I agree..keep it up, love your calming tone, doesnt make me so nervous..lol...step by step projects, in my opinion, is the best way to learn, waiting for your next video!!

[@jf6720]

You have a new subscriber! I love how your videos are short and to the point, other videos I see are 30-40 minutes with unnecessary filler.

Same concept, but I use a sheet of construction paper held down to the honeycomb with little magnets. Then I just throw it away and use a new sheet next time.

What a genius idea！It helps a lot to save my wood,thanks.

[@albertorangel3639]

Thanks watched all 3 videos I liked them all keep it up… I’m waiting on my laser to be delivered so watching these really helps because I’m not even a beginner 😂

[@Laser.101]

Hey at least you'll know what you're looking at when it arrives!

[@isblaka]

smart trick, i am surprised though for not useing honeycomb support under the wood and air assist to avoid the burn under and on the edges...

[@Laser.101]

Honeycomb and air assist are in the mail! Should be here by Friday

[@Adventureswithkoryj]

So when buying a piece of wood, just measure it and add the dimensions to the software to make sure the image fits ?

[@Laser.101]

Pretty much!

[@queenbvanity727]

Hey, hi, I do like your videos. I have a question: What settings do you use to cut through wood because I'm having trouble? I'm going through like 11 passes.. I have a text to d121 laser, or maybe you have a video to explain the settings if you don't mind helping me

[@fastgaragedoorrepaircompany408]

My longer won’t cut through at all even with 5 passes at 100 power. Speeds at 11.4 what’s wrong? Longer ray5 10watt also

[@Laser.101]

I set my speed to 300mm per minute for cutting. When you say 11.4 is that mm per second?

[@fastgaragedoorrepaircompany408]

@@Laser.101 I cut on inches not mm so the number different . I did play with it for several hours and was able to kind figure out a sweet spot for numbers and materials .

[@alb673]

How do you actually align the laser in the centre of the design, on the square? You have positioned the square on the right on your table, but in Lightburn the design is on the left?

[@Laser.101]

You have to set the home position on the laser, I was thinking about doing a video on that

[@user-bf3cr2tt9r]

Nice! Love the craft and hope to see more coming.

[@mokane54]

Love the video but the link is for the 3D Christmas tree card. Can you post the files for the ones on the video. Thank you.

[@Laser.101]

Thanks for letting me know. I'll check that!

[@Laser.101]

I've updated the link

[@mokane54]

@@Laser.101 Thank you and have a merry Christmas.

[@chuckgarrett5789]

Ditto same files used with Christmas tree NOT from this video.

[@Laser.101]

Can you try it now and let me know? Should be updated

[@earlcummings3653]

Currious.......where did you set your laser to start from ..........? current position

[@Laser.101]

I do absolute coordinates and then home the laser to the bottom left corner. I may do a video on that, it seems some people struggle with laser location
