  • Come check out what I have been up to! I have had a wonderful opportunity [Sponsorship] to add wood tools to my business and it is a culmination of a many years dream for me that I never thought I would be able to achieve. This is just one of the xTool machines, they have a lot of different types and price ranges to check out if engraving is something you are interested in!
    NOTE: The Portable Laser Machine xTool F1 was sent to me for the purpose of review and I have an affiliate link with them, clicking on the link below and purchasing anything from them will benefit me and my association with them:

    Other Links just because it's important to shout out, these links are not affiliates but just purchases I have made myself:
    I bought a LOT of cut files from this amazing creator:

    I bought and use the Samcraft test files and cannot recommend testing every type of wood you use, game changer for me:

    I need to say this is the best video of the xTool F1 actually being used on UA-cam right now. I received my F1 a couple days ago and unpacked it all last night. I have owned an Aeon Laser 60W for about 4 years, but I love the small portable form factor of the F1. Again, fantastic job on the video! +1 sub

      Well thank you so much! I am glad that you enjoyed it! I have played a very little bit with a larger 55 watt and they are amazing, but there are things I really like about this small one, most especially the “framing” feature which makes it so precise to place things!

    I think what is pretty terrific is the DETAIL the laser can give...the blades of grass on my altar board tickle me. As a guinea pig purchaser of the wonderful lovely pieces I gotta say I dig this next adventure of yours. Enjoy the love of this!!!

      :D aw, the OG "gotta have them all" :* It is pretty amazing how detailed it can be on wood and I am guessing even more on metal, I just haven't gone too far down that road yet!

    Great vid, if you place the triangular prism with the fins pointing towards the fan you get a much better extraction of the fumes, it simply funnels them in the right direction.

    This was so much fun to watch! Retired art teacher here and I love how you are brainstorming ideas for this new engraver. I would love a Truth in Story fairy door made by you! I’ve wanted a fairy door for a long time. Will your designs be available at the new website? So excited for you Kelly!😍

      Aw thank you so much for taking the time to watch!! I will have Fairy Doors available on thetruthinstory.com, I just want to put together a little information sheet since I actually do believe in the fae and want to make doors respectfully :D Don't laugh!

      @orangelous 9 місяців тому

      Not laughing a bit! In fact, today I received a deck in the mail all about fairies. It’s an old one that I found used on Amazon but I must say it’s the most Fae deck I’ve encountered thus far! It’s The Fairy Pack by Claire Nahmad. What a treasure the pack is, especially the book that comes with it! They are my link with my ancestry and the old ways so respect is essential.@@TheTruthinStory

    If you put the cutting grid with the slats going front to back, the smoke goes out faster and more easily as well as helps with flare up

    This is awesome Kelly, I’ve been wanting to learn how to make ceramics so I can create my own tools & it never occurred to me this could be an option at home so this is so exciting! & its so small perfect for a home setting it would perfect to make some boxes for my alters & some really cool tarot boxes.
    Also your Grand child is going to have the coolest parents/Grandma!.
    & would be very happy to buy some Alter Salts from you in those beautiful jars 😊 & those fairy doors basically take all my money 😂😍

And I hope my grand peanut thinks we are cool lol, they may just think we are nerds :D BUT as we will be influencing them, they have little chance of not being a nerd as well :D I will definitely be getting some altar salts and fairy doors up!! Thank you so much for watching!!

    Kelly.. you are the Ms. Wizard of creativity!
    I love wood.. does this laser engraver allow you to add color into the wood etchings?
    For instance, if you are engraving onto a dark wood could color be added?
    Continue to keep the inspiration and creativity flowing!

      It completely depends on the type and thickness of wood, I realllly recommend doing the test cut/burn on any piece of wood that you are using! It is a pain but at the same once it is done, it helps so much!
