I've watched this video so many times. The day you posted this I had decided not to get a Glowforge, then I turn this video on minutes later. That's a long drawn-out response to say, thanks for influencing me to get a Glowforge. It's been so much fun. I can't wait to see what else you do with it. Used the link so thanks for that discount too.
Yes!! I am so happy to see a video from you, it’s been a minute. Anyone else lol for real when he tossed that thing and you hear a cat? Genuinely was not expecting that 😂😂
@@BeeJayDeL hello master I'm sorry I don't know where to send you a letter so I had to ask the master here I'm from Hong Kong, the new year coming here according to our oriental culture is the year of the tiger Can master show an idea of a tiger in your style? I really want to learn this from you Thank so much master BJD Respect
Always so great! You’re the reason I started making coloring books. Now I’m stuck on getting people to see them. I try to abide by all the unspoken rules of not advertising my book/s. But I’m personally thanking you for at least getting me started!
For a little more accuracy on placing your art on the glowforge you can set your focus to the desired area then really snug up your art really close to the already cut out areas which will help you save material. Sweet video, Cheers!
That was great! You are so talented. I would love a glow forge. This was better view of how it work than some of their promo stuff. I like your Grogu collection!
I like how you don't talk about the extra cost and noise of the exhaust system and that material must be really fun to work with having huge bows in them.
Wow! The timing! I have been wanting a Glowforge for such a long time and finally got one, then I see your video!! Thanks for sharing the possibilities, and thank you for highlighting Procreate with it once again. I thought I would be using a vector tool, but this looks like it came out perfectly! Thank you so much for your inspiring videos!
First off, great video. Very educational and enjoyable to watch. This was the first time I have seen your channel and ever heard of or seen a Glowforge laser printer. As a fellow artist I agree that It definitely is super cool, but I can't help but think after pricing a Glowforge Pro model which is just around $ 6k with tax even with a $500 discount plus $239 per year for a premium membership and whatever they charge for each piece of wood or chosen material, that you could achieve similar results with like $20 or so worth of materials. If after you come up with your own design in Procreate and print it out at the precise size needed, used some kind of carbon paper or transfer paper of some kind (maybe there is some new kind of high tech version is out now), and you traced over the image onto your chosen piece of wood you could then go over the lines with marker, paint it to however you like, then use an inexpensive wood burning kit to slowly and carefully burn through the wood outside the outline of the design. I'm sure there are artists out there far more experienced and knowledgeable than I who could recommend much better tools, methods and creative ways to achieve what I am talking about, but there has to be a much, much more affordable option to getting similar results to what you did without the huge expense of a mammoth sized machine like the Glowforge and the added expense of all the extras you would need to purchase along with it. I mean does it even save you that much time considering you have to upload/download the files and it takes at least an hour to print it out? Just my 2 cents.
Man, in my country the only way to pay one of those machines would to work for it your entire life, great video tho, really entertaining! thanks for sharing!
I’m so incredibly jealous - you get simply the best toys! You’ve been really helpful when it comes to the business of art - are you planning on doing a more in-depth look at how this paid for itself? Do you think it would be possible to use print-on-demand options to begin with to soften the blow of the initial investment while also justifying it? Thanks for another awesome video.
Thanks for watching! I won’t be doing an in-depth look at my business approach to using the Glowforge- I offer some very niche products that took a lot of time and effort to research and design. People are too quick to copy and steal, so I can’t just put it out there in a video. Approaching it with a print on demand outlook is a good idea- combining that with offering personalized options is even better. 😉
@@BeeJayDeL I understand entirely, and I'm sorry you've had that experience (and that everything hasn't made you give up on the great community you've grown).
This is so dope! You’ve inspired me to pt my GF Basic to use to design earrings. I like the process of coloring with the paint markers and finishing with polyurethane spray!! Thank you for sharing your talent!!
@@BeeJayDeL I've been pondering for a while. Then saw your new studio setup, jealousy set in and then you do this 🤣 well now I have no choice haha does look amazing, I have a CNC but it's such a learning curve and I've snapped so many bits trying to use it. Would be awesome to have such a simple set up
I looked into CNCs and other lasers but the Glowforge seemed to be the most straightforward. (I hate spending months just trying to learn how to use something.) Sure, there is a little bit of a learning curve here, but it’s nowhere near the same as other options.
@@BeeJayDeL I don't mind a learning curve, but I hate breaking and replacing things while trying to learn hah gunna have a look after Christmas, theres no finance options for it in the UK 😅
I've painted on the same Glowforge basswood plywood with Posca pens, and I got bubbling and cracking on the surface in a few places... Any tips for avoiding this? I suspect the treatment coating that Glowforge puts on its plywood is at play, but looks like you left yours as is.
Thanks for the video. Awesome info as always. We are about to pull the trigger on buying a Glowforge but are still on the fence since i've seen lots of people having issues lately. I don't know if it's user error or what. Have you had any issues with yours?
@@BeeJayDeL some of the groups on FB for Glowforge my wife has noticed people complaining that they keep sending them back and getting replacements. My wife has been wanting one for a year now and when I saw your new studio video and I said ok if he’s got one then it’s worth it. Let’s do it. Lol but know she’s telling about the issues she’s been seeing in groups. So we are in limbo atm. I don’t know if it’s one specific thing or just people not running them correctly.
To be honest, I can see it being user error 9 times out of 10. I kid you not, there isn’t a single day that goes by that I don’t answer an email from someone who has bought one of my brush packs saying the download link doesn’t work, the file is bad, there are files missing, the files won’t open, etc. People just don’t take the time to read or watch videos to understand how to do something (and that’s with a digital file.) Add a piece of machinery into the equation? I cringe at thinking of people hopping into one of these machines if they are that type of person. There is a lot that can go wrong…but that shouldn’t happen if you pay attention and learn what to do/ what not to do. If a machine does fail due to user error, I doubt those people are going to publicly admit it in most cases too (taking responsibility means having to acknowledge you screwed up…and means Glowforge not covering the repair, lol!) Just my two cents 😉
This was super interesting. I had heard of glowforge before but it wasn’t super on my radar. They are more expensive than expected! If you’ve got an art business I can see the worth but ooh boy, sticker shock. I was only recently considering a cricut, but this is way more appealing as a product. Hmm. Thank you very much for the video!
Can definitely do a lot more with this than a Cricut but at a higher cost, for sure. Lots of possibilities and tons of ways to turn it into a full time business!
Hi, love your videos, I’ve been trying join your Facebook group ‘keep creating’ but it’s saying it’s unavailable, is there another way I can get involved? Thanks
I like the idea of the sketchboard but they are stupidity expensive and shipping is just ridiculous....so not until they ship from my country...just stupidly expensive and have been able to create a wood version with rare earth magnets and a router for far cheaper
TH-cam does have that in place…you have to disclose if a video is sponsored (meaning you got paid for it) or if you received the product for free…neither happened in this case. Paid for this myself and not sponsored by the company, but thanks for your unsolicited concern, lol.
Wait, so they bottlekneck your processing speeds if you dont sub basically? No wonder they requre you to use their servers and didn't build in a hardwire option, yikes lol.
WOW, ‘Proprietary materials’, premium membership and overprized products…. I sincerely hope ppl know theres plenty of high quality open source and/or affordable alternatives to these greedy cash-grabbing companies.
Proprietary materials that aren’t required….premium membership which isn’t required. Both are a time saving convenience. I have a friend that saved money with an “affordable” alternative…spent more in time trying learn how to successfully use it and more in money on wasted materials than if she would have bought a Glowforge (which she ended up doing.) You highly underestimate ease of use and what it can do to someone’s bottom line. 😉
Based on everything you said I don't think it's worth it, the company is not providing you everything even with premium.. I think that we as humans are accepting to easily stuff like these, the cost of the machine is tens of thousands of dollars + if you want something extra you have to pay extra + you have some extra tools so that extra is going to make your job easier BUT you have to pay extra for that and that is the problem with us , we are ok with that and we shouldn't be, that extra should be included when purchasing that pro version, all the tools should be included, basically you are getting nothing with that pro version bcoz you can't do some things if you don't have premium
Not the case at all- you misquoted price greatly…everything you need is included. Pro model is more due to the hardware of the machine. Premium doesn’t give you any extra machine-based features…solely software based that relies on GF’s servers.
Or better yet: transfer your sketch with transfer paper from a piece of paper you printed out, and draw directly on your wood panel. There, I saved you thousands of dollars. What a complete waste of money your 3D printer is. I bet you’re sponsored by them.
@@BeeJayDeL I never said it’s the same thing, I said it would save you thousands of dollars if you did it my way. The price tag of the printer doesn’t justify the outcome at all. Do what you will of course. Some people will buy anything without thinking about it. It’s like buying sand in the Sahara desert.

I learned more in this 15 minute video than I have watching any other video for Glowforge and Procreate!! Awesome!!
Thanks love your Videos and very interesting, I’m 12 and also like making Art your like my procreate idol.
Awww…thanks so much!
Dude, our relationship is going to cost me a fortune. You have all the cool gadgets that make me go 🤩. Great job! That little character is DOPE AF!
You say that, but I had to order a order a new MacBook Pro M1 Max after your video…so does that make us even? 😂😂😂
I’ve had my Glowforge for 4 years. Not a single regret. Amazing machine that I use for so many things.

Thank so much master BJD
Respect
That came out sweet! Crazy machine to
That's awesome, I spent ages looking at these a few months back but can't justify it at the moment.
Same…I had wanted one forever! So glad I finally pulled the trigger (just had to convince the wife first!)
@@BeeJayDeL haha, yes that's definitely not just an impulse buy 😄
Always love your videos. So honest about the review and cost. It's not actually splurging but an investment. The art is great as always!
Thanks! Yes, definitely an investment mindset with a purchase like this!
How have I not found your channel yet? Just subbed. This was such a. Fantastic video overview of sketch to cut
Thanks man! Subbed as well-you’ve got some great content!
Always so great! You’re the reason I started making coloring books. Now I’m stuck on getting people to see them. I try to abide by all the unspoken rules of not advertising my book/s. But I’m personally thanking you for at least getting me started!
You took the first step…that’s the important part!
Why not advertise your books?
Unbelievable, Mind blowing possibilities! Thanks for sharing!
Yea that looks really neat! Btw was missing you great videos, happy to see you again 😊 😀
Thanks so much! Been super busy, but it’s good to be back!
I love the way you explain the break down of how too...I want a glow forge so bad but will have to wait a bit.
It’s a great tool! Lots of possibilities!
thats sick dude
Thanks! Appreciate you watching!❤️
Badass man!!! Thanks for featuring the glow forge!

So glad to hear! Welcome to the channel and thanks!
I like how you don't talk about the extra cost and noise of the exhaust system and that material must be really fun to work with having huge bows in them.
I have it vented out a window…so what extra cost exactly? No bows in proofgrade, so I’m confused there as well, lol.
@@BeeJayDeL Can you show the exhaust? That tube pulls out the smoke? I can see the bow in your materials.
So cool !! Love the way this came out :) such a great tool to add so many more options to your art business for sure !!
Opened up a whole new world of possibilities! Appreciate you watching!
