I've only got barely halfway through this and already see two different items I'm already making with my laser. The flowers and the standing display with the people and hearts and message. The display one I started making when I did one for my anniversary and it made my wife cry she loved it so much! And I'm TOTALLY making some of those trays!
Some really good stuff there. The I Love You tray I would think would sell anytime. The candy box is pretty cool idea that can morph into a few things…Change the heart to a house and you have a house warming gift to market to realtors. I enjoy the Thursday night chats. Keep up the good work!

Hey Andy thanks for more great content. I'm still getting familiar with my first cnc this week so I expect I won't make the valentines day rush this year but your videos have been hugely helpful as I climb the learning curve
Off subject but I have had my Spider laser 4 months and still havent been able to make anything. One day it works the next day something different happens
Quotes ok, personalized, if it’s a gift for someone you already know. Quotes and such work for anybody and can be made ahead of sale. Personalized for selling would have to be preordered, then made and shipped or whatever. Maybe just batch out some generic ones, then when sold, in person or shipped, let them know that you can personalize future orders.
The first 5 are inspiration for what to make. You may be able to find files for them online, but I only can offer the files for the project that I made
@andybirdbuilds So I got the tray file but it looks different then the first one you have in the video. It's just text all the same sizes and the heart isn't there. It is like what you show later in the video though.
@@AndyBirdBuildsyeah I realized that, but when you first showed a tray in the video, it was different and I hadn’t looked close at the one you used thinking it was the same one.
The I Love You tray ... $25 in my area. People have become pretty frugal these days. So, not worth the time and materials in my area. Profit? Bwahaha! I'm going out of business this year!
Yes it is. But I decided to leave it alone because of the risk of someone else trying to do it and running into the walls of the tray. Since a lot of my viewers are beginners, 5 minutes isn't worth the risk of messing up a project over.

Wow. Fantastic. Thinking of converting the heart shaped box into a jewelry gift box.

Do you have a link for the first tree with the heart?
Where did you find the file for the roses?
Etsy

That's what I do. I usually will make personalized for my wife and I and then use those to show what can be done. Bonus is my wife gets tons of stuff.
Andy, where can I get the files for the first five projects? IDK, maybe I missed something in the video.

The file is the exact file I used to make my tray.

Seriously?? Wow, that's terrible.
Maybe find a better gift shop to carry your items
Yep, Selling wholesale is not working for me. Then again, Retail is even worse!@@johnagorman
On the engraved tray, your retract height between letters is way too high. That's a lot of lost time
Yes it is. But I decided to leave it alone because of the risk of someone else trying to do it and running into the walls of the tray. Since a lot of my viewers are beginners, 5 minutes isn't worth the risk of messing up a project over.
@@AndyBirdBuilds very valid point
