    If you need a laser cutter I highly reccomend checking with your local maker space. You may be able to rent cut time. So be as fancy as you want.

      Yes our local library has a maker’s space that I may visit in a frequent basis lol

      Not just maker spaces i go to my local screen printer who has a laser and give them an illustrator file and a few bucks and boom fancy laser stuffs

    • @italianbookworm
      @italianbookworm ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The main branch of our library has a really nice maker space with lots of fun/interesting equipment. And they only charge you for any consumed materials, not for using equipment/space/run times, none of that.

    #CRACK
    If you want an easy defuser for light with something like the first one, just use acryllic and a light roughing with sandpaper. Make sure it's the interior side there when you do it.
    As a major warning concerning using leather with a laser, if you're using the cheaper chrome tan options, do not use a laser with it. If it's from some of the more known tanneries and/or sources, you're fine, but there's several that use an older method that uses a not so safe form of the chromium that goes toxic when lasered...modern and more standard chrome tan use a different form that's safe to laser. I'd researched that a bit ago when I lasered out a few maps on a laser etcher as gifts. Just don't go cheap for the leather and you're fine as most suppliers use the standard type, but you can get some cheap import ones that aren't so good there.

    Just goes to show that projects don't have to be big or complicated to be cool and useful. Love this channel!

    #tree #crack I've been cracking whips for 14 years now since I was 8 and now I finally have a friend group that is bringing me into their dnd world too. I just finished creating my character Belreak Brushwood. He's a himbo half elf rogue for lack of better words and he has a bullwhip. This would be something amazing to add to my kit whenever I get to cosplay Belreak at a larp or something!

  • @KristinMoran

    In the SCA a lot of belt favors are cloth - my favorite has small pockets sewn in so you can carry useful items. It was gifted to me from another retainer, containing bits & bobs I might need while retaining for royalty or my baron/baroness. That leather #Tree design is sharp!

  • @beckymurphy4714
    @beckymurphy4714 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think when I take a #crack at making those lanterns I'll do each #tree as a different season, and maybe use tinted resin for the "glass." They'd make neat holiday gifts.

  • @Lillyluri
    @Lillyluri ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Congratulations on the laser cutter! I hope you won't forget to keep reminding us of how to do things by hand, considering the motivating effect of this channel comes in large part from _anyone can cook._
    But it's so sweet how you have a way of shortening repetitive tasks, or making many more copies of something. Or just making neat and nifty things.

  • @johnmcnamara9716
    @johnmcnamara9716 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you so much skill tree
    I am a disabled veteran getting in to doing your projects... Thank you it has help me during some hard times. And now doing leather projects of my own....i love leveling up my skills by watching you...safe travels.

  • @Sherwood-TN
    @Sherwood-TN ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Sir, you've inspired me to go from a guy who just goes to work and plays video games as my entire life, to actually making things with my hands and getting out in the world to enjoy them. Thank you! And these videos just keep getting better and better. Keep em coming! #TREE!

  • @magistermurray
    @magistermurray ปีที่แล้ว +1

    #tree. I love all the projects and Clever’s energy is intoxicating. It’s always a treat for my daughter and me to watch the videos together. Thanks for the great content.

  • @streetsgamer42

    As someone with no crafting talent, I love watching those with talent make beautiful projects like the #Tree. Love the channel!

  • @TeenieBee72
    @TeenieBee72 ปีที่แล้ว

    I spent multiple hours with a, manual, die cutting machine making paper lanterns for Christmas decorations. I used 90gsm parchment paper for the windows instead of tissue paper. #Tree I would love to wear your badge over on the Scottish side of the Atlantic!

  • @nathanfolsom6172
    @nathanfolsom6172 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Thank you so much for inspiring all us self-proclaimed nerds. The amount of joy I felt when I just made the little health potions props, or the anticipation as I prepare to make a wand holster, there are no words. You guys are awesome and you send my imagination spinning in all the right directions for fun projects. As I work on a really tight budget, little projects like these are super cool and are often some of my favorite episodes. Thank you so much for all the great work you guys do. #crack, #tree

    For outside defusing material, one option is the thin foam sheet you use to wrap dishes when you're moving. It's definitely water resistant. Haven't checked if it's waterproof but I will in the next couple of days!

  • @alisha8705
    @alisha8705 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Belt favors are so fun. I appreciate that you show multiple ways to do a project and incorporate the equipment you have available to you. #TREE

  • @mjollnir613
    @mjollnir613 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    A good tip I've found when engraving slate is to hit it with a clear lacquer first. It darkens the slate and really makes the engraving pop.

  • @Crowe_26
    @Crowe_26 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I know you talked about a weatherproof variant for the lantern but I can only think about them melting into the mud XD
    And the #TREE badge looks awesome!

  • @jessicargruendler
    @jessicargruendler ปีที่แล้ว +1

    #TREE I love how sometimes its the little, simple items that put the feather in your cap, so to speak. It can bring everything together and is the cherry on top. I cannot think of a way to say this without euphemisms.

  • @ulrichsteenkamp4957
    @ulrichsteenkamp4957 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    I really love how you can make complicated things simple or easy to simple to understand and follow along with. It makes me want to #CRACK on and and make my own trinkets using the wisdom of the #TREE . Thank you.

  • @legocathedral3248

    Wow. The #tree lanterns are dead simple and I have some slate coasters that are in need of an upgrade!

  • @camille_la_chenille
    @camille_la_chenille ปีที่แล้ว

    these little cardboard lanterns are so cute and I will totally make some for my room. It'll really add to the "old timey" ambiance I try to achieve on a very small budget.

  • @MattProvance
    @MattProvance ปีที่แล้ว

    Sir! I suggest you purchase some 1x2x3 blocks. They are designed for machinists but they are heavy, dead square, and have threads you can screw things into. Excellent for weighing things down, or keeping things square to each other if, say, you need to hot glue them together.

  • @flmoose1
    @flmoose1 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hit the slate with a satin or matte clear coat prior to laser engraving. Makes It pop!

  • @leverettcrum7858

  • @kyranthewalker9095
    @kyranthewalker9095 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love how you split your projects both big and small into pretty simple straightforward steps. Helps demystify the process of crafting a lot of the projects.

    You could use the plastic off a milk bottle to make the light diffuser, for use outdoors

    Those lanterns would fit great in a tavern if you guys ever do get to run your own larp!

  • @melodycorser-weatherby299
    @melodycorser-weatherby299 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I love how you can brake down complicated things to simple or easy to understand steps that can be modified by what is available etc. #CRACK #TREE . Thank you.

  • @Phrogie
    @Phrogie ปีที่แล้ว

    Great timing, #tree... I have a symbol I need to make, and I didn't want to make a necklace. The belt favour will work perfectly. Thank you for the idea!

  • @captainpanda5533
    @captainpanda5533 ปีที่แล้ว

    Have you ever done any trapped boxes, or alarm mechanisms, or gadgets that can be set and disarmed? I'd love to see those kind of things!

  • @CalliopePony
    @CalliopePony ปีที่แล้ว

    If you want to make the lamp a little more durable but just as easy you could use sheer fabric instead of the tissue paper. Different weights and textures can give different diffusion effects.

  • @amilliyahdubrinsky1411
    @amilliyahdubrinsky1411 ปีที่แล้ว

    @madkat1287 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    #tree #crack Thank you for sharing everything you do. You have inspired me and stoked the spark for my own crafting. I also love how excited you get over a project. It cements my drive and allows me to crack on. Love and Light

  • @Sgt_Potato_1
    @Sgt_Potato_1 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think the little lantern could be a part of an even more cool project that would be pretty fun to try.
    Those paper lanterns that fly in the sky with a candle in them also work to just float depending on the weight. I'll try it to see if my theory works, but imagine attaching the lantern made of light basswood to a string and a rock or other weight. Then attach strings to a paper lantern large enough to float the smaller lantern with a few tea lights keeping it afloat.
    Bam. A floating lantern to place outside your larp tent with a lighted balloon above it! Great way to find your way back to your tent maybe?

  • @steampunkzorua4182
    @steampunkzorua4182 ปีที่แล้ว

    These are all so cool! Definitely plan on taking a #crack at those lanterns, they'd look great as decorations hanging from my #tree!

  • @DH-xw6jp
    @DH-xw6jp ปีที่แล้ว

    I made placards (for table seating, and buffet tags) for my mom's wedding out of those little slate coasters and metallic paint, but I never would have thought about lazer engraving a slate tablet!
    That looks so cool... Now i just need to find someone to make a stone replica of the Dragon Stone from Elder Scrolls V

  • @MinganLykos
    @MinganLykos ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like the idea of the tree badge! You should make a file to be printed / lasered for people to use!

    Always love these simple craft videos for there well though out designs for the casual viewer. Can't wait to see what project you come up with next #tree #crack

  • @Pikachu34545312
    @Pikachu34545312 ปีที่แล้ว

    if you are interested for the lantern project if you put a mirror in the bottom and top it will actually reflect the light and make it brighter so you can see a bit better

  • @Patrick-it8nk
    @Patrick-it8nk ปีที่แล้ว

    I can just imagine how satisfying the #crack would be spooking varmints off my property, and especially away from my chicken's run, with that beautiful piece! Would also be beautiful in some costume or cosplay. Great video as always, guys! Always a useful #tree of knowledge.

  • @porkchopulator
    @porkchopulator ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love the #TREE badge. I made a Star Trek one for a friend with magnets. That whip is some slick business, so I certainly wouldn't mind having a #CRACK at it.

  • @whoahanant
    @whoahanant ปีที่แล้ว

    There's also semi opaque diffusing foam. So if you don't want to use tissue paper or plastic ect, there's a white foam that's used to diffuse LED lights.

  • @nateddr
    @nateddr ปีที่แล้ว

    Absolutely love the new #tree logo, this rebranding is looking super sharp!! Also the #crack on that whip is perfection, would love to have that.

  • @kennpeters1973
    @kennpeters1973 ปีที่แล้ว

  • @oakmaiden2133
    @oakmaiden2133 ปีที่แล้ว

    Instead of a paper liner, up cycle a thin fabric scarf and get a stained glass look. The fabric can be sprayed with a clear coat to water proof your lantern.

  • @chillaxter13
    @chillaxter13 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm not all that crafty myself, yet... but with the help of the skill #tree I'm getting better all the time. Love these simple projects!

  • @ropeany1
    @ropeany1 ปีที่แล้ว

    Those all look great. One thing you can do with your slate engravings is to hit them with a little clear varnish to make the engravings pop a bit more.

  • @Casserole391
    @Casserole391 ปีที่แล้ว

    As a real life archaeologist I'm absolutely LIVING for all the little artifact themed things and my current character I'm workshopping is also one and so that has all been crazy nice to see #tree #crack we live 💅

    @ChaseG5908 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    #Tree
    I would really love to see what sort of concept and final design you could come up with for a Skill Tree championship belt. Like, I don't know if you're much of a wrestling fan but if you are it would be cool to see what you'd come up with. Plus it's a great opportunity to experiment with and showcase a ton of the skills already touched upon on this channel, like leather tooling and dyeing, metal casting and plating (I really want to learn how to do multi-type casting, like to plate the lip with gold/brass, the background with silver/nickel, and the logo with copper just as an example. The project would also be a chance to work on other skills like painting details/fill on metal as well as setting stones. Plus it's just really fun to walk around with one of these big honkin' belts over your shoulder. Like you just can't help but stand up a little straighter and strut a bit.

  • @adelinemarechal5539
    @adelinemarechal5539 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love your channel and I'm a big fan, because you do all by hand and we can follow you with a simple hammer and few tools. There are tons of videos about laser cutter, it's disappointing to find one here. I understand your excitement tho, these machines are great and having it for free is awesome.

  • @georgeveckungs8845
    @georgeveckungs8845 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the #Tree belt favours! Having one that stood out as much as that would have saved me from many a friendly fire incident.

  • @EricWagoner1
    @EricWagoner1 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love little things like this, even more than big showpiece projects that require using more of the #tree.

  • @Kirothak
    @Kirothak ปีที่แล้ว

    My maker skills lean towards digital fabrication. So 3d printing (resin and FDM) A bit of CNC, And LASER!
    My laser is by far my favorite toy haha. (OMTech 55watt) I am looking forward to seeing what else you come up with with your new laser.
    I love that slate coaster puzzle idea. Imma steal that for my pathfinder campaign. Pieces the party need to gather that have a corresponding physical hand out which is always fun.

    @KuraiLunae ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I can't wait to wear one of those belt patches, those look so cool! I might just have to make my own, with different sigils and crests... unless the #Tree wants to spare me the time on my first one...

    was honestly wondering when you were going to do more laser engraver projects so this is pretty cool to me. would also definitely like that #tree .

  • @ChaseG5908
    @ChaseG5908 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    It’s things like this that help build out the #TREE of creativity to fuel my own projects and ideas for games and ambitious projects. Doesn’t have to be a huge elaborate project (which are just as great) but something simple like this. So appreciative of this channel and community ❤

  • @syncringe1885
    @syncringe1885 ปีที่แล้ว

    The people who sent you the laser knows one thing about sales. Free ads can go a long ways where as sponsorships take way more than the initial product. Also sometimes good feedback comes from those it was given to rather than those who bought it and way better than those who you paid to call it good.

  • @chrisparkins5988

  • @EloraDragonwing87

    Honestly the new #Tree looks really good, keep up the good work

  • @tallires
    @tallires ปีที่แล้ว

    Really love this channel! And not that you keep doing really cool leather things or anything, but I am going to start making some smaller project of my own next week! Things like the #Tree seems doable (though I don't expect it to look as good on my first try, but that means I have a lot of possibilities to level up!).
    Also, that #crack was really nice! :D

  • @Ollysstarwarsprops
    @Ollysstarwarsprops ปีที่แล้ว

  • @kevinmcgregor4217
    @kevinmcgregor4217 ปีที่แล้ว

    That #TREE badge is awesome, I might have to make something like that for my clan. Also, you #CRACK that whip really well.

  • @mikehansford5597
    @mikehansford5597 ปีที่แล้ว

    Another 90 degree trick is to use lego bricks, easy 90, and you can build it up as tall as you need. For taking with the with you for LARP/Camping events, you can also glue the edges with a small piece of fabric or something flexible, so that they'll fold flat. Open them up, and put it on your base. You can also add a square bit smaller than the plinths to square them up.
    Also, I saw a smaller Glowforge at Joann's the other day... (just sayin'). I may have to take the plunge on that one.

  • @SvRijswijck

    I might just need to make a handful of them for our LARP.

  • @Gnawgahyde
    @Gnawgahyde ปีที่แล้ว

    I like the Skill Tree logo on the leather #tree it would look really cool as a type of badge! And the whip would be the perfect as a characters #crack weapon....the Skill Tree Marshal who whips the villains into shape!

  • @italianbookworm
    @italianbookworm ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Skill #tree has given me a lot of ideas for new projects and really inspired me on picking up leather working beyond the bag I made for faire out of scraps last year.
