[@amandamiller3379]

Appreciate the video! Love when folks show the cut/layer specs on different projects. It’s helpful for us just getting into it! Great patch!

[@wrightswoodworks]

Thank you for the feedback. Greatly appreciated.

[@steeloink]

that's a great video. would like to explore this hat patching stuff lol.

[@albertoomar819]

Awesome video. I’m starting my leather patches hat Buisness. Good tips

[@NUHUH323]

Do you have a link directly to the leatherette color/type you used? Or a number I can search on the site you linked please? Thank you! Hat looks amazing!

[@markvarner947]

Thanks for doing this Josh. I'm definitely spending more money lol

[@mikeburns7385]

Hi Josh, I use a 3mm birchwood on top of my honeycomb work bed. I then do my engraving material on top. What adjustments do I need to make in Lightburn? I have changed the Z focus to 14 to compensate for the 3mm. Is that correct? Also do you have power settings luck with the metallic leatherette patches? I am going to order some sheets to do material tests. Thanks. I use a polar 350

[@mrdobbythechief1594]

How’d you choose the laser that you bought?

[@MikesLife87]

How long did it take to engrave that one patch? I have the 50W and I’m still learning how to use it. It took me about anywhere from 10 to 12 minutes to engrave 2x2 inch veg tan parch. My Settings were 300 speed and 14% power. How long does it take you to engrave up to 20 patches in one go? Thanks. Love the videos 🙌🏼

[@graphicwarehousellcpassion3194]

Great work brother. Where can I find the leatherette to buy? Appreciate you!

[@mikeburns7385]

How long was the cut and fill time on this? I have exact settings and it is saying 7 minutes? Polar 350, trying to figure this thing out :) Thanks

[@falures]

do they hold up due to being heat pressed on?

[@troyjasmin363]

Which version of LA Totally Awesome. There appeared to be a couple versions of it. Thanks.

[@fireoracle]

Looks great! Thanks for sharing.

[@hellobobby]

Looks great - love the magnet trick you did on the honeycomb. Up until this point I have been using painters tape to keep the leather tight - your way is much better! Hat came out great too.

[@creeksidecustomsky]

WHAT ARE YOUR FOCUS SETTINGS.

[@surgev9951]

Great video, very informative. Looks awesome!

Magnets lol. Why haven't I seen that yet. Awesome video, keep up the great work 👍 Subscribed forsure

[@Aztshirts]

how long does the patch stay on? had any feedback from past orders?

[@tannerleftwich3799]

What kind of adhesive is that?

[@carlettokana1359]

what is the adhesive you use?

[@wrightswoodworks]

The adhesive is already on the back of the leatherette. I getting it from JDS

Great video

[@Kristhecreative]

Thank you so much! I have been very interested in the adhesive leatherette and you just sold me on it! :)

[@carmellamongiardo36]

Could you give a source for the leather? I have 80 hats sitting here - my son wants logo patches for his company! I have a hat press as well.

Nice video! What size leather do you use? 2-4oz?

[@elishacall1693]

Where did you buy those magnets?

[@bftv2940]

I thought you sent supposed to engrave leatherette with co2 lasers?

[@jrhodes3216]

Exactly what I was thinking as well … but the vendor website lists laserable leatherette and all sorts of template products so I guess someone smart has figured out how to remove the evil chemicals and replace them with some thing that won’t kill us when it burns! Isn’t science wonderful?! 🤣

[@alexnadeaupelletier2287]

unplug the air assist tube from the head before engraving then pause and plug it back before cutting, you will not have to clean in between engraving and cutting

[@harryhanson6660]

can't you just set lightburn to turn it on/off for you during the process?

[@alexnadeaupelletier2287]

@@harryhanson6660 if you're using lightburn yes you can do that, but need a solenoid valve controlled by the controller which is not included in the machine from the factory

[@harryhanson6660]

@@alexnadeaupelletier2287 Oh, you're kidding! I just ordered a Polar and didn't realize that. Thank you for the heads up!

[@harryhanson6660]

@@alexnadeaupelletier2287 That's not correct. I just bought a Polar and I can confirm the settings in LIghtburn work, and the Polar can turn the air assist off/on per line.

[@forster46]

Awesome video, will definitely be trying this. How thick of leatherette are you using? Maybe you mentioned it and I missed it.

[@elishacall1693]

Great video! Thanks!

[@rickvestuto]

Great Video Have you seen the Hotronix 360 IQ Hat Heat Press by STAHLS ?? The lower platten gets hot too regards Rick

[@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs]

They also cost about 10x as much as the heat press he's using.

[@rickvestuto]

@@AndTheCorrectAnswerIs Yes an sooooo worth it We had the conventional Hat press for years then the IQ came out and now we can press any hat Twice the speed and no frustration When your doing 1000+ hat it makes the differance

Excellent resource thanks Wrights Woodworks

[@basekreations]

Thank you for doing this video! Great help for a newbie!!!

[@timbarnett3898]

Josh, my family made party cakes like birthday an wedding cakes. Is that a Harley Davidson patch you made? Back in time, with no copy machines, I drew almost everything for cake displays. But I couldn't draw any "Disney", characters like," Mickey Mouse" or other copy righted signage, so not too be sued by big companies. An Harley Davidson is very strict in copyright laws. Even Harley exhaust sounds is copyrighted. Be careful making Harley or other big company signs without permission, an they won't give permission!

[@wrightswoodworks]

This isn’t a Harley logo…. Not even close. Might have commented on the wrong video.

[@dwaynewarner7995]

You have a amazing personality! Do not waste your time > P R O M O S M !!!

[@OlivePaul-t9e]

Has anyone had this work for them? I'm on the same OMTech machine, bought the exact same leatherettes (from JDS) and when I try to clean off the leatherette (same method), it leaves large dark splotches around the engraved sections (it almost looks like the leatherette is soaking up the cleaner?) I've tried changing the power/speed and so far i'm 0 for 16 on leather patches. @Wright's Woodworks, have you seen this?
