Rich, I can’t begin to tell you how helpful these videos you’re making have been to my learning curve. They’re easy to understand and easy to follow along to also. Some people have a natural ability to teach even when it isn’t their profession. You’re that type of person.

Me too, Until i had my boy set up another monitor to my right, I feel everything as individual was useless to me. These videos aren't long but are very instructive especially when I have Lighburn on the left and a video on the right to try eveything as we go...Thanks LHG for this...

Hi Rich, Just want to say Thank you for your dedication to helping each of us learn Laser. I am definitely a newbie, I've had my Ortur 15w for a while but ain't done a thing yet. Just got Lightburn a couple days ago and I guess it's like learning to drive a car, take it slow, pay attention and start driving. Well going to give it a go New years weekend. Really appreciate your teaching, you cover a lot of ground at a good speed, although I have to tap the brakes(pause) a bit and then continue. Will be back in days ahead to check out your files etc and will be supporter one way or another. Thanks man. Happy New Year. Andrew

I have had Lightburn for about a year or so now. Knew nothing about lasering when I got my first Jtech Laser. After watching many videos on Lightburn I thought I learned a lot. I bought the Ortur Master Pro laser a few weeks ago and came across your you tube page. I have been addicted to watching your videos since. Since watching your videos I realized I knew very little on how to navigate Lightburn. I learned more in the last few weeks than I did in the past year. Your videos make it so easy to follow along. I have been doing so many things either wrong or the hard way taking so long to set things up. It's like I hit the laser lottery once I stumbled upon your you tube channel. You made lasering more fun now rather than frustrating. Like other comments on your videos, yours are second to none. Thanks
