Yes, we work with a lot of non-proofgrade materials (and where to purchase them). We are planning a ton of live weekend workshops to dive deeper in the techniques/materials found in this video. I'm also always happy to do a 1:1 Zoom session if that's helpful. Also, here is my own list of non-proofgrade settings that I've created: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NAokOhtmSgbHMK4tKR9iXOBC7eTOmXQgVgS49QMq0SI/edit

@@JohnKuiphoff Great. Thanks.

Thanks, Kel!

Thanks!!! Your kind words give me motivation to make more videos.

Thanks so much, Jonathan! Yeah, I even filmed more but the video was already pretty long.

I never would have thought about engraving soap!

Thanks so much! I appreciate you taking the time to watch the video :)

Thank you! If you need any guidance on lasers, let me know. I now own 7 of them. Ha! The colored stripes were purchased from roarocket (a skateboard company). Marwood is another place you can get them. These strips are dyed all of the way through. It’s difficult to dye it yourself as the dye will likely not penetrate the whole strip (I’ve tried a few different methods with much success). I’m going to release a video about making laserable plywood that takes all of this to next level in about two weeks. Thanks again!

I engraved the Corian with my Glowforge. However, it was cut using my CNC machine. You might be able to cut it with a laser, but it would probably take a few passes.

Ha! I’m using the Aura tonight to cut out paper templates for this hockey mask thing. The Aura is much different than my 100 watt Thunder Nova for sure. The Thunder is a powerhouse. It’s my industrial business machine. The Aura is little slower and has a bit less power :) But, the Aura is a fun machine to use and good for beginners and light/quick cuts. I use them for totally different things. Yesterday, my mom told me that she was thinking of getting one and was surprised to learn I already had one.

Ha! It’s the best sanding shirt I own :)

The man. The legend. David P.

I'd try the 3M 468MP - it sounds like a neat project :)

Thank you! I really appreciate it! The new space makes things easy for recording content (except for the echo - ha!). I'm planning to upload a new video once every two weeks or so (and maybe a live stream session once a month).

@@JohnKuiphoff fantastic news John. Be more active!

Thanks, Jodi! I'm excited for the next video, too. ha!

Thanks so much! Yes, it really is a dream workspace and I'm very picky about what tools I bring in (although a ton of tools are crammed into the makeshift closet I made behind that plank wall). I'm renting the space in a big building with four other makers. They're all really great to have around. You can see Ed, the landlord, poking his head in to chat about midway through the video. ha!

Thank you very much! Yes, I'm so excited about the new space. I'm still working out the weird kinks, but the studio is an absolute dream to work in.

Thank you, David!!! I really appreciate it ❤❤❤

Yes, I used four coats of an exterior Krylon finish. I originally had a entire segment in the video on sealing but it got cut because it was super boring (you can see the can between the two Glowforge lasers).
