[@qi9189]

will this work using a cricut maker 3? LOVE THIS

[@wileycovington4497]

You just taught me something I was struggling with. Trying to get an outline without the laser trying to engrave or cut it because it's dark. Thank you!!

[@marlene1964]

I just watched your video on a add so add another one to your subs lol. I can’t wait to watch all of your videos

[@TroytheMaker]

I appreciate it more than you think!

[@christykiblinger7003]

Love this!!!! Great job!!!! You make it look super easy!!!! I would love to have one for my granddaughter, Charleigh!!!!💕 Thanks for sharing!🌻 Christy

[@reniebee1231]

you are amazing I made jewelry with leather but more like pleather LOL does is cut the fake leather I make jewerlry pieces too and you have stepped it up with the knowledge. Keep up the good work the way you teach is straight to the point I LOVE IT!!!

[@TroytheMaker]

Yes the Glowforge will cut and engrave on leather. I have been told some fake leathers produce harmful fumes when used in a laser so I would say you have to have a well ventilated area.

[@reniebee1231]

@@TroytheMaker Thanks Troy I am really really interested in getting the GLOW FORGE once my funds are right you will be getting props and another payment from me for sure. Keep up your amazing video's you will be hearing from me often LOL... (smile)!!

[@sassywilliams5341]

i totally agree

[@cenethiataylor7760]

Hi, I'm interested in making the jewelry. I noticed that you used two items. Could you accomplish the same thing just using one cricket?

[@badchunky1]

Excellent video!

[@TroytheMaker]

Thank You!

[@sulu165]

Thank you for your videos!

[@TheLeah2344]

You convinced me. I’m getting a Glowforge.

Don't know whether to be excited or upset that I just spent all that money, but just ordered a Glowforge using your code. Thanks.

[@TroytheMaker]

Wow! Thanks a Million! I know the feelings. I’m happy I pulled the plug on getting mines. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mines.

[@HOOSIE6]

Congratulations!! Which one did you get?

[@oldguyandhisdog9560]

HOOSIE6 I purchased the pro. Where I have it the temps get a little hot and I thought the extra cooling might help.

[@s7powell87]

Hi Troy👋🏽! I first saw you on Social Media advertising for the Glow Forge and I told myself I was going to get me one of those. So today I was looking up vids on materials needed to make jewelry and guess who popped up....yes sir MR Troy, lol. I’m like I know him I know that face, let me check his channel out. And let me tell you the way you explained how to do your jewelry was thorough and it came out ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, I L❤️ VED IT!!🙂 You inspired me to invest in my own Glow Forge to help me make jewelry as well. Thank you for this vid and yes I already subscribed.😉👍🏽

[@TroytheMaker]

Wow! I love these types of comments! These are the ones that keep me going. I appreciate it more than you think! I hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mines.

[@olayvonne1720]

[@nitathomas1691]

Excellent.

[@quillerquiller8963]

Another great tutorial. I’m new to this ... looking to make and sell jewelry using my GF., You introduced me to mirrored acrylic. I’m experimenting ... what type of glue do you use for mirrored acrylic ... e6000 is showing through mirror. Manufacturer said to use 3m double stick tape. Not sure it will work with small jewelry pieces. I want to glue mirrored acrylic to wood. Also ... what do you use to wrap and package mirrored jewelry so it doesn’t scratch while shipping? Thanks again!!!

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks. The mirrored acrylic I use have a solid colored backing. I use e6000 for backs and acrylic solvent for edges. Hope this helps. I haven’t tried 3M tape yet.

[@mosesdavies8302]

What's the material u used to make the chain.. metal, stainless steel or what?

[@gohardorgohomesp]

So dope thank you for sharing! I love 💯 your channel and always excited about new videos

could you saggest me any other laser printer becuse this is finished and your videos is very inpaire thank you

[@billxro6954]

i mean any printer can cut metal like this

[@TroytheMaker]

Honestly, I wish I could. I would have to have used it before or own to recommend other lasers.

[@shortemak1690]

Good job

[@Skinny_Buddha13]

Bro. How did I just find you. You are a god

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks for watching! I wouldn’t say all that! Haha

[@MakerCuisine]

Hey Troy, great video! Love how you went through the steps on how you got the text to vector and how you added the holes for the chain, very helpful and impressive.

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks a Million! You're welcome. I'm glad I can help.

[@tweetybird052010]

Looks good. Could you have extended the "i" in Christiana and then added a curved line or something at the top to make it look like an "i" when you cut it? Also do you take custom orders?

[@TroytheMaker]

Good observation. What I ended up doing trying way after this video was connecting the dot to the line, but engraved in between to give it separation.

[@mariayuliet3455]

I want to buy a Glow Forge for jewelry making, do you know if you can use precious metals such as gold for name plates ?

[@TroytheMaker]

No it will not cut gold, stainless steel, etc..

[@ANGERmgmt843]

Do you know what will cut through gold?

[@candicesherman4776]

It won't cut thru? But it will engrave it?

[@CWells-pd4nb]

@@TroytheMaker It won't cut gold, stainless steel, etc but can it engrave those metals?

[@angielucas6287]

Awesome love it❤👍👍👍

[@kustomkreationzdesignzco1804]

Just ordered my materials, GF eta is Oct 8. Is that the original wrapping on your acrylic while it’s cutting?

[@TroytheMaker]

Acrylic from GF yes. That mirror gold no. I masked it myself.

[@TheLeaks90]

Omg I been looking around for something Like this for yearssssss! Do you have the Pro or the regular GeorgeFlow printer. Thank you so much! I have an understanding of everything. Keep making videos!

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks a Million! Glad you found me. I have a Glowforge Basic.

[@shontaebarron8359]

Awesome tutorial!!! Thank you for sharing!!! Where do you get the chain?

[@TroytheMaker]

In the description. Thanks a Million!

[@PorschaRenee]

Are there any less expensive lasers that you recommend ??

[@TroytheMaker]

Yes, but are they any good? I don't know.

[@marialenabartley9506]

I really want to start making jewelry. But idk where to start. Where do I get the chains and other things to start? What should I use?

[@TroytheMaker]

I would start with learning a graphic software like Coreldraw, adobe illustrator, or Inkscape (free). I use Coreldraw.

[@cay91]

Dope work!🔥

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks a Million!

[@bubbleheadification]

Does it work well with a much smaller design?

[@TroytheMaker]

Yeah but the small the mirror gold get it start to look transparent. I believe it how it made or something.

[@lolsmileyface62698]

Hey! Does this machine also work on gold filled jewelry?? Like gold filled blank bars?

[@TroytheMaker]

Hey. No it won't work on gold.

[@peter1592009]

Great videos.

[@TroytheMaker]

Thanks!

[@harmonynorris8081]

Does the machine fill in the name plate with the acrylic?

[@TroytheMaker]

If you design it like that in your graphic software program. I prefer it filled in myself.

[@StormInDiDormEntertainment]

Lemmi get dat chain dawg. My last name is Mallory 😎

[@teonawilliams2448]

Do the chains tarnish after a while Troy?

[@TroytheMaker]

Yeah. Especially if you sweat a a lot or get it wet.

[@chantellewinters8205]

Hello Troy would like to know if u sold any of your jewelry and if so price ranges. Please

[@TroytheMaker]

Depends on the design I have sold single charms from $10 to $100.

[@kenncabanero]

Been doing research while waiting for my machine to arrive and love your videos!! For acrylics, where is a good place to buy it from?

[@TroytheMaker]

I buy from a local plastic supply company. It saves on shipping. Everywhere I have search online seems to be around the same price. You find any please let me know.

[@laurettalauer1133]

Do you use the pro? Trying to get me a machine but there are alot, want to be sure I'm getting the right one for name plates 🥰

[@TroytheMaker]

I have a basic but wish I brought the pro.

[@d.a.s6988]

love the video

[@davidspriggs2940]

Troy, I enjoy your KZbin videos. I think, however, that you might enclude the Glowforge power and speed settings you use for your work. Great job!

[@TroytheMaker]

Noted.

[@RonWaller]

Hey Troy, question for you. I am not a Corel user, but I am curious ....when you convert to curves you have a vector, so why do you turn into a bitmap to turn it back into a vector? I could be wrong but check your wireframe after you "convert to curves". Again curious and this could save you a few steps....maybe lol

[@TroytheMaker]

I do that to add a "connector" for the jump rings. Sometimes the covert to vector removes the insides of certain letters like the O or B making it solid so making a copy and doing helps with those letters. I hope that make sense.

[@atabulentturantekin153]

Hi there ! Your videos are educational and instructive. I have a question and I would be glad if you answer. Can I make these necklaces you made with this machine CNC 3018 Pro Engraving Machine Kit ?

[@TroytheMaker]

To be honest I don't know, but if it is designed right in the software for your machine I pretty sure you can make it happen.

[@mosesdavies8302]

Which machine are you using and what is the thickness of the metal?

Can you use photoshop to create the design as well?

Didn't tell us what's a glow Forge or whatever you said similar to that where it is cutting out the letters. What is that machine called and by the way you go kind of fast with the explanation of it but thank you
