I sure miss laser engraving. My uncle owned a laser engraving shop in the 90s and closed up shop permanently in early 2000s. I worked there as a teen and I would take my baby to shop everyday. I sure miss my uncle. I dabble on variety of crafts, but really thinking about getting back into laser engraving.

Happy 1 year anniversary. Absolutely love all you do. Goals! I hope one day to own a Glowforge. Keep up the amazing job.

I’ve had a 20W Ortur for about 3 weeks (all I can afford) for now. With the explosion of the laser cutting industry would you say you have up to maybe 5-6 marketing income sources? My head spins at all the ways to get customers. I used to be in territory sales, cold calling, etc., it’s mind blowing one doesn’t have to do that in today’s world.

This was helpful. And right when I was going to ask you guys how you like it compared to your xcarve... you beat me to it. So... good to know that you prefer the laser. I already have an xcarve and I was curious if it was worth getting the laser or if I should just stick with the Cnc. But yeah... I have issues with detail. Don’t really engrave with it. And more times than I’d like to admit a design breaks or fails. I’ve used an epilogue laser and have knowledge with Corel draw to make designs and svg a. One thing I haven’t seen was someone saying that they don’t recommend that filter because the replacements are expensive. So... that’s good to know. I have a window available and I can save that money for material. Thanks for the review.

Thank you for a great video!

New patron and new to glowforge. I had an 80watt CO2 when we lived in our house but now that we travel full time I don’t have space for the big laser. I’m loving everything about the glowforge except the 20” limit on width. My biggest question before I order a ton of mdf from you guys is how does it hold up outside? Do you only paint with the chalk paint or do you clearcoat as well? Can’t wait to try my first pass through project and my first layered project. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks and for going through a whole project when you film!! I’m one that needs to see start to finish!

Congratulations!

Hi what's the best cut and print printer for at least 5 to 10 stacks of paper designs 🤔or print and cut in bulk

How awesome

Thanks for the review, what a nice laser. I have an Etsy shop and know that sales don't equal profit. I made over 120K in sales one year but my materials, overhead and cost of building my business was over half that so I only made around 55K profit that year. I'm looking into purchasing a laser but still unclear if it's worth it for my business. The cost of these lasers gets insane.

Can you carve designs into something like drinking glasses? Or does it only work on flat surfaces?

Question is this a side hustle? If so how many hours a week does it take up?

It would be nice if you could clarify if sales figures were net or gross. Cost of materials? Monetized social media numbers? Overhead?

I appreciation you telling us how much you made in a year. What I really want to know is... how much did you make in total sales to make 60k in a year? Thanks?

Question on the 1/4 inch cut. They claim you can cut up to 1/2 inch. Is that true?

Can you engrave on round services, like cups

But what was the sales before you had the glowforge?

I just jumped in on this. And also own a glowforge. I don't have a Website, Etsy or eBay. What is your suggestion for selling stuff. Where and how do I do it? I've have zero success from making wooden jewelry to wooden signs, do wooden pins. As a graphic designer I usually make very custom and elaborate pieces, but no one buys. Why? Just would like some help. I'm not smart enough to do it on my own and am needing help.

@chadh3441

Don't kid yourself dude and sell yourself short. You are undoubtedly smart enough to make intricate wooden boxes, so you're smart enough to do this. As far as selling items, it really depends on the clientele that you are focused on. I think you should be able to do alright focusing on the Boomer generation. I say that because, many of this generation still appreciate quality and craftsmanship from artists that take pride in their work. You know as well as the rest of us, just how rare it is to meet someone that rush their products to the clientele in record time and in usually in poor condition. A good craftsman takes their time and doesn't put forth a half assed finished product that can ruin their reputation. Anyone can glue or nail two boards together with little to no training. A craftsman will be the one who is never afraid to sign his name on every item he creates. For none is a more harsh critic of his skills and abilities than he himself. It also doesn't hurt to have a unique style or a particular trademark that distinguishes your work from others. Either way, if you have second thoughts about your creations, others will feel that doubt too. When you are content, humble, and proud of your creation, others will be proud of it too.

Hey Scott! We did get another laser, but we got a bigger cutting area laser from China. It's not nearly as easy to use as the Glowforge, there is a lot of trial and error. BUT it does cut bigger or more things at one time.

I made the mistake of buying a boss laser, I bought the HP series because it will cut stainless. the biggest problem are the lenses and mirrors are garbage they make the laser light look like a galaxy reducing the cutting power, and I get the run around from boss they sound like they are helping but after almost 2 years of the same repeat questions and blaming me I bought a cheep knock off just to see if it was me or the laser, it was the laser. Burn on!!

Made $60k, but how much of that was profit from direct sales of the products themselves? How much was KZread revenue? How many expenses (materials, etc) offset that profit?

So you made 60k in sales, but how much of that was fees and shipping for Etsy? I made 42k last year (without a glowforge or any expensive equipment) but over 10 grand of that was for fees and shipping. Also, last year wasn't typical, because of the pandemic, my sales increased drastically. And are back down this year, and even less this year. I doubt I'll make this year what I made in 2019. Actually I just checked and there's no way I will be even close by the end of December.
