Hey guys, I'm Christy! It can be hard to JUST START a project sometimes because no one wants to screw up, am I right? Well... I kinda think not starting is already a fail so you might as well start somewhere. If you are into CNC, you're going to find some helpful info here. Subscribe and hit the notification bell to make sure you get updated on all my latest content as soon as it comes out. Got a particular video or subject matter you want more info on? Please let me know! I love to educate at the beginner level and help people just get started. That seems to be the hardest part but when you get over that hurdle, you'll be teaching me something before ya know it!

    How did you know from the Amazon listing that they were laser safe ? Just trying to learn how to find items that are safe

  • @OakHillMillworks
    @OakHillMillworks7 күн бұрын

    This is a great question. I apologize that I didn’t get back to you sooner. I have been hosting family this past week. The short answer is, I didn’t know if they would. I bought them and just tested out settings and figured out what worked best for my wattage laser. As long as you know what materials are not safe to laser, things like PVC or vinyl, you can stay away from those things. Otherwise, most things will laser and engrave, it’s just a matter of if they will look good or not. A lot of people use settings that are way too powerful for journals like this and I don’t believe they look good. It doesn’t take much to remove that top color and reveal the black beneath.

    Trying to wrap my head around the poly. So you apply it before you paint your letters right? Isn’t the paint sitting on the poly then and not on the wood? If that is the case, then I’m assuming you would need to add a coat or two of poly at the end to sandwich the paint between the two poly layers?

  • @OakHillMillworks
    @OakHillMillworks15 күн бұрын

    The paint adheres just fine to the poly and then yep if you want to seal with poly, you would then poly again over the entire sign after peeling off the masking. 💪🏼

    A cheaper alternative is using DAP Plastic Wood(or any wood filler or a joint compound). Seal the wood first, then mix the amount you use with about 10-20% water, spread it on the wood with a plastic spreader, let it dry and then carve. Paint it, spraying is better than gobbs of paint and brushing, then sand. Works great, saves you a crap load of money.

    Just curious... as I am waiting for my Onefinity CNC to be delivered, at about the 10:50 mark it looks like there is some rust on some of the components of X axis carriage assembly... am I seeing that right? If so, was this received as a brand new machine?

    Nope. Because I make videos for a living, onefinity sent an older refurbished machine to me to use. This was not a new machine.
