If you look at the feedback for the product it was only showing feedback for other items in the store and the store itself only has 29 reviews. My guess is it hasn't sold any.
@@JamesDBuzzard Yeah all of a $181.52 in total revenue for the product according to Alura looking at the Etsy lsiting. The premise of making more luxurary goods is great. Just need an actual decent product to sell.
General rule of thumb is treat your laser as an hourly employee and then calculate the cost to run per hour of life of the machine. Different machines have different hourlies. This requires looking into your particular machines but lasers are generally cheap like 0.25 cents an hour. Worst case 1 dollar an hour. So total is {cost per hour to run in minutes} plus whatever hourly wage your machine is assigned in minutes.
The product description you brought up said it was a "set" of coasters, are you sure the price was for just one piece? They also had polished the countersunk cup holder, so you would have to add a polishing step to make an equivalent piece.
Hey great video! Tip for easier cork sticking. 3d print a little tray to put the cork into first then the coaster in the same shape as the coaster. You could even have like a half mm divit for the cork. Then just take off the part covering the sticky stuff on the cork, put the cork into the 3d printed tray with the sticky stuff up, and put the coaster in next and you'll have a perfect cork placement every time! Love your videos keep it up!
Isn’t it possible to engrave the circles with the water jet ? It took multiple passes to gut the marble maybe with only 1 or 2 passes you can create the same effect es the laser did ?
Great video. As far as the cost of running the laser.. what I’ve done is taken the hours that a laser is supposed to last which depending on the laser could be 10,000 hours and divide it up by what I paid for the laser. Then I divide that up by sixty to come up with my laser rate per minute. To that I add what I make hourly divided up to a per minute rate. Doesn’t always work great when projects take longer, but it gives me a starting point.
Another great video. I love how you went through ideation to product. On the cost front though it would seem worth mentioning that a Wazer is $10-12k+. It's one thing to ignore the cost of a $500 consumer 3d printer, but more industrial/commerical tools with big price tags like these it seem different to me. Personally I'd think of it as $12k spread out over 2 years (I'm not patient enough to consider a longer ROI time frame). That'd be $500 per month or $25/day (5 day week)... and then assuming you're actually using it 5 days a week. I'm sure many do, especially if you can find a product like that, if you could sell a few per day that's viable on it's own.
How to calculate your laser cost. Tube cost/tube life in hours + machine cost/expected machine life in hours + (power consumption in KWH / hour) x electric rate per KWH from a recent bill (Suggestion: Buy one of those inexpensive plug in power meters to measure the power consumption or, if you are me, buy an expensive Fluke clamp meter with adequate capacity and do it the hard way). (Lazy Cheap Cheaters - You don't have to measure anything, you can just calculate the consumption from the equipment plate info - not as accurate but it will do) Now that you know the cost per hour, divide it by 60 and you will know what it costs per minute to run your machine. (Note: I am doing this off the top of my head at 2:30 in the morning, so anyone catching a mistake, please nicely point out my error and I will correct this post.) Hope you find this helpful.
I "bill" my machines at some percentage of my own labor cost based on how much of my time is needed to use the machine for each product. I am in the shop setting up the machine and loading it so some percentage of my hourly rate needs to be factored into my machine costs.
Can you do a video on shop setup recommendations and organizing everything for a laser engraving shop? Prioritizing workspace etc. I can’t be the only one struggling to stay organized….
Sam - Long comment l, sorry. I'm a retired aviation mx controller. The way we figured cost for a major (anything "fixable" rather than throwaway) part was to divide the initial cost and the cost of the overhaul by the time until the first planned overhaul then add the cost of anything used or consumed during operations. After that, well, you've paid off the initial cost and just the next overhaul price/time plus operations cost plus a hedge (additional reserve) of X% to cover units that dont make it to overhaul. Then, the cost for all the parts is added up and becomes part of the per flight hour fixed cost of the aircraft. So in your case, what I would do is to realize that the only real "timed" replacement for a laser cutter is typically the cost of the tube. That tube is supposed to make it between 2000 and 10000 hrs, so let's (WAG) figure 5000 hrs total. So, take the initial cost of the laser, add the replacement cost of the tube, and divide that total by 5000. Then add the cost of electricity per hour in your area. That's your per hour cost. (You can also add the time/payrate for time you take during ops, but that's more of a commercial employee thing.) I would actually do the same thing for the Wazer - yeah, abrasive is most of it, but those machines cost like 10k per, don't they? If theres any major part that typically expires on time (pumps, nozzle, etc?) do the same calc. If not, then just figure it per the IRS depreciation setup (or just use 5 yrs - that's typically close enough.) Love the videos, keep them coming!
Great video. One comment, if you plan on waterjetting any natural stone product like this you should increase the lead in and out for the cut, I noticed it left a bump in the cut. I can see lots of options along this avenue.
the cost of electricity to run the laser .. you can meter your outlet where you plug the laser into . some people might factor in a cost for the laser itself because it cost money to purchase .,maintenance cost maybe . but employee cost for sure, because nobody works for free.
Great project Sam. Can you change the start point on the Wazer? It looked like the piece moved at the very end when starting top right, but if you started bottom right it would have more stablility from the screws and maybe not move.
you need to look at your consumables on the laser. How long does a CO2 laser head last. life of machine. electricity. Add that up per hour. then add your time for setup for first unit and each after. Done for cost.
great video, would definitely need to add in capital cost for machines, we know they aren't cheap or fixing them as well. Cool concept for sure, opened my eyes on waterjets and CO2 lasers. Thanks Sam!
I just checked it out to see the price to Ireland and it was €112 for the coaster and €43 postage as we are nearer to Turkey than the US. A Dollar is about the same value as the Euro, and they have 26 5Star reviews. It really makes you think.
That's the problem with luxury goods, people need to be convinced that it's worth the price and that's mainly communication. What you haven't included in your calculation yet is that the biggest expense you have is not in producing your goods but in communicating with customers. They will ask you if you can also make the coaster in gray, black or pink marble. “Does shipping only to the US mean you don't ship to Canada?” Could it be a little smaller? To fit my espresso cups? I need 4 by tomorrow, each engraved with the first name of one of my children. I have this wonderful cigar ashtray that I use for my cigar rounds, can you make me matching color coasters in the same grain? “It's me again from canada, my brother in law lives only 2 miles from the border, ok technically it's canada but come on, it's also almost in the US.” I inherited this wonderful marble coffee table from my recently deceased aunt, which doesn't match the style of my apartment at all, can you make me coasters like this from the table top? Is the cork produced by sustainable farmers? I am an aspiring influencer in the luxury goods sector with 200 followers, if you send me 4 pieces for free, I would show them in my planned episode about exceptionally luxurious coffee culture. “Hey, Canada again. I'm on a road trip to Mexico and will be very close to you tomorrow morning at 3:30, maybe you have time for a personal handover?” 😉
Cool, the water jet is nice. But why couldn't it do the whole thing? Also, some sort of groove or bowl on the flat part for the spoon would be good. Another idea would be engraving quotes or initials on the flat part.
Hello Sam, an interesting video, but what I'm wondering is whether someone pays the $90. I live in Germany, only a few people here would be willing to spend that much for it.
I would put an hrly cost on your CO2 laser. Say $75/hr so you have a fixed fee or rate that will pay for machine replacement while making money. Every machine should have a fixed hourly use rate that is used to pay for future machine replacement and wear and tear items. Enjoy your videos, keep them coming. I think that is a great item. I like idea of adding a logo for a business to them. Throw in a mug........... English Tea and sconce.....American Coffee and donut....all fit conveniently onto the little server, nice item. Check out popular marble tiling used in today's kitchens and make some in those popular ones, most prone to sell I would think. I think I would look at using same idea but go larger maybe round or oval and make an English Tea serving set that holds cup or two of tea, milk, sugar cup...................the English love their tea rituals.....
I couldn't afford either one, so I ordered the all in one "Wet Laser". It doesn't cut anything, it just makes pretty sparkly lights and gets everything wet. The kids love it, but it really pisses off the cat when the water part turns on.
@ awesome, I use a 90 degree square but that looked like it had some set screws or something to anchor it down to the bed and that is something I would be definitely interested in!
I would contact Thunder and ask what would be expected maintenance wise for your unit on a yearly basis. Then total cost of the unit with maintenance materials and include sales tax. Two thousand hours a year represents fifty weeks of five eight hour days. Total cost divided by two thousand hours should give you your hourly cost. The understanding is that the equipment is industrial grade. You then add your overhead and profit plus sales tax.
Maybe, you think differently, if you have machine. Machine cost and paying for electricity for the laser. He could ask hydro how they calculate cost of electricity per minute. Run time for laser.
Get in touch with Wild Wonderful Off-grid in WV. Erin and Josh Myers ... Nice family (3 kids). They're doing a DIY off grid a-frame house but the also started a high end cafe and a candle and coffee shop in Romney, WV. This might be a good collaboration.
@user-ei3ml8jo1s HUGE on-line mail order business and becoming a kind of destination/upscale cafe (Wild Roots Cafe & Co.) They're hard pressed to keep up with demand.
I have worked at places that had to use ($300K) waterjets. I say "had to" because that was the only way to machine certain materials. It was a last resort because the cost of using the waterjet was insane. The pumps have to be rebuilt after a short period of use. The machine went through consumables that cost a fortune to put it mildly. And the water has to be treated at a recycling facility which also cost quite a lot. These machine pumps will not last long and the real cost of making objects is not accurate.
Sam, this is just plain OUTSTANDING!!! I felt my heart rate increasing as the anticipation grew and grew. You have made a phenomenal video...and we thank you. I just can't say enough about the level of my appreciation and respect for what you've built--and continue to build in your workshop. Keep going up and up and up, sir! ~Dr. Larry S. Anderson • Tupelo, MS (birthplace of Elvis! -- y'all come!)
I'm not real sure there are many people out there willing to spend $20,000 for water jet and associated equip. And another $10,000 for a laser. If there are I hope they can find enough projects to sell for 9-10 times the cost of materials to pay for it.
18:16 To quantify the cost, you can install this Smart Power Outlets that calculate the wattage usage of any "appliance"/tool. and there are a bit more sophisticated yet cheap tools that integrate with some home assistant gadgets that can send that into a cloud and provide you with the wattage used, some AI can tell you the cost of running the machine. You don't even have to have one per machine, you can do a benchmark on each one and then extrapolate
@@brettgracey9682 , it was a demo not a thievery. He was merely showing how such a product can be made using machines that he has. Besides there is no patent on that design so anybody can make one.
None of that matters. The principal and approach are the point. You start with what you got and work up to better and better efficiency and capabilities as you go.
I’m curious, I used your link and saw the price of the water jet. Do you buy it or was it given to you ? I don’t personally know anyone that has a piece of equipment foe a hobby or home business that cost $18,000 dollars
"Let's pretend this is a spoon " but it was a spoon.😂 Also, as someone that used to design and handmake homewares, i don't like the fact you're going online to rip off someone elses design, and then selling it as your own for a ridiculous price.
bro 19k for that machine is NUTS!!!!!!! I can appreciate that you didnt pay anything for it, but its kinda insulting that this is made as an ad to viewers who are trying to make their own things with their own small business. YES it is cool, NO its not relevant and the approach is wrong I can respect the fact that youve lost the identity of the channel due to just the order sponsorships have came in... But dont insult your small business audience and risk them going into major debt for a machine they buy just because they see you make things you can sell for 90 bucks I miss the old sam who would take these things into consideration
At this high end market you have to get your product in front of people with that much to spend. Selective advertising in high end magazines seems an obvious route. Then you've got to play on cache, how desirable is the object (think high end marques) originality (is the product unique) or personalisation. As you strike out on the first two (save possibly stressing the made in US aspect) it's the personalisation that will sell the product. You're targeting self-centred people with more money than sense! Add a patriotic/Christian motto and i think you have a winner.
Great vid and Idea!👍but Sam, when we do luxury products you must remember to raise your pinky while you demo the product. 🤣🤣🤣
Haha I’ll try to remember that next time! 😉
If you can find someone to pay $90 for a coffee cup coaster that would be great, but I don't see that happening
Right I’m wondering if any have sold
People are paying $90 for a Stanley cup these days. I’m sure there’s somebody out there that will put it on a $90 coaster. 😅
If you look at the feedback for the product it was only showing feedback for other items in the store and the store itself only has 29 reviews. My guess is it hasn't sold any.

Love that cork product! Been looking for something like that for our MagSquares desk organization system.
The product description you brought up said it was a "set" of coasters, are you sure the price was for just one piece? They also had polished the countersunk cup holder, so you would have to add a polishing step to make an equivalent piece.
Great video Sam.
It’s really helpful when you take something from the developing the idea all the way to finish product
I appreciate it! I think seeing the process helps people realize what's involved, too.

I'm trying to figure that part out still. This was only my second time cutting with the machine. :)
Laser time cost? What’s the cost for a replacement laser tube then divide that by the expected life of the tube in hours.
I calculate buy the minute. Shop rate divided buy time on laser. Awesome video. Thanks.
I like that idea! I'll have to play around with that calculation and see where it gets me.
@Samcraftcom I struggled trying to price my laser time. This gives me a place to start and adjust from there. Easy math. Lol
Great job I had no idea that co2 laser could cut down into the marble.

The seller is selling a "set" of 6 for $90... not for 1. That's about $15 each.
❤
I can see how you would think that, but reading the listing closely there is never any mention of more than one item being sold.
I asked the seller on Etsy, Price is for just one piece, not a set of six.
Hello Sam, an interesting video, but what I'm wondering is whether someone pays the $90. I live in Germany, only a few people here would be willing to spend that much for it.
Would've your fiber laser worked a little faster than the CO2?
Any way to engrave that circle with a diode?
I doubt it... 30 minutes with a 100w CO2 laser would likely take forever with a diode if it could even be done.
Oh, Sam... "let's pretend this (a spoon) is a spoon."
I overlaid the real spoon footage (shot after that talking scene). :) I originally used a pen.
@Samcraftcom that's hilarious!
…”the dish ran away with the spoon…”. 😂
Make the coaster from a Corian type material vs. Marble
I would put an hrly cost on your CO2 laser. Say $75/hr so you have a fixed fee or rate that will pay for machine replacement while making money.

I think I would look at using same idea but go larger maybe round or oval and make an English Tea serving set that holds cup or two of tea, milk, sugar cup...................the English love their tea rituals.....
What are the use of these?
I've always wanted a laser cutter, and now I want a water one too 😅 but those things cost a lot, so I can't really justify it. Dang 🤔
I couldn't afford either one, so I ordered the all in one "Wet Laser". It doesn't cut anything, it just makes pretty sparkly lights and gets everything wet. The kids love it, but it really pisses off the cat when the water part turns on.
Where can I find that 90 degree fence for the Thunder?

I’m interested in this also
15:47 - "lets pretend this is a spoon"... i thought it was a spoon.... Im just messing with ya, good stuff!
There are a few tools out there to help you see if this will sell. Erank, Everbee, etc.
I would contact Thunder and ask what would be expected maintenance wise for your unit on a yearly basis. Then total cost of the unit with maintenance materials and include sales tax. Two thousand hours a year represents fifty weeks of five eight hour days. Total cost divided by two thousand hours should give you your hourly cost. The understanding is that the equipment is industrial grade. You then add your overhead and profit plus sales tax.
Forgot, great video!
Plus cost on investment of the machine as a percentage
Maybe, you think differently, if you have machine. Machine cost and paying for electricity for the laser. He could ask hydro how they calculate cost of electricity per minute. Run time for laser.
there is no way in hell i would buy that for 90$ and i can not sell a product that i myself would not buy for that price

I can respect the fact that youve lost the identity of the channel due to just the order sponsorships have came in... But dont insult your small business audience and risk them going into major debt for a machine they buy just because they see you make things you can sell for 90 bucks
I miss the old sam who would take these things into consideration
But be honest... This end product is not worth more than $ 5,00
Things like this can be found at dollar tree for even less.
but you're stealing someone else's design.
90 bucks for that, you gotta be out of your business sense mind.
At this high end market you have to get your product in front of people with that much to spend. Selective advertising in high end magazines seems an obvious route. Then you've got to play on cache, how desirable is the object (think high end marques) originality (is the product unique) or personalisation. As you strike out on the first two (save possibly stressing the made in US aspect) it's the personalisation that will sell the product. You're targeting self-centred people with more money than sense! Add a patriotic/Christian motto and i think you have a winner.
People buy expensive stuff all the time
💚
No one is paying $90 for that
No one's paying that.
so you are copying some one else's IP? interesting as i get chastised for this quite a bit.
how many have you sold?
