👍👍👍

[@fathogwoodworking]

Thank you.

[@fiveduckstudio]

Great video! A Laser is a great tool, I love using it to make templates.

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@fiveduckstudio thank you! I think I would be really stuck without it now. Thanks for watching.

[@DIY_Projects_Tech]

Great video and love the laser unit. Great workshop 👍👌

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@DIY_Projects_Tech thanks. I would be lost without the laser now. I’ve got a few of your videos lined up to watch over the weekend to keep me busy.

[@No1projects]

Nicely put together vid Ross 👏😊

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@No1projects thanks Glenn. I’m trying to get better at the video and editing side, a bit of experimentation with angles and framing some shots. Hopefully it’s improving them a little bit. Thanks for watching.

[@JayCreatesWoodworks]

Saves time and money as well as being able to charge a little more for personalization. Thanks for the info! I would love one but I need to make some space first...

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@JayCreatesWoodworks yea I’m losing the space battle at the moment. Another workshop refit may be on the cards this winter for me.

[@Last-Breath-Woodworks]

Great timing on this video. I broke down and bought a laser almost 3 months ago, but it's still in the boxes. Guess it's time to put it together and make it useful 👍

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@Last-Breath-Woodworks you won’t look back. I’m very basic with tech but they are not that hard. Good look and I hope to see what you have used it for in the near future. Thanks for watching.

[@Greyotterstudio]

Really enjoyed the pace and humour in this video - and interesting about the laser, I’ve been weighing one up to personalise gifts for a while - still on the fence but this helped thank you

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@Greyotterstudio I sat for a year deciding weather to pull the trigger and get one. I honestly can’t see me doing without one. It’s the little things like templates where it save so much time. The engravings cool also. Thanks for watching.

[@EthanBuilds]

Great video! looks like a good investment. Maybe someday I'll able to get one.

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@EthanBuilds thanks Ethan. I had to save a while for one but was worth it. Thank you for watching.

[@karlpopewoodcraft]

I like the cheese board 😋 we have a grand total of 4 lazers now😂 but we love them.

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@karlpopewoodcraft thanks Karl. I like the cheese one too, especially when it’s full of cheese. I don’t think I would be without it now. Thanks, as always, for watching and your comments.

[@briansbuildsandoutdoors4936]

Great video Ross. I have to say the quality of your videos has improved out of sight mate, good on ya. I just upgraded to a more powerful laser to make cutting more efficient but I agree with you, they are a great addition to the workshop. Anyway, keep up the good work and all the best.

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@briansbuildsandoutdoors4936 thank you for the kind words Brian. I’ve been trying harder with the editing side. Thank you for watching.

[@FixitFingers]

Is a tool to be used and abused! They all must pay for themselves :) Congrats on 800 subs!

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@FixitFingers it’s a great tool. Cheers- I’ve been hovering around the late 700’s for a while so it was good to get over the line.

[@Saw-IT]

Hey Ross, really interesting video, I have always wanted a laser to put a logos on projects etc, I am sure i would find heaps of uses after buying one. I think it was Fixit fingers who said he gets laser manufacturers solicit him relentlessly to try theirs. Fick them our way James lol.

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@Saw-IT I sat on the fence for so long, they are expensive and I have very limited IT skills. But I’ve genuinely loved having one and couldn’t imagine may workshop without one.

[@wilmerwoodworks]

Great video I love my laser for customizing projects. I have an odd question what type of microphone do you use for your videos?

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@wilmerwoodworks thanks for watching, I’m lost without my laser now. The microphone is a £20 iPhone microphone from Amazon. I do all my recording onto my phone and this just plugs in. Seems a lot better than just my phone being a few meters away.

[@MadebyShea854]

So...which laser do you use Ross ?

[@fathogwoodworking]

@@MadebyShea854 it’s a Sculpfun S10. It’s pretty much plug and play once you bolt it together. I use Light burn as the operating software.

[@MadebyShea854]

@@fathogwoodworking Thank you. No plans for getting one in 2024, but you never know what the future holds.
