Very nice video presentation. Honest and precise. Thank for the files and keep those demos coming.
Love the Vice Grip Garage hat! Derek would be proud.
Roger, thank you very much for the LB files.
Great detailed videos for my S9 first-time laser projects. Thank you.
I enjoy your videos as they are very descriptive , for us beginner users, thanks for taking the time to make them
You are a true gentleman for allowing us to have these files for free!😁🛫
I love them all, I'm learning so much thank you x
Love your videos. I finally did my first project. Thank you for the file.
love seeing a fellow Vice Grip fan
Bought a Atomstack Lasercutter / engraver a few days ago. Thank you for this interesting, helpful video and the free download layer :) Greetings from germany !
Thank you kind sir. Your videos are very helpful to me as a beginner.
Nice thanks for the files also!
Thanks for the file and the helpful video.
Thank you so much for teaching us the ropes subscribed and looking forward to learn so

My husband was looking at various peoples channels and I noticed that you had mentioned problems with warping wood. You can fix this problem by (soaking in water or spray water or steam it)for several minutes and then let it rest absorbing the water. Then you wrap it in plain paper, then place it on a level surface with weights on top until dry. I have done this for wooden antiques that you would think had to be thrown away. It works well and can save your things. This can also help you bend the wood for your projects. I would experiment and see what you can create. As an example those beautiful a chairs that Eames designed with bent plywood.
Thank you Roger for this beginner projects demo! Informative!
I liked and sub'd
You have a new subscriber! By the way, nice workshop I am jealous.
Thank you roger im just staring with lasers and this saved my bacon
Thank You for the files. I'm new at this and any help is apricated
Playlist, thanks, binge watching after midnight.
No Strings Attached lol that cracked me up, who doesn't love a good dad joke (6:40) Good job good video, keep up the good work...
I had to shrink mine way down because none of the Dollar Trees around me had the size used in your project. Worked out great, though. 😊 Thanks!
Nice video! i love it! I recommend using the Monport laser, known for its precision and versatility. With Monport laser, you can create intricate designs on multiple layers, adding depth and complexity to your laser-cut signs or woodworkings.
Thank you
Excelente idea, saludos desde Perú
awesome video.
You have a new sub Roger ❤
Seen other chs use the accelerator. Was looking for some today in the shop. I will skip that till I have some practice.
Good project Roger and excellent explanation of the layers. I love using Dollar Tree wood for testing and simple stuff like ornaments. One thing I've heard (and do) is with 220 grit sand paper touch up (with the grain) the wood to get a smooth surface. I think I may have heard that sanding tip from you or maybe Rich from The Louisiana Hobby Guy in another video I watched.
Second thing. Have you tried spray adhesive? I have a can and may try it. Lay the upper layer face down on some parchment paper and give it a good two pass shot. After waiting a few seconds you can place it on the lower layer, put a clean parchment sheet on top and add a weight that covers the entire project.
Thanks for the files. I'm going to head over to your site and download them.
3M 77 spray adhesive also works well, but can be a little messy, depending on the parts. On large layered projects, I use the 77. On smaller things, I prefer CA glue.
I'd like to give this a shot, but cannot file the LB files.. Can you shed some light on it? Great vid too.
I really appreciate you offering theses files to us for free. I was unable to download them because I kept getting an error message even though I filled out the form properly. Any suggestions?
Hi Roger, great job helping us newbees. Where do I get files that are ready to cut or at least able to make redy to cut. Thanks
Link to files for this project are in the video description. For others, you will need to shop around. Designbundles.net can be one source, but most are not free.
Is that honeycomb steel, you could use some magnets as locators for the different layers. Save framing each time.
This one is not. It is aluminum. My others are steel and I do use magnets frequently. But, I still always frame. Cheap insurance.
👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍
Congratulations, looks beautiful. Which font did you use for the caption?
A modified stencil font.
WHAT glue do you use?
Thanks for the video Roger. What kind of glue are you using to adhere the layers together?

Hi, Love your tutorials, wanted to try the Welcome Sign, but I am from UK so no option to change country in the billing section on your website. So cannot download the files to try it out in Lightburn. Are these downloads just for the US.?
email me at roger@moonshinecrafts.com and I will send them to you. The restriction on the website is so that physical items can only be shipped to USA address. Have not figured out a way to separate from virtual items.
Where can I fine the lightburn files for this project? Nice job!

Hi Roger I'm a bit confused, so sorry for the newbie question, from the layers tab you had two, the one for the ornamental design and one for the word welcome, both at line mood
At 10:16 you said it does the "line engrave" first and the "cut" second. Shouldn't the cut have its own tab? Where am I making the mistake many thanks ❤
The engrave is the first layer. The cut is the second layer. Always do an engrave before a cut.
Hey! Just curious, how long did it take to complete cut/engrave this project. Just wondering how long that process actually takes. Thanks!
Depends on material thickness, and option of graphic. The most complex with engrave and cut on 1/4" plywood is 58 minutes. Base layer, about 10 minutes.
Great video! Are the files still available? Went to the link but couldn't find the files download.

@@rogersshop Thankyou. Brand new in this and am starting out with the Ortur Laser Master 3.
Hello, if i have enclosure for laser, where would be a good place to add air assistant? Outside the box ?
I keep my air pumps outside the enclosure. Mostly due to space issues.
Hello, I subscribed to your page after watching this tube on the welcome sign. I really want to try making this though I'm new to lasers. I have a Atezr L2 24Watt laser with extensions and air assist. You said you would leave a link to the free design of this Welcome sign. I looked below this UA-cam and I could not find that link or another method to get that design. I went to your page with links to all of your UA-cams but could not find it there either. Can you help me find that Welcome sign design?

I’ve been looking for a way to ask a question. Can I cut 3mm mdf with my d1 10w laser. I found setting of 350 mm/m @ 100% power 1 pass. Does this make sense to you
Yes, and maybe.....MDF can be finicky, depending on the manufacturer and sometimes differ in density from maker to maker. Your starting point sounds good, but run some tests to see if scorching is an issue. If so, try a faster speed, but two passes.
My laser is brand new, it was quiet the first few uses but now the bearings or motor screeches when I run it, it’s when it’s moving. I know its not the laser, any tips?
Should not do that. Check that belt tension is not too tight. also, try to identify where it is coming from. Does it do it on both X and Y axis? Or just one? Could also be a loose sprocket (pulley) on a stepper motor.
just the x axis where the laser is, I'm pretty sure it's coming from the timing belt pully inside the housing that I can't see. I've tried both loosening and tightening if I loosen it anymore the teeth don't catch. the higher the speed the louder it is of course.@@rogersshop
Is any of this done in inches for those of us in the USA.
Dimensions are in inches. Speed is in mm/min, which is the most common use for diode lasers. mm/sec is used mostly with IR and CO2. The metric system is not difficult, as it is base/10 and is easy to learn if new at it.
Roger I got the b1 longer laser put together tried to frame a project keeps coming up out bounds any suggestions?
Assuming Lightburn, make sure the work area settings match you laser. Also, make sure the limit stop screw is in the right hole according the the wattage head you have. And last, work from Absolute Coordinates rather than Current Position or User Origin.
Thanks Roger. Did you get the packages I sent you?@@rogersshop
@@174859607 Yes.
TY
Up And Running
nice video, but I don't use lightburn.... so I guess I'm outa luck.
where did u buy the playwood?
Dollar Tree often has shapes of 1/8" plywood large enough for most projects. Otherwise, Home Depot has 4' x 8' sheets.
Roger how do I get your pattern so I can do this project with you
In the video description
Which type of sheets used here?
1/8" plywood from Dollar Tree
is lightburn better than grbl?
IMHO, YES. Like comparing a Corvette to a Yugo.
will this cut through acrylic and leather?
Dark acrylic, yes. leather, yes. Clear or white acrylic, no.
@@rogersshop what’s the difference between the white and black? You think it would do colored sheets of acrylic?
@@TheMrstambaugh The lighter the color, the less effective a diode laser will cut or engrave. Once it becomes clear, it will not work at all. A CO2 laser is best for clear or light colors such as white.
Where do I click to download a project?
moonshinecrafts.com/product-category/laser-project-downloads/
You missed the bit telling us where you got the designs from or how you made it. Without that information, this video is impossible to follow along.
Design file is available as a free download. How it was made and the design would be a different subject and would be a separate video. This video is intended for the beginner and is made as less-complex as possible.
@@rogersshop I get that but this is the first video I've watched of yours which inspired me about a beginner subject I'm just getting into. It's missing the information I need to make my first project. A bit like a bricklaying course without bricks.
A link to the resources where I could get said bricks would have been useful at that point, I could at least follow along with your video

Hello! I don't really understand why you are sharing my work for free. What is the justification here, because I don't really understand this situation? I would suggest changing your approach and retracting your offer with my work. You are violating copyright.
The file I am basing this from was downloaded from one of those free laser files sites quite a while back as a JPG and was converted to SVG for the project. I was under the impression that the file was in the public domain as I do not use copyrighted material. Please email me at raltman57@gmail.com
Now I’m going to personally look and distribute that specific item you mention for free… Good day

This was a couple years ago, so don't remember. If it is indeed yours, tell me WHERE you sell it and I will provide the link to it in the description. i am skeptical as I recently had a copyright claim on a photo used on my website of MY OWN HOUSE.

Rediculous unnecessarily long intro. Worse than vertical video
Thank's Roger...😀
