I’m so happy to see another crafter get to know this handy little machine. I’ve always wondered about lasering concrete things - thank you for showing the possibilities!
I saw this tool first on Instagram from you and decided it was worth a try! I’ll be doing a future one showing the rotary tool engraving concrete. Thanks for watching, Jerika!
I love the colours of those jars, and the laser printing looks amazing.
Wow, I need to get one of these! I love the results! Thanks so much!!
Glad this one was helpful!! Thanks for commenting :)
OMG BONUS VIDEO FOR ME !!! I have 3 in my Amazon cart. Haven't decided yet.
It is my dream to have a laser engraving machine!
Thanks for sharing this video. I have seen ads for Xtool and Glow Forge for a good while now. I have had cold feet on purchasing because I wanted to do more research and see more content first. I love what the way you do things. I'm camera shy which is why I'm hesitant towards doing videos when I create. You are definitely inspiring me to liquidate my basic brand that I was building and to move forward sooner towards launching my luxury brands. I'm on a fixed income so I thought at first that starting basic would help establish me income to be able to fund my luxury brand. Sending you love and light always
Hi Allen
Are you going to be at the Arts Beats and Eats Fair coming up? I’m going with my daughter and was hoping to see you there.
I was going to by an Engraver this morning Allen. A $4,000. one. Maybe the one you bought will do! 😂
ooof that's a lot!! i thought this guy was expensive but relative to other lasers, i feel like this is a good value.
@@earthglowmay I ask how much and where you got it?
Looks so good on your products! Thanks for sharing!
I’m so glad you enjoyed, Kathy 😊
I love the way it looks!
Me too!! Thank you so much 😊
AWESOME! Have you seen the Water? resin that is certified by Fire safety ppl as heat proof and able to be used as candle vessels?
Glad you enjoyed, Georgiana! I haven’t heard of it but it sounds interesting. I might wonder though about the eco friendliness though…
Awwww this is amazing!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed!!😊
To high tech for me. Looks like your loving it.
Haha, it was a little intense at first but I know you could do it if you put your mind to it, Diane.

Super vidéo, merci à toi d'avoir faire tous ces exemples, moi j'ai la M1 et c'est une petite merveille
I’m glad you enjoyed this one, Christine! I’ll post more in the future. I had no idea so many of you would be interested :)
Jane from Peightons Place here. I am curious what the total cost was with the laser and air purifier. I am considering a laser and have been looking at this one as my space is limited. Would love to see more on this on patron.
I paid $400 for the smoke air purifier and the laser was on sale for like $1300. The glasses are around $40 and are essential in my opinion to protect your eyes. I will be happy to post more in the future on my adventures with this guy on Patreon. Thanks for letting me know you are intereste, Jane :)
I have been making candles for 4 years and I am wanting to put my logo on my metal and wood lids, will this machine do this for me?? Heavenly Scents Candle Co
Yup, I am confident that it can do both of those materials with ease. I can plan to do more videos on it in the future as well if you’re interested :). I’m learning as I go. I have no prior experience with lasers.
@@earthglowthank you so much for responding and yes I would love to see more videos!!😊
