Nice tip on the golf tees
GREAT IDEAS!!🤓
Great tips! Golf tees, brilliant!
Right! I love how cheap and easy those are to use, super helpful.
Plenty of great little upgrade ideas! I didn’t even think about the little toolbox. I’ll be picking up a couple soon now lol
@@MetalanGrain awesome! Ya they are so handy. I just need to get my decked out already lol
@ I’ve seen ppl put leatherette engraver inside the top to customize it and it looks great
Great tips. Definitely going to adopt a couple of these to improve productivity, thanks!
Awesome love to hear that!
Awesome content! Thank you for taking the time to create this video. I really need to pick up one of those tool boxes.
@@TheExtremeElementz your so welcome! Thanks for tuning in!
Some good tips, especially the material samples tray idea. Thank you for sharing.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching!
Great info. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
I have the toolbox (non engraved…yet) I 3d printed some drawer liners for it for screws and stuff. The golf tee standoffs are a great idea
3D printers are so freaking cool! I need to get one! Which one do you have?
@ I have several but it is hard to beat the Bambu Lab A1 as a first printer.
Great Video!!!
Thanks for watching!
Cool ideas. Can you link us to Laser Lounge? All that I can find is layering for skin care.
Added the link in the description. The group is great and full of a ton of people putting out great projects. Definitely want to go join.
Oh, I had recently the same idea for the magnet positioning, as I used painters tape to mark, but that is not the perfect option., I thought long rectangle magnets would be great and I just got them two days ago from Aliexpress., glad to know you consider it is helpful, I haven't had the time to try the idea! I think all your ideas are very clever, those focusing tools you made are very helpful. I have to get one of those penlights, for vinyl peeling they should be helpful as well.
The rectangle magnets are my favorite. The are great for holding down leather/leatherette sheet. You will love using them for positioning over tape, I used to use tape before and the magnets are so much easier to use plus you don't have to waste tape. The single size focus tools are my favorite they make focusing so simple.
@@WyldeWillow Yes, tape stuck to the honeycomb helps but it lifts up and sometimes the wood or the card I need to cut goes underneath it and sticks to it and it is a nightmare! I used round magnets for flatening papers that I cut or that I use asa gig, and sometimes I have the problem to pick those magnets up,, as they are strongly magnetized. I discovered a trick to make it easier and it is, precisely, painters tape! I wrap the magnet with a simple strip of painters tape leaving a tab on one side and that is the tab I use to pull from them and be able to pick them more easily, specially if they are very flat.
This video came up in my feed and I was skeptical but, you have some really good tips! Thanks. Also, wanted to ask about tip #4. Is that felt or soft sided velcro?
Thank you. It's felt, I had some laying around so I used that but honestly I think the soft side of velcro would work as good maybe ever better.
The toolbox is way better looking than the tuperware drawers Im using. I also have a toolbox to hold my laser jigs. Im sure there are a lot of solutions for storing those according to their size. Or maybe creating the larger ones in a locking puzzle fashion so they store easier.
I love the tool box but trust me I still have a ton of Tupperware and Rubbermaid bins that hold all kinds of stuff. It's my goal to eventually get rid of all them by making different storage solutions. Most all my jigs I made the same size so it helps with storage but they are currently just tucked in a corner in the closet in my office. I need to come up with a better idea. Thinking about making some drawers in my work bench that will hold them but I like them standing up so I can flip through them and none are buried at the bottom of a drawer.
You’re just so rad
