    Man, $40 for a set of four? That's more than I was thinking. I guess I need to get after it. I have my first batch of blank slate coasters arriving later tonight, going to do some for family to see how it goes, then do some American flags and Sonoran desert themed stuff since I'm in Phoenix. We have tourists and snowbirds, so I was thinking a table at a swap meet with some different offerings.

    • @TheDadCave
      @TheDadCave Місяць тому

      Right on, I hope this video helps you out. Test out your market and find the sweet spot for your pricing. I vacation out on the river in Parker and you are absolutely correct about the snowbirds. I think you could do well if you have some designs that are different than others and if you offer additional slate decor items. Of course anything you can do that is custom will be a big money maker also. Good luck to you.

    I took a piece of coated slate to my local shop that has a CO2 laser. It was an old slate roof shingle and I did not paint it. They were running 500dpi (which after your video seems really high). Even without painting it black, what is the highest you would go on dpi? It did seemed washed when they were showing me their tests, mind you this was a 13mb high res photo as well.

      I permanently attached my laser to a piece of 3/4 inch plywood and then ran a grid pattern onto the wood that represents the grid you see in Lightburn. Since the laser is fixed to the wood, you just lay your project piece in the correct location on the grid and hit go. Everything will be perfectly aligned. I hope that helps. If it would be helpful to see a video let me know.

    Good stuff. I'm new to engraving (5w laser) and going to try slate coasters, for personal use (at first). I was expecting $20 for a set of 4 but your profit margin is awesome - congrats. My question is do you have to lacquer them? Do you need to do that to preserve the engraving or is it just for getting that shine on them? Either way, thanks for the video.

    • @TheDadCave
      @TheDadCave 3 місяці тому

      Thanks for the question! I clear coat them for the exact reasons you mentioned. I got some slate coasters as part of a whiskey set that were laser engraved and over time the image on the coasters faded with use. I figure the clear coat would help to prevent fading and enhances the image contrast. Good luck with your laser. I am planning more laser engraving videos, are there any other topics you might want covered in videos?

    Looks like each one gets harder to cut due to the cooling. Supposedly STEAMING them works better than boiling them directly in the water and steaming only requres 3-5 minutes.

      I didn’t notice a difference as I was cutting them. I think steaming could also be a good option and achieve the same result. I might give it a shot to see. Thanks for the option.
