Dude, I can't even imagine how much you have wrapped up in equipment! I'd say it's a real testament to what hard work and sheer determination gets you. The new machine looks awesome, and I'm looking forward to what kinds of product you can put out with this thing! Your excitement is definitely evident in the video...congrats man!
D. FRESH. 750 14k for the melco machine
Hey Lee, I found you a few days ago and I've been youtubing screenprinting for almost 2 years now, I got my equipment about a year ago, it's not as elaborate as your setup, but for an initial investment I have a little over 5 gs into FoE Apparel. I am disabled and taking this slowly, (more like as fast as I can, but slowly in comparison to people like you, I've spent a huge portion of this time in recovery) But, I'm about to start hitting it hard, I just wanna say man I can SEE the love and dedication you put into your shop, and I'm super proud of you for making it happen. I can see your so stoked on the embroidery machine, congratulations man you mentioned embroidery a ton before getting this thing. I've been binging you and I can see the massive change in the last 2 (ish) years. KEEP HITTING IT HARD I love your quality shit. I'll end up getting a shirt or something from you just cuz I love your gear. I spent a huge portion of my life behind handlebars, then I broke my back, and now I'm trying fashion man, screenprinting is already a passion for me. Sorry for the long comment I just wanted to say, you have taught me ALOT ALOT and I appreciate you. I wish I had a basement instead of a garage, but hey my garage is alright. PS I love Bob's Burgers
-Ryan FoE Apparel
Super cool to hear this stuff helps in any way man, thank you. You're taking a step in the right direction no matter how fast or slow it goes, just keep pushing forward and making shit happen. Good luck dude! 👊🏻
I have a Melco bravo that I bought back in 2016 brand new and I'd say this is the most reliable machine u can buy.I've done thousands of hats with it and ZERO issues.Finger crossed
Hell ya that's good to hear, can't wait to run this thing
@@leestuart38 If you have Package C, you don't have to send out the design for digitizing, the design shop pro can digitize. If you need any help with the machine, just shoot me an email. akarim909@gmail.com
Love to see your excitement about the new machine. I am a melco tech and trainer out of Houston. I can’t wait to see what you have in mind with embroidery. Multimedia is a cool way to change up the look. I am very happy for you. You have a new subscriber.
Thanks a lot, can't wait to see what me and this thing can do 🤘🏻
Been watching your videos for a long time man to see the progress you have made is very inspirational. Congrats on everything man and even bigger congrats on the new melco, that’s a big bad ass machine! Can’t wait to see the products that come out of that bad boy!
Thanks a lot man. This thing is gonna be a game changer
Congrats Lee I can’t wait to see ya’ll tackle this I got the popcorn ready LOL
Thanks! Can't wait 🤘🏻
popping some right now ! :P
Seriously this is awesome. Like you I ran into the same issue here, just the run around so I said hrck with it and started my own , been 5 months in and hard ass work but so satisfying just bought a 6 by 6 color manual and a flash dryer all by way of customers and family support. Thank you for the inspiration brother.
Happy to hear that man, good luck and keep killing it 🤘🏻
@@leestuart38 thank you brother
Congratulations!! I love my Melco Amaya XT - twelve years and still going strong.
Thanks! I've heard great things about that machine from a friend who has one, happy to be a part of team melco 🤘🏻
@@leestuart38 I brother do u need embroidery designer ?
Dude, I have been waiting for this day since you started on this path 2 years ago! So excited to see what you crank out of this thing!
So stoked! I've got a lot of designs and cool ideas in my head for this thing
I can't wait to watch you flatten the learning curve. You've got a great attitude! I've been doing machine embroidery and digitizing for 12 years.
Thanks a lot! It'll take me some time to get into it but I can't wait to learn everything I can about it
Dude I’ve been following you in this channel since you started printing your own shirts. I am very happy to see you add another investment to your brand. I once printed my shirts for my own brand and you’re right about the embroidery machine: IT IS THE DREAM SINCE DAY 1. Keep hustlin’ man, can’t wait what magic you’ll make using the machine 👌🏻
Thanks a lot, this is a game changer for me 🤘🏻
Congrats bro, been watching since the shop build video and its amazing all you've achieved! Looking foward to watching the new stage in the channel 🔥🔥
Thanks man. Been working hard to build this thing up over the years, the foundation for the end goal is here now 🤘🏻
Dude congrats! You're one of the guys i look up to when it comes to printing. Stay safe in this pandemic, man 👌🔥
Thanks a lot man 👊🏻
I’m excited with and for you!! Mine shipped yesterday! This video got me more hype!!! IM SO EXCITED!!!
You'll love it, congrats. I'm just getting into learning this thing and it's super cool
you're video editing is crazzzzyyy!!! Wow & Welcome to team Melco!!!
Thanks!
Are all the attachments in both angela and your videos included with the machine or are they add ons? Do you need to have an LLC to purchase this machine?
@@Factory928AC Most are included, just the fast clamp and XL hoop are extras I believe. You don't need any sort of LLC to buy one either. If you're interested in one, contact info for my guy is in the description, he'll get you sorted out.
Awesome!!! Congratulations Lee! Your journey has been inspiring to watch. Keep it up brother! 🤟🤟
Thanks so much 🤘🏻
Excited for you bro!! When it comes to screen printing no one is putting out quality videos on this scale like you are, keep killing it!!!
Thanks a lot! Hope to do the same with the wide format and embroidery once I get the hang of things 🤘🏻
I can see it, you're going to make it big in the next few years. You're the reason I started my own clothing business.
Hell ya man, cool to hear. Hard work and dedication will make anything as big as you want it to be
Bought 6 of these in January for our embroidery business. Took some getting used to but they are working flawlessly now.
The business that you’re doing is exactly what we are building towards. Right now we are just embroidery but we want to add screen printing, patches, etc. keep rocking it man.
When you kick ass in the daily, things line up for you 🤙🏼
Pretty pumped to see what's coming
Same here, this is a game changer 🙌🏻
@@leestuart38 good things coming 👌🏽
We started from scratch just like you and while it has taken a little longer to get our shit together we have taken a lot of inspiration from your setup including the same black and white workshop setup (but in our garage), well it used to be my garage its now our production studio.
Just saw your latest upload once again you have inspired us, we were looking at expending into 'in house' embroidery and by the look of it the Melco EMT16 plus is the way to go.
Cant wait to see more.
Super cool to hear that. Embroidery is a massive asset to any print setup, I can't wait to see where this goes
Hahahaha oh that fog fart made me laugh so hard. Glad I'm not the only person who would have done that.
Very cool to see you grow! I will be waiting for these awesome videos.
Haha that's still funny to me. Thanks man!
Nice man.
Ive been printing for a little over a year now and you're one of the guys I've been following
Glad to see you hitting your goals
Thanks a lot man, been working real hard at making them happen. Good luck with yours 🤘🏻
I worked for an embroidery shop that worked on the road going horse show to horse show. I miss doing it. It’s very time consuming because the machines (especially a single head unit) can only go so fast but when your customers see the finished product it’s so satisfying
Somebody is always at the National Western Stock Show in Denver. Love it
Congratulations dude keep on doing what you love 🤘🤘can't wait to see what you come up with
Thanks a lot
Damn Lee!! Super Proud Man!! I remember when you first started ThirtyEight and then Rogue Labs. Look at you now my friend!! Congratulations!!
Thanks a lot dude! Slowly building this shit up one day at a time 🤘🏻
Started following you a few moths ago and Wow, i'm really impressed!
You give me really much inspiration to continue my own business.
Thank you for what you're doing!
Cheers from Sweden.
That's awesome, thank you! Glad to hear these videos are helping in any way
Yeah, buddy! Super stoked for you. That's my next piece of equipment. I'm still a bit hesitant to pull the trigger. Keep it up brother!
Can't wait to fire it up and see what it can do, I already know this is going to be a big deal to have in here. Thanks man 👊🏻
Hey Scott. If you have any questions on the machine feel free to reach out. My information is up in the about section.
-Josh
Awesome man! You've built a solid, high quality platform. Still loving your videos. You keep me motivated with my dreams. Keep grinding! You da man!
Thanks a lot man, happy to hear that 👊🏻
That’s so fire bro congrats man love to learn new equipment!
Thanks a lot!
Yo that’s dope, I watch your channel a lot. Thanks for the help man fucking awesome how you keep stepping up in the game!
Thanks a lot dude, always pushing for more 👊🏻
OMG!! YOU GOT A MELCO! DUDE!! Best choice in my opinion.
Hell ya it is!
Congrats, I know you have been waiting aloooooooog time for this!!!
Thanks! I'm so excited to get going with it
Bad Ass!!! You're freakin awesome!! Haha I'm friends with Josh and told him I know why you guys are buddies, lol Congrats on the machine!!
Haha josh is awesome. He makes a pretty long appearance in the new video coming today. Thanks!
Congrats man, looking forward to seeing what you wind up creating!!!
Thanks man, can't wait to see where this goes now
Best unboxing video ever. This old lady just got her first single needle embroidery machine recently (guess that's why you showed up in my feed) and was almost as excited. But I watched the whole damn thing even though I will never buy one of those beasts.
Thanks so much! That means I've made a video that definitely doesn't suck haha, mission accomplished
Congratulations on the melco ... I looked at these when purchasing...
I didn't go with melco in the end.
The key I found was a good digitizer... I didn't have the time to do it myself (I wanted to) ...
I am happy with the one i use but there is lots of cowboys out there ...
Great channel .. i have learned lots ...
Stay safe ...
Digitizing is always overlooked, but it's the main factor between a good a bad product. I've got a great place up here in Canada that will be taking care of it for me, and I'll be learning how to do it as well so I can make adjustments if needed
@@leestuart38 I couldn't agree more ... I am glad that you have some where/one ... it took me a while to find the right one for me ...
I must get 2 to 3 emails a day from different digitizers saying they can do this or that and most of the time they are not good ...
Ride safe ...
The harder you work the luckier you get
You have sure made the above true...
Best of luck to you in the future ...
Awesome edit bro loved the b roll ha amazing piece of equipment 👌👏 been amazing watching you grow since the start to awesome you did it really fast it seems that red anodized though ha keep Killin it boss man excited for the future
Just pushing every single day to grow and advance, I'm willing to work harder than the next guy to make my vision a reality 🤘🏻. Thanks dude
🤟🏽 way to go Lee! Goals! Can't wait for the learning vids
Thank you! Super stoked to have this thing
Awesome~ this shit will make you have more fun when making caps, THIS IS THE STUFF~
jumped on this video as soon as i saw it ! Love your vids man
Thanks!
Congratulations again bro! Really killer this whole time working!
Thanks man!
I don’t know how missed this one. “I’ve collected all the Pokémon.” 😂 Great analogy considering you’ve still got to train and evolve them. (This is my limited knowledge from having a 7 and 11yr old.) Here’s a congratulatory middle finger for making us all jealous of your new toys.
Awesome to see a guy getting so excited over a sewing machine! lol Congrats on the embroidery machine...you be been wanting one for ever!!! Hope it can do 3-D embroidery...those machines are insanely cool!
I'm so pumped on this thing, and it's a beast at 3D stuff. I can't wait to learn how to do it!
@@leestuart38 Awesome! Cant wait to see what you do with it!
Congratulations Lee, that’s good shit. Can’t wait to see the first job.
Thanks man, so pumped to see the first run of stuff come out
Nice ending! 🤣🤣🤣 Love you videos. Trying to start up my business and your videos really motivate me.
Awesome to hear that! Good luck
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Congrats man!! I hope to make it to your staple of business, you and print life, mikey's channel have motivated me and taught me. Thank y'all and congrats again!!💯🙏🏽💪🏽🔥
Glad to hear this stuff helps out, thanks man 🤘🏻
@@leestuart38 No Thank You for all the wisdom and honestly helping me feel comfortable in making mistakes, I also ride so that's why I also felt inclined to sub and watch your channel too. Hope to open a bike shop here where i live.
looks great.. glad you got someone to partner up with on this and glad it was someone you really really wanted.. looking fwd to what you come up with. cheers.
Thanks a lot dude 🤘🏻
Congratulations on the new embroidery equipment. I can't tell you how f*cking jealous I am. Good luck and happy stitching
Thanks a lot dude!
Subscribed. Love your energy. I'm just starting out in screen printing. Finally got quality screen printing equipment and hopefully get to your status. Looking into the Melco Bravo. Do work and good luck in these trying times. Liked
Thanks a lot, welcome to the channel 🤘🏻
Right on Lee. Hitting all your goals like a boss.
One by one trying to knock them down 🤘🏻. Thanks dude
Nice montage of the arrival of the machine. That delivery man must be feeling very cool until this day.
Unreal B Roll on the Melco, looked like a professional product video.
Keep up the content!
Thanks a lot dude, had fun making that
Congrats bro, Thank you for living my life, i would be back here to show you my first SWF monogram machine, with love from Nigeria, need a good digitizer?
you just got lucky..
You need some dedication, it's cooler than you think when you start designing
@Lee Stuart I picked up a Ricoma MT-1501 a few months back , hope you enjoy your Embroidery Machine LS38 keep growing Bro!
Thanks a lot man!
first time coming across your videos bro super excited for you! im also looking forward to getting an embroidery machine. I feel you on wanting to attack the things other embroiderers didn't want to do! looking forward to seeing more of your videos!!
Thanks a lot man. I've got a lot to learn so I can shut those guys down haha, but I'll make it happen 🤘🏻
I love your videos. You came a long way. Congrats on everything
Thanks man 🤘🏻
@@leestuart38 is this legit
Congratulations! Looks like an amazing machine! I have an Brother Embroidery machine and do small projects. I can tell you the things I struggled with in the beginning: learning how to hoop and figuring out the digitizing software. I would like to know what digitizing software you will use. I have been using Embird, I often wished I could have taken a boot camp for a week just to learn it!
Thanks! I definitely have a lot to learn when it comes to hooping and setting things up, but I should be able to knock that out pretty quick with my print experience helping out in the little ways in can. I'll be using melco design shop pro once I get into that part of it, I have a lot of vector design experience so it should help me out a bit
This is the same machine I use daily in my garage shop. I started a few months ago ... & my plan is to eventually have 6-8 of these machines running 8+ hours per day. My shop moto is similar to yours. Mine is "Do the Fucking Work"
Nice 🤘🏻. I plan on adding more as I need them too, that's one of the coolest things about these machines
Nude bro! Melco gang
How much does this machine cost?
Hey Lee. Just to let you know. I am from Brazil and inspired by you now I have my business growing. In my studio I heat print Brazilian Jiu Jítsu gis, t shirts, hoodies.... you are great Brother.
Thank you, happy to hear that
I also made the jump last year and got a swf, I got tired of the long turnaround times when I outsourced my embroidery it is a learning curve and hats will have you breaking your head but it's worth it. I sub out my digitizing next step will be learning to do it myself.
Hell ya man. I plan to sub out the digitizing for now while I learn the software, but hopefully I'll have that all in-house soon.
Watching this to try and help me decide if i should make the jump into a melco. I love it 🤩
Don't do it. Get a Tajima
Beautiful! Congrats 🎉
Thank you!
You are living my dream, I have seen all your vids since you started with screen printing, now I just dream one day I can visit your shop. Thanks for always worry about the quality, I have the same mindset and your videos are honey for me 😂
Glad to hear these videos help, thanks man
That's sooo sick!!! Congrats man!!
Thanks dude!
🤘🏻💀🤘🏻 congrats bro!
Thanks homie
Congratulations!!!
Thank you!
Good choice with the melco! We love ours
So happy about it 🤘🏻
I've been watching for a while and I like to see your progress. Keep it up!
Did you pick the brand for your embroidery machine or did it pick you? I'm just curious what research you did and how you ended up with the one you have or if it was just an offered opportunity you couldn't pass up (either way... cool!)
Thanks man. It was a mix of both I guess. I've wanted one of these things since day one because of the features and expandability, everything about it fits my goals. I would have ended up getting one of these things either way, I wanted it so bad that I actually turned down an opportunity to work with a different machine company a while back. Well I guess the universe rewarded me for that one, so pumped to be working with these guys and my dream machine
I own a Brother Industrial Embroidery Machine...best investment ever. I wanted to also add printing services to my business, but not too keen on screen printing. Was thinking more DTG. Only thing that has held me back to date, is the little jet clogging issues. Will see how it goes. Good Luck!
I'd definitely stay away from DTG unless you can have that thing running non stop, and even then they're really tough to make money with. Screen printing is 100% worth learning. Good luck with it man
Not gonna lie I genuinely assumed you had one already for as well put together as your shop is! This addition will elevate your brand exponentially, f#$% am I jelly.
I've wanted one for so damn long! So stoked to finally have one and to see what it can do
Dude, your B-Rolls are amazing.
Thanks a lot!
I just bought mine too! I love it!
how much does this model go for?
Welcome to the Melco family. You're going to love it. {Join us on the FB groups for melco) . I've owned Tajima and Happy - And I F'ing love my Melco...Congrats enjoying seeing the hard work pay off. {Also And your B roll is amazing!} Also get yourself some magnetic hoops ASAP, Hoopmaster you'll get to hoop a shirt in seconds compared to the round base hoops that come with every machine.
Thanks! So pumped on this machine. And I'm definitely planning on stocking up on mighty hoops once I get this thing running
Looking forward to see what you get with it 😎👍🏻
We'll be doing some killer stuff in no time 🤘🏻
CONGRATS !
Thanks!
I had the Amaya,Amaya XT and the Amaya XTS and honestly I was happy with then until I bought my Tajima!!! A world of difference.
lee congrats on the machine awesome have a look at Keep on Creating channel mike has melco machines his embroidery is top notch congrats again
Thanks man. His work is incredible all around, love his videos 🤘🏻
Nice! I just bought a Vastex carousel and an embroidery machine is on my list next 🤘
Hell ya man, get after it! 🤘🏻
When you're ready to start slinging some threads. Feel free to reach out man. My info is pinned in the about section above.
Congratulations! 💯
Thanks man 🤘🏻
Lee they need to hire you to make a commercial for them because that intro to the machine is fucking sick! got me ready to buy one!
I've done my job well if that's the reaction 😂. I had fun making that, thanks man
This is amazing!!!! I have a brother & a babylock. Maybe one day I’ll add the Medco!!! Maybe once I grow my channel 😀 I’ll keep working at it. ❤️
Just put in that work 💪🏻. Hope you get it!
Lee Stuart thank you 😊
Yeah. That’s awesome. I have 3. Aaron Varsity Apparel
Hell ya, I'll definitely be adding more when needed 😂
congrats.... wishing you much success! question... will you be doing your own (embroidery) digitizing or will you be sending it out?
I plan on doing a lot myself, but I've got some help to get started. Thanks 🤘🏻
Congrates man your gonna be the best branding man in your area
Thanks man, working on it!
So damn good dude!
you smashin it bro......awesome man
Thanks dude 🤘🏻
Hey Congrats Lee, I saw your progress that inspirational. Quick question why Melco? there are bunch of brand outside like Tajima, Barudan, Brother etc.? which emb software you gonna learn in order to use the Melco?. I'm looking forward all the amazing you will create.
This machine fits best with my goals and how I want to grow, the limitless ability to network these things is pretty amazing. They're also really fast
Good stuff Lee Awesome man.
Cant wait to put a Hat order in, sorry I havent commented in a while, been sorti,n through some of my own trash and came through out on the other side.
Pumped for ya guy.
Always dig see. You getting your new toys
She is Sexy, I see in the blooper/outro clips You also gold bond your nether regions. Only way to stay cool my man
Hope yours works better then my XT plus. I like the older models we have better, but then again I bought mine right when it came out and I think there are some bugs in the software making the stitches 10-20% fatter then the artwork should be. Melco couldn’t even figured it out and I have to edit each design by adjusting the column thickness -10 to 20% good luck!
Whats up Lee? I would like to know your feelings and thoughts on the Melco now that you've had it for a little while now? Is it Good for hats? I'm looking to buy but my bread and butter will be hats so I've been looking at the Barudan Embroidery Machine because I know they bust out hats but would like to hear your thoughts. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
The amount of excitement in a few boxes 😍
Man, im so happy for you! Congratulations on that beautiful machine!
That red anodized is pure porn!😍
So happy for you! Can't wait to see it at work and the amazing stuff you'll do!
That end "fart" tho😂😂😂
I couldn't resist that one 😂😂😂. Thanks man
I don't really think PC is better than Mac, but it does seem to work with other products better. Shop is looking good man, thanks for the Sunday morning vid. Keep at it. Definitely need to pick up an embroidered hat once you crank them out.
Comparability is the issue within this industry. I might have to make the full switch if I can get used to it, we'll see when that new one shows up. Thanks man 🤘🏻
lucky! if they gave me a machine i would definitely do content for them too everyday!!!!!! An embroidery machine is much needed if you are doing your co line too!!! good luck!
I can't wait to crank out some videos with this thing!
Cool stuff. the fart part lmfao. By the way, I know this crossed you mind before, or not, but that machine was heavy, also the press, and the conveyor, and the Roland and they are in different locations and eventually you moving out.. you see where is this going??? lol get those muscles ready hommie. expanding is out the corner. Keep it up man.
Not looking forward to the move but I'm definitely hiring people for that haha. No way I'm lifting all that shit again
Hey Lee, thanks for the killer content. Your dedication to the shop shows in your work and your attitude, and the value you provide by taking the time to share the lessons you have learned and documenting your journey is priceless.
I had a quick question - is Rogue Labs registered as it's own LLC separate from Thirty Eight Ride Co, or are they both under running the same name? I'm doing something similar where I plan to have a customer-facing screen print business and then an original apparel brand, but for tax purposes, but I'm not sure if I should be registering and promoting the clothing brand separately. Any insights would be super helpful.
Thanks dude, hope you're healthy and well!
Nick
Thanks man. I'm in Canada so things are totally different up here, but rogue and thirty eight are set up as separate companies
Killa!!!!!!!.....nice machine....been watching ur successful journey.....keep it up.....when u setup I'm buying my custom made embroidered logos from you.
Hell ya!
Next Mission Manufacturing Your Own Shirt ❤️ god bless you bro
Maybe one day! Thanks man
The Austin powers smoke fart section at the end hahahahahaha
Exactly where I got the inspiration 😂
