I love how you dive deep into teaching the rationale for every setting you make. Not just a simple "do this, do that, you're own your own, i don't care" type of tutorial like the others.

Great vid - thanks. Perfect teaching for a Newbie like myself!

Being brand new and having Lightburn 2.0.04 it is great to finally have someone teaching from this updated version of Lightburn!! I paid $250 for Laser Academy which was taught from a 2 year plus old version and not knowing Lightburn, it was very confusing and hard to figure out. I will hopefully be investing in your trainings. Thanks for everything!!

Fantastic! A bit fast moving for me but YT has the handy playback speed setting... Thank you so much for the detail here. Very helpful for a beginner like me. I appreciate the explanations for the choices you make on setup. I am very excited to watch more and to get started on my projects.

Great video, I don’t listen as fast as you talk 😂 so I have to listen several times. Thanks for what you do.

Hello! Thank you for the video. Could you please send the link of cutting settings from Tunder Laser? I could not find it on their website. Thank you.

Hello, would you be so kind as to make a video tutorial on how to make channels in acrylic on CO2 laser machines?

@TheAmericanWanderer 6 months ago

would like to see how you input svg files from a vector program like inkscape, how do you set them up and seperate them, thanks

Glad I found your channel! I’ve learned already. Maybe you can help with an error I’m getting? Goode cannot be executed in lock or alarm state. I don’t have it locked nor the emergency button pushed. Any help is appreciated. I have the LokLik Iengrave.

Hello Chalk.

Quick question: What's the best material I can put under my diode laser machine (Creality Falcon Pro 10w) to protect my table from being burnt, steel, aluminum, glass, durlock (drywall)?

Thanks & greets from Argentina

I love your content and have subscribed to your channel & emails, thank you. However, I wish I had a control panel to slow down your narrative and movements on the screen with the cursor by 25% . I find it very difficult to follow your instructions purely because of your speed of delivery, please take a breath! 😅👍

Hi, do you also engrave without air assist on a CO2 laser? I thought this wasn't that good for your lenses, but I might be wrong.
