Welcome Back
In todays video I will be going through, in detail, my workflow on how i produce the best laser engravings on wood without the use of any chemicals.
If you haven't tried these 3 key components that I use in every picture I engrave you are missing out.
If you have a different way of engraving let us know how you do it in the comments so your knowledge can help others.
Thankyou for taking the time to watch my video, I hope you have learnt something.

Hey Johnny, great video. I've seen a lot of videos on how to process a picture, but this video gave me more information that other videos hadn't shown me. Like I always put my min power to 0. I never saw anyone put it to 1 below the firing power. I'm glad I found your channel. Keep up the great videos.
Thank you. Just to clarify, the minimum and maximum power settings can't be used on all engraving modes. Also, co2 and diode laser settings might be different, min max power might not be accessible in some cases. But thank you for your comment and I hope it helps.
something Ive been looking for for ages someone to explain things
Your video is the best. Showing the step-by-step process and taking the time to explain everything is fantastic. Very well done
Thank you very much for your comment.
Excellent learning very logical once we know !
Awesome video, very detailed. Thanks for creating it. It answered a lot of questions that I had. Looking forward to figuring out my perfect photo and gravy settings for my laser. And by the way, 30 minutes is not too long, especially when the content is meaningful.
Awesome, thank you!
You're really clever! I've been watching video on engraving images and none have had a thorough explanation like your videos. Well done! I love this and I also watched your video re engraving on slate :) ❤
Thank you. I hope these videos have helped.
Great info! Definitely going to be trying this process.
Very informative. The best I've seen. Thanks
Top man 😅 like many of the comments below wish I’d com across you a year ago. Keep it going thanks
I appreciate that!
I'm new at this. Very informative. I plan on engraving some photos in a month and this was just what I needed to know. Thank you.
Fantastic. I wish you all the best and welcome you to the lasering community. In future videos I'll be posting will be mainly about project ideas that make money but are also fantastic gift ideas. I'll bee walking through the whole process on how to make them all. If you are stuck with anything and you can't find any information on what it is your stuck on just leave a comment on one of my videos and I will do my best to get back to you.
Didnt know about defocusing and adjusting DPI. Thanks for sharing info.
I'm glad I could shed a little light on the subject.
El mejor tutorial láser que he visto en mucho tiempo! Gracias!
This was great info. I’m doing a lot of photo engraving and this will save me from spending a lot of time testing images.
Brilliant. Just 1 thing to keep in mind your power scale may change depending what species of wood your engraving on. Your dpi and de focus settings should be fine but you may need to run a test for your power when engraving on different woods
@@MadeBetterWithKnowledge That'll be a challenge. I'm a woodturner. We get our wood green and from anywhere we can find it. It's quite a collection in my woodshed!
Thank you. This video is very helpful. I have been struggling with images. I’m going to apply your technique and give it a try. Very educational for us beginners.
You are welcome. I'm happy it has helped.
Loving your videos, very informative, new to laser engraving but very excited to get going, cheers
Thank you so much. I wish you all the best in your laser journey.
Very informative video. Will be trying this out. This has been a pain point.
I learned a lot from this. Thank you. I’m anxious to try this
Thanks a lot! This is so good, I learned a lot from it! Greetz
Really helpful and refreshingly easy to follow, thank you
Thankyou for your comment
Great Video…so helpful!! Thank you.
Thank you you are welcome
Best instructional video I've found so far for me being a newbie. Thank you
That is fantastic to hear. Thank you.
Very interesting
Very helpful video. Thank you.
You're welcome. I hope it helps.
great explanation on defocusing
Glad it was helpful!
Very good, the only thing I would be concerned about is different wood species. I think different power settings would be required, but this should be saved once for each specieis. Also cleaning the laser lens has played a bit factor. I don't have a blower.
Arrived home after a long day of work I have looked at this video with a lot of interest. Even if I am a beginner in the laser world,I have found it very intelligent and useful. Thank a lot from Italy. Looked at it till midnight. Long but very clear. Well done Jonny. I am going to share it to a friend of mine. Bye for now.
Thankyou very much for your kind words.
Just got my first laser (10W ) for Christmas. This is some really helpful info👌
Thanks a lot, definitely going to try this with my laser.
Have fun!
Thanks a lot. I have learned so much.
You are welcome!
Hi Johnny. Made it to the end. I like this video, it was the only one I've ever seen that said more than "adjust it till it looks good" like that means something. Good advice but I wonder if you adjust your scan offset? Thanks for everything.
Thank you very much for your comment it means a lot. I really hope that watching this video has helped in some way. I am assuming, and I might be wrong, that you're referring to scan offset as over scanning. If so, I set it to a minimum of 5% to allow for the laser to slow down and speed back up before it has to power back on again. If you're referring to scan offset as the machine setting, I have left mine as the machine settings as I have not come across any issues thus far.
I hope I have answered your question adequately.
Hi Johnny, I watched to the end, i was up last night and came across you my friend.
I am just starting up and I have bought a lot of stuff.
I was wondering if it would be possible to email you, because you are by far the best person I have come across at explaining it.
I have no experience with computers and engraver’s.
I need your help if possible.
You have a good bad,
Thank you for the videos 👏👏
Well done and thanks! Your video really makes a difference in helping optimizing the engraving parameters. The defocusing aspect was very interesting and makes good sense.
Thank you for making it to the end. No matter how much I cut out of the video, it still ended up being 30 minutes long.
Thanks for the information.
My pleasure
Brilliant
Great video man! this information helped out alot.
Glad it helped!
Great information, thanks!
You are welcome.
wonderful tidbits!
Thank you
Hi dude, Your laser is very sharp. If anyone wants to engrave a picture then is this is the video to watch. Thanks. Is glass engrave is same as wood? If not, pls make a video when you have time. Thanks again.
Great video with great detail.
Thank you. Your comment means a lot.
Excellent Tutorial. I hope you make more

Thank you. I really hope it helps.
great video - thanks. I am just getting started and this is helpful
Thank you. In the new year I'm looking to make more tutorials and videos on gift and product ideas
Amazing video, and you could share you scale already set 😜
Thx for the vid.
You are welcome.
Does this apply to the settings for the laser being used specifically regardless on what you are engraving or do we need to do this for each different material? Excellent Video.
The dpi and the de focus settings will always be the same. You will have to do a power scale test for different woods
✅
Over scanning is your friend.
Is this different than using the Material Test function?
This is different than using a material test. But a material test must be done before,to get your base settings for your engraving.
Just a quick question, on the latest version of Lightburn when you select Jarvis the option to select the min Power is gone, so we only have the option using greyscale, any idea?
Which version of lightburn are you on 1.4.04?
I have just taken a look through the settings for diode lasers and co2 lasers. It seems that the minimum power is locked on engraving types other than grayscale for diode lasers. That is an error on my end. In your case, you can still use the image that I used in the video for your power scale. The only setting you will have to change is the max power until you have a good contrast in colour throughout the scale.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I will need to amend my video. This is a great catch and a huge error on my end.
I hope the information I provided in this comment is clear on what to do.
@@MadeBetterWithKnowledge thank you for your reply, and we are here to help others ;-)
