Not sure what settings I have wrong... but no matter the wood thickness it only engraves, doesn't cut.
Are they can recording 24h if they are wired ?
Have you did lather I’m looking at getting this this laser machine the 10 Watt for making hat patches at vendors shows and there’s nobody that has did a video with leather and also no one shown how long it takes to engrave instead of spending it up if you would make a video or even just give me information on how long it takes if you do I would appreciate I don’t want to buy the machine and the air purifier if it’s not gonna work for what I need
I have engraved some faux leather key chains. Works the same as wood. You must do tests to determine best settings before engraving the real products. Be warned, I have heard many say engraving leather smells very bad.
Thanks for the video! I just checked the emails I received in the past, and it seems that I got emails from the same "Companies": Levis, Canon, MSI, black Magic, Corel... All has emails with kakao domain... I didn't respond any of them.
Very nice work Richard. Take care. Cheers, Huw
Thank you so very much. 😀
If you use isopropyl alcahol in a spray bottle and mist it over the epoxy, it pops the bubbles. I use it when i make dominoes.
Great tip. I also use about 5-10% denatured alcohol stirred in the epoxy to thin it out. The bubbles on my projects are from the air pockets between the sheets of wood I glue together. Bubbles often times come out of the seams and stick there without making it to the top. Popping them with toothpicks is my only option. LOL. We thank you for sharing the wonderful tip.
Actual DIY starts at 2:25
Thank you for pointing that out. Others can avoid the fluff at the beginning.
That’s not wall mount
Okay. Thank you for pointing this out
*Hows it holding up 5 years later ???*
It actually started chipping within a few months, but only in a few specific locations. Doing some research, I realized it was chipping where car tires sit when parked. Turns out, tires get hot from friction when driving and caused the chipping, but the rest of the floor was great. My garage floor is torn up all over because I use it as a woodworking shop. I am constantly dragging around equipment, dropping heavy things, etc. That being said. I stand by my decision to paint it as I did. Note: the edges of my garage, where I do not walk or work on, still look good!
Nice sign and video. I see a bigger laser in your future. : )
have you tapped into my network?? I am 99% ready to purchase a monster machine. It is in my shopping cart. Just doing some final research to ensure I can fit it in my garage and have proper fume extraction. :-)
The epoxy was an excellent choice. It made a nice award plaque into a really special one. Hope your Partner didn't hear you call her your Helper,,,best of luck with that,,,LOL !!
Did I say helper? I meant CEO! LOL!
It was worth the extra effort to add the epoxy. Turned out quite nice, if I do say so myself. 🙂
The hair clipper bit...😂... try it on your eyebrows 😂
You have a valid idea there!!! :-)
Great video! I have a S1, but I found your video to be very informative.
It is comments like yours that make this so fun for us. We are so pleased to hear you found it useful!
Thanks so much for this video. It’s a great idea. I would like to do it for my bedroom closet, which is 48 inches wide and 96 inches tall. How did you order it? Did you list the width as the height and the height as the width? I’m trying to understand how you Ended up getting the bracket at the top of the closet for what would’ve been the side of the shades
We purchased these as custom blinds. There were a few companies that custom make these to order. When placing the order, you provide measurements and if the shade will be inside the window sill or outside. Although we used it for a closet, we simply indicated it was for an inside curtain and they provided the proper hardware/brackets, to mount it in the closet. Thank you for the wonderful question
Thanks so much for your response.
I just purchased a AOSU. DOORBELL, I was wondering after you wired your doorbell does it also continue to charge up your battery too?
Outstanding question. It never crossed my mind. That being said, I have to admit... I do not have a proper answer for you. It will have to be addressed directly to Aosu's customer support. I am so sorry I am unable to help.
Using the border template for positioning is a great tip 👍
Glad you think so!
Dude has his eyes closed for 90% of the video
That is kind of a harsh thing to say to a Japanese blooded old man. That's close to a "slant eye" comment. Can't help how my eyes are but it is all good. The benefits of having eyes like this is that I can see through closed horizontal blinds. LOL.
These turned out very nice. It was a lot of work, obviously, but the end result was well worth it. My best to your better half and hope she is back in the shop with you soon. Have a wonderful and peaceful Independence Day !!
Thank you for the compliment and your concern for the better half if this team. 😁
Thank you
Welcome!
Although my partner in crime was not there, I enjoyed making this video!
...that is not a great way to transfer picture. I saw some artists doing this way but there is a better way, please be patient and search thru other options on You Tube. I am not saying that it is a wrong way, just that it is one of many options but not so good.
I agree with you. It isn't the best method. It was definitely a fun experiment to try and we have kept the images we made. :-)
Useless video 🤬🤬
Hi, great video, What were the products and ratios for that thing you applied before you engraved the Paw patrol character to make it engrave thicker and furthermore do you need to leave that to dry before you engrave?
I apologize for the delayed response. I initially had issues with engraving. The images just did not appear dark enough so I tried the chemical to help make it darker. In all honesty, I am leaning towards adjusting the laser power and speed to get it darker. It takes too long to apply chemicals and let them dry. I am no longer convinced it is best option. Thank you for watching the video and for taking the time to type a message.
Great intro video folks. Greatly appreciate it. Waiting for my F1 Ultra to come in and get rolling.
We are thrilled to learn the video might be helpful to others. Thank you for taking the time to watch our video and for leaving the comment
You guys are a great combo, thank you for providing a clear explanation without wasting anyone's time!
Thank you so very much for watching our video and for your kind words. It really means a lot to the both of us.
You have a lot of expensive equipment to call it "poor" man
It is a Name. Just Poor Boy restaurants that make a ton more money. LOL. The idea is to show how you can save a ton of money by doing things yourself. Our ceiling caved in because of a water leak we were not aware of. Contractors quoted $8000+ to repair everything. We did it ourselves. We purchased some "expensive tools" you refer to at a cost that was significantly less than to pay Contractors. When we finished the project, we ended up with some nice tools. We saved money by purchasing expensive tools and this could work for poor peopleas well. 😀
Nice video! : )
Thank you very much!
I have fallen in love with all my Aosu cameras!!!
Military doesn't do copyright. Velcro? Nope it's hook and loop. Duck tape? Nope it's 100 mph tape
Thank you for taking the time to reply. We honestly do appreciate it. The US Air Force logo, seals, etc are trademark protected. You need to obtain permission from the Air Force Branding and Trademark Licensing Office. In essence the trademark is copyright protected. I am not trying to show you up, I just dont want you or any viewers to use logos without permission and then get in trouble.
Im just starti g the video but im looking for a comparison between the k6 and k10. Is one better than the other?
I am truly sorry but I do not have a K6, so I am unable to perform a comparison.
Very nice work Richard. Hope Jennifer gets more mobile soon. Take care Richard. Cheers, uw
She is a much tougher cookie than I am. I would be whining and crying all day. she is trying to apply some weight on her bad leg, while using crutches. I have to scold her not to do so, based on Doctor's orders. LOL!
this is pretty nice, but I hate the fact everything is going 'app' based now. I just want an old fashion base station with a monitor. Having the app for remote viewing is nice, but Im not trying to have my phone running an app all day
I definitely understand and respect what you say. There are actually some ways you could utilize the cameras without an app on your phone. I believe you can use this with an Amazon Echo Show. There are also ways to install phone apps on your computer. By doing so, you can watch the camera without your phone. However, this camera is not meant to watch for long periods. it is solar powered and the more it records, the quicker the power is drained. Thank you for watching our video and for the taking the time to leave a comment.
Very nice 👍
Thank you 👍We appreciate your taking the time to watch and leave a comment.
Great video and instructions. The plaque really pops. Thanks for sharing! : )
I dont have the skills to make the incredible things you do so your kind words mean that much more to us. Thank you as always!
Poor man Fighting~^^
Well... I am trying to. LOL
Our little way of teaching how we make plaques
i am keen to know how it works with rubber
I have never seen Rubber tested. Before trying it out, I recommend doing some serious research to ensure the fumes generated are not toxic.
SUPER ANNOYING MUSIC👎🏻👎🏻
We agree and have been informed by many other viewers. It is an old video using free music. Hopefully our newer videos have less annoying music. Thank you for your input. We truly appreciate it
Can you make me one. Been Looking and came across your video. Looks like you take great care in building these. Im in S Florida
I can. I have made and shipped to Florida. If you wish to order something, please reach out to me through my Facebook business page at facebook.com/R.J.CreativeGift
For a "poor man's diy" you sure do have a lot of power tools.
I get that a lot. I too did not have a ton of tools. If I had major project needed to be completed, such as repairing a collapsed ceiling, I was quoted at $8,000. Instead of paying a contractor, I studied on doing the repair and purchased tools I need to complete the task. It was much less than paying contractor and when finished, I had tools that could be used for other things. There were many projects we did because we wanted to upgrade rooms but applied the same principle. Contractors quoted huge amounts. We bought tools instead. 😀
I don't think most poor people have a plethora of tools but a great idea

Could be add more than 4 cameras?
I had 4 attached but not more than that so I am unable to say for certain. I believe you can add more but the more you add , the.bigger the drain on your phone's memory. Four worked well but I noticed it froze slightly compared to three devices. The more power you have for your phone, the easier it will probably be to add more cameras
I purchased the l2 36w model and was highly disappointed. The issue with the usb port that is attached to the main board began when putting it together. after about 1 month of back and forth emails (often consisting of redundant questions asking me to reiterate the issue and creating a video, they finally shipped a new board and a video of how to install it. When I was able to get it to run, the autofocus failing issue began. Again with the emails and requests for a video (which had already been sent to them), Atezr began ignoring the issue and began focusing on the next issue (yes, they drug out the autofocus issue that long) in which the laser would periodically burn through the wood and often would not. Yes, they asked for another video and after another couple of weeks, they said it was probably the lens and they would send another lens. They still were ignoring the auto focus issue (I realized this is a common issue after I googled Atezr complaints). While the lens was in transit, the laser burned up. The flame detection failed and the laser failed to shut off, nor did it return to the home position as is stated in the manual. Now going on 2 months of back and forth emails and multiple photos and videos, Atezr asked if they could send a 5w laser head as a replacement, which I rejected and stated that is far below the actual wattage that I purchased. After another week of emails, Atezr then stated they would send the correct laser head and sent the 5w laser head anyway. Now that I brought this to their attention and offered to send the "toy" laser head back, I get the following email " service.cacberry Wed, Jun 5, 9:02 AM to me "Thank you for your reply. Please change the starting position to the current position, change the original point of the job to the lower left corner, we attached a picture to show it. And then move the laser up, down, left and right, and see if the direction of the motor is reversed ? Waiting for your reply, Nice day." What? THIS is their response? So yeah, expect this to be your support when your machine breaks. I too own several lasers and Atezr by far is the worst support imaginable.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Any considerations for apply to higher humidity rooms ie, bathroom and kitchen? Thanks for your content!
Some floor boards are.made specifically for high moisture areas and would be perfect for kitchens or bathrooms. There are some that are waterproof, but to me, they are made of rubber and dont look like real wood.
How long to leave the paint dry before applying the coating?
I am truly sorry, but I accomplished this, five years ago and I do not recall the exact curing time. I believe it was 72 hours. The manufacturer may have made some changes to make it dry quicker. I apologize for not having a better answer for you.
Do you need to adjust settings when you add masking tape?
Fantastic question. I never thought about the need to address this. The answer is Yes. You need more power to cut through the tape first. Thank you for the wonderful question.
I get photo paper at thrift stores
Great thinking!!! That never crossed my mind. I am old!!! LOL
Not as easy when all you have is a single pole switch with black, white and ground. I sent six smart switches back and got smart outlets instead. They are more versatile as you can control both sockets individually on each outlet.
Valid point. Thank you for sharing this with everyone. I have heard of a company that makes switches specifically for. Single poles but I have not tried them. Apparently, they are more expensive switches (not sure how much more they cost), but they would allow the use of a smart switch where you wanted it. Thank you for watching our video and for leaving the comment
@@Poor_Mans_DIY you're welcome and keep up the good work on your channel. I'm kind of glad I got smart outlets instead of smart switches because they're more versatile. I have lamps plugged in to several so they work like light switches.
Easy! ❤❤❤
The house didn't catch fire so I believe all is good. 😀
