimes bugs are fixed in newer versions that could resolve your issue. If after trying these steps you still face issues, please provide more details about the problem. Screenshots of your settings could also be helpful for further troubleshooting. I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you need further assistance. Good luck, and happy engraving! ~Shane

Thanks David and your jig kit is 5-stars all the way. I Love those live streams with Steve. Congrats on the LLC and I'll be watching on Sunday --> www.youtube.com/@TheClackShack/streams

Ahhh microfibre, good tip. That will definitely make life easier. Thanks!

Thank you... so ... much! I finally realized why this project failed. I didn't ease into the power as you described. I never even thought about that technique. I just burned right through both layers of paint. You just helped me a lot, I'm really grateful to you for sharing this as I have wondered for well over a year why this failed so badly and now the lightbulb just turned on.

@@hobbylasermachine you most welcome.. I learned a lot from you as well so thank you 🥰

Enabling the laser fire button is indeed a useful feature for free-hand cutting, but it typically doesn't allow the laser to stay on continuously without holding the button down. Most laser systems are designed with safety in mind, preventing the laser from staying active without manual engagement. For your unique needs, a foot pedal could be an excellent solution. Some laser systems allow for the integration of foot pedals to control the laser. If your current setup doesn't support this, you might consider a custom modification. Here's a general approach: 1. Check the Laser Controller: See if your laser controller has an option for external controls. Some controllers have input ports for accessories like foot pedals. 2. Foot Pedal Integration: If your controller supports it, you can purchase a compatible foot pedal and connect it. Ensure it's rated for your laser's power and control system. 3. Custom Foot Pedal: If you’re technically inclined, building a foot pedal from scratch is possible. You would need a foot switch, proper wiring, and connectors that match your laser system's requirements. Regarding the specific nature of your work with fibers, using a laser is indeed beneficial as it doesn't exert physical force on the material. Ensure your laser’s power settings are properly adjusted to avoid burning. If modifying or creating your own foot pedal sounds daunting, consider reaching out to the manufacturer of your laser system for advice on compatible accessories. They might offer or recommend a suitable foot pedal or other solutions tailored to your cutting needs.

Laser settings top layer: 1500 mm / min at 75% power. Bottom two layers: 500 mm / min at 80% power.

Heeey! I've got a lot of new filament and one that could be cool with the planter idea is a marble filament, it might look good as a completed product. We shall see and I hope you're doing well! I'll have to check out your channel one of these days, I saw a collection of shorts over there but in any case I just subscribed.

I’m still deer in headlights, haven’t found a moat.

Thanks Linda! The clear coat used is One Coat Clear Oil Based Satin. The brand is Timber Protect by British Paints. Hope this helps. 😁

Hi Jason, To fix the connection issue between your Jtech 44w laser and your OneFinity CNC, you can try the following steps: 1. **Check Connections**: Ensure all cables are securely connected between the laser and the CNC controller. Check for any loose or damaged wires. 2. **Firmware and Software Updates**: Update the firmware of your OneFinity CNC and any related software or drivers for the Jtech laser to the latest versions. 3. **Compatibility**: Verify that the Jtech laser is compatible with the OneFinity CNC. Sometimes, specific settings or firmware versions are required for compatibility. 4. **Software Settings**: Adjust the settings in your CNC control software to ensure it recognizes the laser. This might involve configuring the laser as a tool in the software and setting the correct parameters. 5. **USB Drivers**: If you're connecting the CNC to your laptop via USB, ensure you have the necessary drivers installed. Check the device manager on your laptop to see if the CNC is recognized. 6. **Support Forums and Documentation**: Refer to the user manuals for both the Jtech laser and the OneFinity CNC for troubleshooting tips. Manufacturer support forums can also be a valuable resource for specific issues. If these steps do not resolve the issue, consider reaching out to the support teams for Jtech and OneFinity for further assistance.

Sure! 🙂

Thanks man 💪

Happy it helped Riley 😁

no es nada amigo! 🤘

That’s awesome Ventura! And thank you for such kindness, you are actually, in fact, the man! 😁

Haha 😆 this comment made my day, thanks Steven!

That’s awesome, I really never expected this little tutorial to help anyone but I’m stoked for you that this worked on your laser machine. 🤘

That would make sense from a safety perspective for sure.

Thank you for this information and I’ll pin it for anyone else unsure. I’ve been using the engraved plate exclusively for cookies but I’ll just display it on the book case from now on. 🤘
