About me: I run an online Etsy shop where I sell mostly laser cut goods and files. At first, my business was mainly crochet and knitwear, but I recently pivoted to strictly laser cutting. I really like the infinite possibilities laser cutting brings, and also enjoy coming up with my own unique designs. 😊 Intro Song: I have the rights under a license to use the following song in my intro - Endless Bliss - Sounds Like Sandler.

So beautiful 🤩 I’m actually purchasing a glowforge and I cannot wait!!! Thanks for sharing your ideas 🤍
Thank you, May! I appreciate that. And I’m so excited for you!! 😃
I have really enjoyed watching your videos the past couple weeks. I have finally decided to order myself one and I will be doing so using your referral link. Thanks!
Ayse, thank you so much. I really appreciate that more than you know and I’m so glad you find my videos helpful! Let me know if you ever have any questions!

Excellent creations catherine! I have watched several videos using laser engraver and most blah products. You have restored my interest in laser engraving!
Thanks so much, Rob! That means a lot! I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)

Wow, every one is amazing! Thanks for sharing 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you!
Fabulous work ... thanks for sharing! I will be using your code soon to get ny glowforge.🌺
Thank you so much! I appreciate that. Let me know if you ever have questions 😊
That Christmas box and snow globe ornaments are awesome!
Thanks so much!
I've been doing a variety of crafts using a Cricut machine and more recently, sublimation. I'm very interested in what can be done with a laser. Your video showed some very interesting things that can be made. I like your creativity. Even though I'm very tech savvy, trying to decide whether or not to invest in this as mostly a hobby is challenging to say the least. There's a lot to learn. Thanks for the video. It was helpful.
Glad you found value in it! Thanks for the nice comment and for watching!
What sofware do you use?

Omg beautiful I never see this before you’re so talent and beautiful 💜💜
Thank you so much!
I really love all your work, my goal is to buy a glowforge when I've saved up enough to buy in full
Thank you so much!! I appreciate that. And I completely understand about wanting to pay in full - I’m the same way. Let me know if you ever have any questions!
tank you for this video
Lovely
Thank you!
Thank you so MUCH for such a great video showing all you can do. I was in the fence getting a glowforge. Which do you have? Definitely a new follower and I'll use you as reference when I purchase.
I have the basic personally.
I love your creations and the finishes that you use. It’s inspiring to see what you’ve been able to learn and create with your Glowforge. May I ask what type of paint you recommend using for your wood projects?
Thank you so much Leah! That’s so kind of you. And I use mainly acrylic paint. I usually use Waverly chalk paint for things like the name puzzles, but for more intricate things like ornaments, I use either paint markers that you can find at any craft store or I just use folk art acrylic paint. :)

You can tell that you have a good creative eye. Such a great variety of projects. Do you use Illustrator to design your own creations?
Thank you so much! I actually just use Inkscape to design and it has worked well so far. I thought about trying illustrator but may do that in the future. :)
@@85thandPine Thanks for your speedy reply. Inkscape 🤔 I’ll have to check it out. I’m still in the research stage with the laser thing. You certainly seem to have made the most of it.
@@Eyagsf you’re welcome! And yes, I highly recommend trying Inkscape first since it’s a free program you install on your computer. I’ve heard it’s similar to Illustrator.
This video was amazing with beautiful and unique products! Can you tell me the font you used for the Aloha sign?
Thanks Chelsea! The font I incorporated is MyHope. And it does come as shown in the file :)
Hiiii! Thanks so much for this informative video, do you think cookie cutters can be made with a glowforge?
Hi there! You’re welcome and thank you! I’ve thought about trying cookie cutters but haven’t yet. I just don’t know if they would be able to cut through dough well or not... but they might! It’s hard to say since I haven’t tried yet. The material would probably also need to be somewhat thicker as well.
NICE
Thank you!
@@85thandPine just hang these over the glowforge and look at the look
It really seems like you can make a lot with this. Did you buy any files when you started?
Yes, I bought files initially since I didn't have any design experience. That worked really well too.
@@85thandPine That seems like a solid plan. I will probably do that when I get my machine.
@@thatlasercuttingguy3818 I definitely recommend it!
Could you tell me what glue you use when putting pieces together? And where you purchase your wood from? Thank you so much!! Just getting into my Glowforge.
Hi! I always use either Gorilla Wood Glue or Super Glue, depending on the material. Use wood glue for any wood you are gluing together and you can use super glue for acrylic. I typically buy my wood products from Lasered By The Creek or Smokey Hill Designs. Acrylics from Houston Acrylic. They all have amazing materials. We actually just started a new business that you might be interested in (it's a private community with tons of monthly benefits including discounts on these material suppliers). We are launching April 30th. You can check it out here if you'd like: www.laserdesignclub.com/ but please let me know if you have any other questions. Congrats on your new laser journey!! :)
How do you know what materials to use ? Size and type of wood?
Lots of testing from different suppliers. Thankfully we have narrowed it down to the best ones in the industry. We also happen to have exclusive discounts for them in that new community I mentioned earlier.
Wow another great video. Thank you! Can you tell me how long the easter peeps sign is? Maybe it's just the picture but it looks bigger than what I'd expect a gf basic to fit ( haven't bought mine yet).
Hi Jackie! Thanks for the reminder! I failed to put that on my Etsy. The longest version of it is 18.5in long. That's about the maximum you can cut in the basic model. Here's the link. www.etsy.com/listing/977266425/svg-easter-peeps-sign-peeps-easter-sign?click_key=8cfa684482e4b3d33623c73bfdc0db2a9700af0c%3A977266425&click_sum=347864ae&ref=shop_home_active_85&sts=1
Todo muy lindo, excelente. A propósito, qué máquina usas? Que potencia y qué tipo de láser es?
Thank you very much! I use a Glowforge Basic model which is a 40 watt laser. It's a nice laser because it is compact and fits on a desktop and cuts wood and acrylic about 1/4" thick. Very easy to use. :) -Catherine
Hey very nice projects, liked it immediately. Which kind of glue do you use to fix the magnets and the acrylic on the plywood?
Hi! Thanks so much! I used Gorilla Super Glue when gluing acrylic together or when gluing acrylic to plywood. And used Gorilla Wood Glue for just gluing wood together.
@@85thandPine subscribed! 😊
Thank you for this video! It was extremely informative! I’m a stay at home mom to 3 girls and I’m itching to find ways to earn an income while I can still be available at home for my family. I will definitely consider purchasing the glow forge in the next several months! Do you pay for the subscription service that you pay monthly for? Where do you find inspiration for design ideas? You really have some cute items!
I’m glad this was helpful for you! This was definitely a big decision but a life changer for my family. I don’t pay for the monthly service because I don’t personally think it’s necessary to use to be successful. I get ideas on creating designs based off of what’s currently trending or just simply because an idea pops into my head! :) There’s so much you can do with the machine so it makes for a fun business.
Thank you for answering so quickly! Can’t wait to make this purchase! ❤️
@@amandafelts87 I’m excited for you!
It sjows that even a non technical person can do things like this with the right tools. I just bought a different unit, cant afford a glowforge. But maybe if I can generate enough money I can get one.
Yes, exactly! I had no previous experience and still learning things every day. It's fun. Definitely a great investment in my opinion.
dumb question: where do you get the thin plywood and the acrylic? what else can be used? i am new to this.
Hi Amy. I get most of my materials from smokeyhilldesigns.com/ In my opinion they offer the best quality and price. I get just about all my wood from them. This is where I get most of my acrylic from (CMS Acrylics) cmsacrylics.com
As far as what it can be used on, that is pretty much endless. Ive cut paper, wood, acrylic, and leather. Engraved on rocks, slate, cutting boards, you name it. If it fits in the machine you can pretty much work with it. It cannot cut metal however. Only fiberglass lasers can cut metals. You can engrave on them though if you use a special spray. Here's a little more information about everything you can work with. glowforge.com/faq/materials-and-uses#what-materials-can-glowforge-cut-engrave
Where do you purchase the wood sheets from?
Hi! I usually buy my materials from Smokey Hill Designs. They are based out of North Carolina.
What are the "Aloha" and "Sweet One" signs called? I would like to make some to label a buffet. Thanks.
Hi! I don’t have those files available for purchase but if you email me at 85thandpine@gmail.com I can send them over to you
Which version do you recommend and why. Have you ever needed the pass through?
Hi Karen! I have the basic but I hope to get the pro in the future because of the pass through. I haven’t necessarily needed it but there are certain bigger projects I’ve been eager to make with the pass through slot. With that said, my basic works great and has gotten me where I am today, but if I had the money at the time, I would’ve gone with the pro. Plus it supposedly faster, which is something I’m personally interested in. If you have financial restrictions, the basic or even plus (faster than the basic) would be good choices.
Where do you normally get your wood for your projects?
Hi! Normally I buy from smokeyhilldesigns.com :)
Where did you get the Christmas box with the key? You don’t have it on your Etsy page.
That box was designed by someone else. Here’s the link on Etsy,
www.etsy.com/listing/679822372/
Can you tell. me the Etsy shop name for the gift box?
Here is the link... www.etsy.com/listing/679822372/cnc-plans-box-template-laser-cut-box-cnc?ga_search_query=Box&ref=shop_items_search_4&crt=1
All great projects. Im interested in getting a Glowforge. Mind if I ask you a few questions?
Sure no problem!
@@85thandPine is there any smoke from the machine while in use?
@@thatlasercuttingguy3818 You shouldn't have issues with smoke coming out of the machine. The venting system sucks it out while the machine is running and sends it out your window.
@@85thandPine do you use a window vent or the air filter?
@@thatlasercuttingguy3818 I actually started with the air filter but no longer use it since the window works very well and it doesn't cost any extra.
Hi Catherine
I’m trying to purchase a glowforge, but in your video you didn’t tell us which one you had!
Like I see the different price, but there not explaining what each one does!
I love the snow ❄️ globe and design box!
I want to purchase, but I need to know exactly what I need.
Hi LaSheena! I have the basic model. I have a video on the different models to choose from...
m.ua-cam.com/video/PG-BXgzGZWM/v-deo.html
But they all have very similar capabilities. The difference between the basic and pro is that the pro is the fastest in terms of cutting/engraving and it can handle much larger projects if that’s something you’re interested in. The plus is a step up from the basic since it’s also faster, but it can only handle projects as big as 19”x11” like the basic.
What type of paint and stains do you use?
I buy various acrylic paints usually from Joann’s. I’ve been using Tung Oil Finish for sealing wood but I don’t use a stain. I buy different colored woods from smokeyhilldesigns.com :)
Do you find you do more cutting or engraving with your projects?
We started doing a lot of cutting, especially when making ornaments. But right now we are doing more engraving on different materials.
@@85thandPine OK cool. I plan to do a little of both as well.
@@85thandPine thanks for your help. Ill be sure to use your code to buy my Glowforge
@@thatlasercuttingguy3818 There's quite a bit you can do with both!
@@thatlasercuttingguy3818 Anytime! And thank you so much, my family and I really do appreciate it.
Wow, these are look very professional! I love them all. Have you done anything in a metal material, like necklace pendants or keychains?
Thank you so much! I appreciate that! I haven't done any metals yet but hope to try engraving necklaces in the future. I just haven't gotten around to researching more about that yet! :)
Love watching your videos. How did you make your first sales? How long did it take to make your first $100 0r $500?
Thanks so much Melissa! I primarily sell through Etsy and at first, I just posted a couple of listings for ornaments (back in November) and it really just took off from there. I made quite a bit in my first month and was able to quit my full time job because of it. It was during Christmas season, but I’m still doing well with sales today so I’m definitely happy with the machine!
Purchasing a GlowForge with your referral discount. Thank you!!
Thank you so very much! My family and I are so thankful. Please let me know if you have questions! :) Best wishes to you!
@@85thandPine Well, I feel like the wealth of information you provide is worth it and priceless, so THANK YOU!
What is the price of glowfordge machine?
Hi! As of now on their website, Glowforge.com, the Pro is $5995, the Plus is $3995 and the Basic is $2995.
Hola todas las máquinas de glowgorge son de láser ,corte y grabado ? O alguna en específico .gracias
@@yohankacubaebbie ¡Hola! Sí, todas sus máquinas cortan y graban con láser.
-Catherine
Thanks for the reply...
I want this sooooooooooooooo bad!!! But no money and bad credit due to covid
That sucks, sorry! :( Maybe someday!!!
Hi Catherine... I hope you don't mind me bothering you with another question... Do you use a adhesive tape on your wood so it doesn't burn and if so, where do you get yours?
No problem! This is the one I buy and use on wood... www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DF7TDSF/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8
It’s paper tape, not vinyl (vinyl is harmful). I know that a lot of people use this for their Glowforge. The company doesn’t recommend it only because they say it can cause fire but I haven’t had issues.
