Tnx a lot, I just got my first engraver & laser cutter, and this video helped me a looot with my first "project" :). Tnx, tnx, tnx
They look great!! Let the grandkids paint them.
Thank you, great idea.
Very nice
Thank you very much. I’m glad that you like them
Nicely done! No paint, can’t get any better than the natural look.
Thank you very much!
You do a fantastic job on painting. I could learn a lot from you. I think it adds character
Thank you very much. I’m glad that my videos are helping you.
GREAT VIDEO THANX.
Glad you enjoyed it. You’re very welcome
Thnk you for such a clear and detailed explanation/ demonstration of how to do this.
Awesome! I’m glad that it helped you. You’re welcome
Very nice, I also like the unpainted look. The shadowing effect is perfect. Thanks for sharing all the info.
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Wonderful and educational video! Thanks!
You’re very welcome. Thank you very much
I really like the ornaments you made. They are great!
Thank you so much!
Oh look there's Santa 🎅Fox🦊
Thank you for the tips. New to this and you helped Mr to understand it better. ❤️
You’re very welcome. I hope you stick around as I have 100’s of videos to help you.
Thanks for this nice tutorial!
Thank you very much
Great ornaments. One thing that kind of baffles me is - where is all the smoke?
Smoke in my shop is not an issue. My shop is well ventilated plus I have exhaust fans as needed
This is gorgeous! Merry Christmas
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Great job, thanks for sharing your expertise
Thank you very much
Another excellent video, I bid you and your family a Merry Xmas
Thank you very much. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Thanks Paw Paw, more great info. I am learning a lot. I appreciate the effort. Merry Christmas!
You’re welcome. Merry Christmas to you and your family
These are jam up!! I've been trying to figure out a way to do this. Now I know!! Thanks!! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Glad I could help. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I love it!
Awesome, thank you very much
Great video, love that laser. Merry Christmas!
Thank you
Great job as usual!
Thank you very much
have a marry christmas too my god bless you happy new year too
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Oops! Looks like you forgot to join (weld or cut) the holly leaf on the left of the ornament in the design.
Noted: Corrected for the actual engraving.
Editing is amazing tool. Thank you
I like your videos.I have learned a lot but I have trouble assigning layers. Can you help me? I think the natural look is the best.
To assign layers in Lightburn, simply just select the area or line that you want and then at the bottom of the page select the color. The color is the establishes the layer.
Very nice, you make it look so easy!! You think my ORTUR master 2 could do this cut ?
Love watching your videos.
Happy Holidays 🎅
Thank you, Yes, I believe your ORTUR will do this as well. You may need to adjust the settings. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Merry Christina
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Great video! Just thinking, the painted ones look nice but also look like a lot of work, you could use your engraving part as a template and cut out similar colored parts and use as a template to paint. Like for the Santa you could cut out the beard and part of his hat that is white and just paint using the cutout for a template!
Thank you very much
You have a really nice selection of pictures for your Christmas ornaments, could you share them or tell us where you got them?
Most images come from Google
Hi! Great project. What thickness is the plywood you are using and where do you get it from? Link would be great. Thanks.
This is about 1/8" or about 3mm. You can get this usually at any hobby or craft store. I assume it would be available on Amazon as well.
@@PawPawsWorkShop thank you!
Beautiful, what is the size in inches of the wood???
This is about and 1/8" thick plywood
Great little project 👍, I hope to get back into the workshop again soon and make some videos for my own channel. I had been considering adding a cnc to my channel but not sure I can justify the investment 🤔
Good afternoon I was just wondering about the speed of you machine. I was making a ornament and it is saying it takes 12 hours but yours says 16 min. Why is yours so much quicker? Thanks
Are you cutting the outline or is it set to cut a pocket?
Question.. On the ornaments that you cut out parts (like the candy cane )... What if you put the ornament In a jig and etch the front and then flip it over in the jig and flip the image as well in lightburn and etched just the flipped picture of the candy cane on the back.. If you get the position correct, you'll end up with a double sided ornament instead of a single sided one.. What do you think? Maybe you do this already? Or maybe it's too much trouble? Just a thought I wanted to share.. Merry Christmas!
Yes you can do that. Just take you time to set it up carefully.
What type of wood did you use? What is the best laser for the money?
This was birch plywood. .125” thick. There are some excellent lasers on the market. I will be doing a side by side comparison
Thank you for this nice project ….is the power not to high (95%) for a good and long lifetime of the Laser ? Would it not better to reduce the power and make some extra rounds ?
👋🏿🤔
Merry Christmas to you 👋🏿😎
Good morning! Always enjoy your content!
Do you have a Machine/Model recommendation of a stand-alone laser engraver/cutter to produce the ornaments in this video? I do not want to tie up my X-Carve by adding a laser to it.
I like the FOXAlien Reizer 20 watt and the Maga for larger projects. Also, the Scupfun S9. Looks good. Hopefully will be testing that one soon
@@PawPawsWorkShop Thank you for the response! after reviewing, I did order the FOXAlien Reizer Maga 20 watt. For appreciation of all your helpful content, I joined your Patrion page.
Could you leave outline as is and then Boolean it to the outside ring thus welding the selections together? Trying to learn. Thanks for vids.
Do you mind posting the link of the material you cut? I’m not sure which one to use
3mm works fine for these. You can get it at Amazon, hobby lobby, Michael’s
What material are you cutting? What were your settings? I have the xtool diode laser 20 watts
This is 1/8” plywood. The best settings are achieved by running a test grid
Just wondering whether is there a file that i can download pattern where I can download what you just done thanks
How do i load things into my library?
Yes I have it set to line. I have a fox alien laser are there specific settings that I need to do in light burn to speed the process up. I noticed a lot of your project are pretty quick. Mine take several hours. I have looked over it for hours trying to figure it out so I was just wondering if there are settings that I need to change to speed things up. Thanks a lot
Nice work Paw Paw. Can you provide me with the name of your air assist unit and your source since I could use one on my laser machine. Much appreciated and a Merry Christmas to you.
It’s the FOXAlien air assist. I have an affiliate link in the description to their website
Nicely done, looks like lightburn has had several enhancements since I last saw it. Lots more drawing tools. Will it save SVG/PNG files to transfer to CNC too? These would look great carved with 20° bit giving fine highlight details, as I don't have a laser ... Yet .
.. Santa Fox 🎅🦊.. Is it too late to ask?
Yes, a lot of nice features, I have not tried to save SVG and go to the CNC. You need to tell Santa to get a laser for you
@@PawPawsWorkShop I've tried a few hints 😉🎅🦊
Great video Paw Paw. I have a jTech 14w diode and would like to try these. What kind of plywood and thickness are you using? I may have missed it but didn't hear you mention that.
This is just 3mm plywood. This was from Amazon. You can get this from craft stores also
@@PawPawsWorkShop that worked out great! Thank you! One more question if I may. What do you use to clean up the cut edges where it has the soot? I don’t want to make smudges from it on my fresh ornament
You can take painter tape and put it on the edge. Also, seal the wood.
Great video. Was the cut through done all in one pass or multiple?
It was done in 3 passes however 2 passes was all that was necessary
thanks. very impressive. I see on FB some people have to make 5 or 6 passes.
Nice video! How did you color in the ornaments? I will have to re-watch this a few times!
Use paint pens. They work great for small details
@@PawPawsWorkShop thanks! My wife likes to do that kind of thing
Is the J Tech Laser strong enough to do this as well?
I have had very little success cutting the plywood. The pro version may be able to cut the plywood
"hover and hit teet"?
Merry Christmas
👍👍👍👌
Thank you very much
@@PawPawsWorkShop Sama2 🙏☺
Nice video. PLEASE stop saying GO AHEAD. It's not necessary to say GO AHEAD in every sentence. Sorry, I just find it very distracting..Thanks
Sorry you found this disturbing. Hopefully, you learned a little or maybe you just did not need any information. Hopefully, somewhere on UA-cam you found what you were looking for. Oops, I’ve said hopefully three times in four sentences. Merry Christmas
Enjoy your videos, but is there some reason you start almost all of your sentences with the word “now”? It’s rather off-putting.
I’ll work on it now. Lol. Thank you
