    I was just testing image burning tonight! Learned so much in these few minutes that took me hours of trial and error. The masking is awesome!

    I just want to thank you for the best youtube on photos I've seen. I have watched hours of KZreads and not one of then explained the Adjust tools in LightBurn. I did not even know where to adjust the line intervals at. I also did not understand what the enhance radios tool was. That's because no one ever explains it.

    Fantastic content! Its so hard to find laser tutorials where people dont ramble for 40 minutes, or have their exhaust fans screaming over them. Subscribed for sure. 10/10

    Thanks a lot for your videos... My Ortur LM2 has sat almost a year. I got in some coaster blanks, so thanks for the template video, and now with this one i'm trying a Joker/Batman print on soft wood ..... 1st try ... hoping it turns out well, but now I know a lot more than i did, so I've done well for only your videos and a few days

    OMG, I am 83 and learning on a CO2 laser at Rochester Makerspace. I have done of bit of engraving on both wood, slate, and rocks with some success. I can't wait to give this a try. Best video ever! I am working on gift boxes at the moment. I have done several on chipboard so they are somewhat stiff, but I love them. Now I have inserted images into all sides of box. Some are stick figures (clip art) and one side is an actual photo. I will try adjusting the photo following your video and do some test burns first. If all goes well, I will post video to KZread.

    Speaking of CO2 lasers, I have been experimenting with diode and acrylic tiles. I decided to use the CO2 after many frustrating attempts on the diode 5.5 watt to get repeatable results. The best I was able to get on the diode was 600mm/min at 27 power. It would take about an hour to burn the image and many times, the results were spotty at best even when using Enduramark at $74.00 a can I switched to the CO2 and was able to burn the image in ten minutes at 4 power. It is much brighter and looks 200 percent better with no prep ahead of time. Just goes to show, use the right tool for the job!

    Jim, you have shown how much you can do with one of these. I'm still trying to get my 3D printers figured out, maybe someday. Thanks for sharing this and Tristen is very cute.

    man you are awesome, these videos are helping me start up so easy. Doing my test color tiles today! I was curious what your gandalf tile would look like with say green and blue as the base colors so I'm defiantly trying soon!
