- In today's video Im going to transform a cheap hatchet I bought off Amazon into a custom engraved work of art using a fiber laser. I will utilize vector patterns, AI graphics, deep engraving, annealing, and color marking during the process!

Great work Justin, you’re a pro at compiling those AI images into a cohesive design very inspiring.
Thanks dude. Cant draw so I dont know where Id be without it lol
Magnifique. J’adore le rendu final
Thank you!
Amazing design! The split for the blade just worked out so well.
Thanks! I did a test without a split and it just didnt feel right.
Excited to see your boot camp, keep up the great content! 👍
Thanks man!
Great Tutorial!
Appreciate it!
They came out really nice, well done, and that black on them looks great too 😀
Appreciate it. Needed the black.
Excited for your course Justin!
Thanks! Im buckling down on that starting today.
Great video! Thanks for all the tips.
Thank you appreciate it!
Sick! Makes me really want to get a fiber laser.
Theyre the best!
Very cool! Something to try out in my new fiber laser. Thanks for the info!
Thanks for watching!
Wow! Looks great!
*Looks Cool!!!*
Appreciate it my man
Great tutorial, thanks for the settings. I’m new to fiber lasers and just got a 100w, it’s hard to find a good starting point for settings when you’re new to it
Awesome work thank you for sharing!!!
Thank you!
great work
That's Awesome!!! 👍👍👍
Thanks Richard!
Fiber Laser Ignite…oh yeah! I have a 50W JPT w/ lenses that I hardly use, can’t wait for your program to go live!
Any chance you can point me in the direction of that scroll vector pattern?
Its part of this scroll bundle (www.fragoutdesign.com/product-page/ultimate-scroll-bundle). Not cheap but the nicest scrolls Ive ever come across.
I find similar art when I look for "laurel leaves" in royalty free artwork sources.
@@justinlaserThat's cool that you found the nicest!
Абсолютно фантастический топор! ❤
Was waiting for this episode
Like even before watching
Haha thanks! Now I have to do the wood handle...
To maximize color mark would be useful defocus 2mm and offset 0,5 mm inside vector graphics
Dude your channel is gonna start taking off
Thanks! That would be awesome if it did.
Could we get a tutorial for how you added the colored areas on the blade in illustrator?
Where did you get that scrollwork?
is that plate you are using between the aluminum laser bed and the axe magnetic? if so, where did you get it?
Great! Interested in course. Been struggling with picking a fiber laser. What model/power did you purchase? Thanks.
Highly recommend what I bought from OMG Laser (www.omglaser.com/products/fiber-laser-engraving-machine/). I have a 60w MOPA but it can be done with less power if needed. If you reach out tell them Justin sent you for $100 off your laser.
That "Goofy Shape" is for lug nuts. That cut out allows the hatchet to act like a wrench.
Can you share the hatchet template ?
Great work, You should get a Patreon account. My F1U arrives Monday and my focus will be on my knives.
Looks amazing, great job. Is annealing enough to protect against rusting or did you seal it ?
I coated with some WD40 afterwards just in case
@ thanks for the info 👍🏼.
Any chance you could share the price of that fiber laser?
Where can we buy Patterns?
Sorry if you have already answered this question, Just wondering if you where using ur F1 Ultra in this video
Will the class cover the F1 Ultra?
Some of it would translate but the F1 Ultra will have to be its own thing. I would love to do one but I want to wait until the software updates settle down a little bit. They change the interface a lot and I dont want my course to be outdated as soon as its released.
Any suggestions on what types of fiber lasers to get to do the deep engraving on metal or stone like everyone seems to do with F1 Ultra?
It seems you can get more power and engrave size cheaper if you go with a standalone fiber laser?
Also, have you done any content with a UV laser? Can it do deep engraves?
(Sorry, still fetting in to lasers and only have a diode I'm trying to learn on, but quickly realizing for my intended uses, wouldve been much better off going with a different technology, but don't know enough to know exactly which ones would cover tha most of my uses.)
If money was no object or I could moneyize it, I'd get and try them all and conpare for myself. Diode, fiber, CO2, UV and any others. 😂
what graphics programs did you use besides light burn?
Adobe Illustrator
Any chance of getting this file?
The outline I could give away but I dont own the rights to the scroll pattern background its something I bought from someone else.
@ That would be awesome if you don’t mind.
How did u do a frequency of 95? XCS only let's me go to 60
Lmao nvm thought that was the F1 ultra!
How many Watts did your laser have?
60w
@@justinlaser Can you recommend an affordable laser? Or better yet, a mopa?
@@justinlaser Answer please 🙂
Make art not ai again.
I shall do both
the future is now, old man
