    I used to do the cardboard cut out but I found easier way that works for me. I start by getting a piece of wood depending on how many keys you want, then measuring your key to laser cut to size, then you have a permanent template. First cut out on scrap wood a single piece to get a perfect size. I also have a pen engraving template, it works perfect. Enjoy 👍

    Awesome video. Short and to the point. I would like to know how do you know your template is in the right spot when you put it down? Do you have a thing like the clack shack where you lock it in place?

    Thank you so much! I actually get so many shipments every week between supplies from amazon and multiple other vendors and I cut the boxes and pile them up in my garage and when I need a jig I just tape it down and cut it for a one time use! Then when I am done take it up and throw it away. I have thought about doing it where there are parts to lock into place but have not come up with the material to make it yet.

    Do you ever spray borax on your keychains before laser engraving and also after laser engrave do you put any type of clear coat to protect the engraving?

    Hello! Thank you very much! I actually did my own website through shopify and build websites on the side - Have done probably 30-50 for different cornhole building and woodworking companies in the past 2-3 years! I would love to help out if you need it! Shopify is by far the best in my opinion and the easiest to learn as well. I use the Shopify payments processor for my website.

    That is awesome! I highly recommend using Shopify for your website. Best there is in my opinion. For my engraved photos I convert them over using imagR then did a power speed test to find the settings I liked engraving wise I believe I do around 5000 mm/m or 6000mm/m at 100% power and 0.080 Line interval.
