How to Make Money Making Wall Art with a Cheap Desktop Laser

[@soulstitch18224]

It’s funny you did this vid 4yrs ago and I just started working with my laser along with fractal burning and this opens a whole new area I never knew could be done thanks for this inspiration.

[@Rood67]

Thank the algorithm for recommending this video. You have an amazing option for the lasers.

[@terventar]

Thanks a lot for sharing! It's an amazing technique!

[@justbeingmybestbob]

I just got my engraver, still setting up the location in my house, and you videos have just filled me with ideas!! Thank you so much for sharing these tips. Can't wait to get burnin'!! LOL

[@Nozoki]

This dude sounds like a dj from a rock station in the 1970's when I was a kid. Play some Skynyrd!

[@MrCharliejaera]

Hahahahaha EPIC comment 😂🤙🏼

[@TheEdgeofTech]

HAHA I used to be on the radio and I own a DJ/Entertainment business too. lol

[@TheEdgeofTech]

LOL

He needs a call in number to see Kizz this next weekend.

[@Nozoki]

@@TheEdgeofTech nice. You've got the voice for it.

[@MaryCartwright-cq7vb]

This has been SOOO helpful, I have a ton of artwork that I've made on paper that I want to burn on different surfaces and this is the first video I've seen that shows how to do it on canvas and with color. Thank you!

[@Repkord]

You my friend have become quite the laser master these days! Nice work!

[@johnhubbard6262]

I like that you let the paint dry on it's own terms, it's made to do that and some sheens, lusters, colors just don't develop as well if you rush it. Very nice.

[@daedelus_]

That's an amazing idea. Thanks for sharing the idea and techniques!

[@gokhanisler3740]

At the very beginning of the video, you said it is easy. So.. Im watching and will make a comment after watching!

[@gokhanisler3740]

1. It is not easy man 😅 Maybe it is easy for you 2. The whole process takes too much time. So it seems not viable. 3. The costs. So the price of the end product will be high due the costs. So with these costs how can one sell this great end product? 4. This could be an awesome hobby.

[@janosvamos2172]

Dude! Love the vid and thanks for the idea. Never thought about using canvas. This just opened up a whole world of possibilities. Guess I'll be spending time at hobby lobby tomorrow to give this a shot.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Awesome! I hope it turns out great!

[@teridoty4285]

Thank you. Just unboxed my D1 a week ago. Your instruction was super solid and I'm now on my way to having my first completed "hero" piece done. Seriously great instructions!!!!!

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Awesome machine! Glad I could help!

[@johnkaschak5055]

I just got a Nova 24 and you’re a life saver my friend! Thank you for sharing your content!

[@Lord_of_ChaoSan]

Very handy tutorial. Got this saved to my Personal Laser Playlist- just gotta get some spray-paint and I'll be ready to experiment- really looking forward to it!

[@JeffBenedict]

Great job. Awesome technique. One thing I do when I hang light weight items like that, i use push pins in the wall. Leaves a smaller hole that can be covered up the next time the wall is painted.

[@WolfQuantum]

I have canvases sitting around from the "poured acrylic" painting phase I never quite got started with after buying the stuff. LOL. So, this, I can do. Awesome.

[@harryragland7840]

Your laser content is really great. I just got my Ready2Laser 7 watt diode laser. It's enclosed and I'm working on getting it vented outside. I haven't done much with it yet but I can definitely see me trying some tiles. I may try your system on some painted wood too.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Awesome!! Let me now how it goes!! Thanks for watching!

[@theodoraughenu8467]

Awesome...really love the fight between Gandalf and the Balrog in the Mines of Moria

I have no idea what you just did, but, I love it. This was in my recommended, so, I watched. I'm sure I'll never do what you do, but, your video was very enjoyable. 😁👍🏻❤

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Ahh Thank you!! I Appreciate you watching!

[@OregonDARRYL]

Get a two part epoxy coating mix and pour it over the top about 1/16 thick.. fills the canvas grains and creates a smooth deep colored artwork. Try it... you'll like it... Make sure you level it first.

[@AmipazlimazJak]

I just discovered your video and now I can't wait to start creating my own wall art with a budget-friendly laser! 🎨🔥

[@AtomsLab]

I've been playing around with painted engravings on wood frames, I need to start experimenting on tiles and canvas :D Thanks for the video!

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Awesome! I hope you try it and love it! Thanks for watching!

[@quinettabrown8836]

This is the best I've seen yet. Awesome work. 💪🏾

[@thomasweich1751]

Thx, enjoyed it a lot, bought all stuff and needed to try it out. Color tile is really easy and the outcome quality is cool.

Dude! The little option to change it to Norton tile and have it change up the image like that is great info. I've been wondering how people easily render an image like that. I have no graphic skills. Thanks man! I'm subscribed and will watch more!

[@TheKatz2u]

That's awesome!! I ordered a laser today. I know what one of my first projects will be!!

[@CraigHollabaugh]

Great topic, script, process and editing. Thanks from Colorado.

[@andrewthomas4482]

how long did this take to burn please?

Thanks dude! I am just getting into the router cnc world and 2 weeks ago got myself a laser I subscribed

Dude! Your videos on the lasers are inspiring and so fun to watch. My laser is on its way from China and I can't wait for it to get here and get started on some stuff! Git Some Ye-Haw!

[@steveo3012]

Nice video. This is the first time I've seen it. Have you done more of these? Are there any other cool things like this you have?

[@johnscustom3898]

Wow so glad I cane across this awesome tutorial I'll be checking out your other vids!

[@Passionforfoodrecipes]

This is so freaking cool. Ordered everything I need to try it!

[@AnthonyGriz]

Have been considering getting a laser for a little while....think I just finally got convinced! That's awesome!

[@henrik.norberg]

If you resize the image after ImagR you wont get 1 pixel-line per line as it will be too many pixel-lines for the size. Resize in ImagR instead and it will work as intended (higher quality).

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Awesome! Great advise! I appreciate it! Thanks for watching!

[@benpeterson1405]

I am totally new to the world of laser engraving and stumbled across your video doing some research on what can be done. I have an Ortur 20W headed my way and your video is exactly the kind of stuff I'm looking to do. Absolute golden example!

[@MorsErslev]

Yes , good stuff, there is always one how know something more then one self 👍🙂. Btw. Do a cheaper 5-5.5W laser have the power to do this?

[@aarondavalon8985]

The lord of the rings scene was Gandalf the grey confronting the balrog on the bridge. Amazing 3d laser videos

[@TheEdgeofTech]

You got it! Thanks for watching!

[@tim6360]

This is a winner. Love it. So many ideas flowing at the moment!

[@trugbilddrachen]

This was great. How did I not see this before

[@LHA100]

It is fantastic. I keep watching over and over again. I have learned that laser reacts with zinc oxide that is in the paint to produce black color. I wonder how you get these astonishing colors. I appreciate your kind reply.

[@medic458]

Man, thank you for your video!! I’m new to engraving, rocking an XTool D1 and I tried your white canvas technique. Turned out pretty good for my first time! Thanks again!!

[@chrisblanshard247]

Got an Xtool too and want to try this. What speed and power settings did you use?

[@medic458]

@@chrisblanshard247 I have a D1 non-pro 20 W. I usually do 2400 speed and 45-55% power. Tiles I use my F1 at 100% power speed 200

I have 3 different clear coats in my garage and they all bubble a lot and don't coat evenly. Got the one you recommended in this video today and it's amazing.

[@3DGeekShow]

Here I can only make the orange appear! If I lower the power of the laser, it becomes very difficult to see the image! If I increase it, only the orange is left and the hottest parts the laser ends up piercing the screen. What am I doing wrong?

[@tm-dk1gq]

lol....i know......"You shall not pass" lol in the mines of Moria. Love your work mate keep it up!

[@3DHP]

Nice Work Jim,Great Video.

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Thanks 👍

[@goshko102]

Amazing tutorial, amazing work there. You helped me a lot putting my things together man. I just need to ask how the tile compares to canvas and how is it possible the settings to be the same considering the materials which are they made from? Is it something with the paint coating?

[@raioshine832]

Bruh this was awesome!!! ❤

[@hawaii50cowboy]

I'm very much impressed! Have you done more colors? For example, like a colorful Hawaiian sunset or A beautiful scene of Tropical fishes in the ocean?. It's probably possible but much more work is required eh? You did a great job of opening the door for me on Laser Art. Mahalo!

[@GuysLightburnLaserGuides]

Anymore videos planned bro, coz they are epic and yours are the most informative. Looking forward to the next one. You'll really help me on my amateur journey bro

Thanks man!! Of course there are more coming!

[@robinbishop4889]

Thank u so much for this video! U explain thing so well and very thorough. I did have one ?. When working with paint while burning; does it get all over your laser? If so, how do u clean it? Sorry for any dumb questions, lol I’m a newby here and literally just got my diode laser today and haven’t even set it up yet! :)

[@RGCbaseace]

Simply awesomeness 👌

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Thanks for watching!

[@edge2k2]

I watched your magic number video as well as this. Have you developed good rule of thumb of how to up it for the multiple colors?

[@TheEdgeofTech]

I just test every time. You just never know when a paint is going to be different or what colors you want. So for me it's easier to paint the colors I'm going to use in the order. I'm going to use them and then do a quick test.

[@sahanpanditharathne2765]

This really is an awesome technique and i am definitely going to do this. I also wanted to sell these but then i realized that there are people digital printing on canvas 😢 Cannot compete with that 😢

[@BobBob-eh5sb]

Just happened across this video. Great helpful info. Got yourself another subscriber!

[@MsMymiracle]

I'm going to try this tonight!

[@fozbstudios]

Just found your channel. So neat and it’s convinced me a laser cutter engraver is how I’m going to revive a dead 3D printer (3-4mm bed bow no replacement parts, already crappy) I have several questions, feel free to answer only some of them 1. What should I google to get more info on this technique 2. Is there a limit to how many different colors you can use 3. Is there a power floor/ceiling this works with? I’m thinking of getting an L cheapo mk7 which has a lot more power? 4. Have you found any medium(paint or surface) this won’t work on? Subscribed! Great work!

[@TheEdgeofTech]

Hi! I get a lot of my info from the facebook groups I am in. I would find some of those to start! You can do as many colors as you want in and fashion that you want. So they don't have to be overlapped, the colors could be next to each other too! This should work with any diode laser, but you may have to adjust power and speed. Also, maybe several passes may need to be used.

[@LenHarms]

This is very cool, would like to try it on ceramic tiles.

[@kevinjones6924]

Jim, so cool! Thanks for the entertainment 😉 and inspirational video! Can't wait to try it 😊😊

[@TheOleHermit]

Very cool! A spot in the middle of my 4K TV (after burning through a flame resistant screen) is the only thing I've burned with my 3 watt RGB projectors. I'll try this instead. Looks far more rewarding. 🙂

[@martinsmith3047]

Great instruction videos ... Brilliant ... thanks a million

[@robertclevenger3193]

Hey Jim, I know this video has been out for a while, but I just got my laser engraver in November. Ortur laser master 3 10w. I painted up a canvas, and made a tear area on a second one to find the magic number. I actually had to stop the test and drop the max power down even lower, and it turned out to be 3.5% max power. Do you remember if you had to go that low on canvases? I know your ceramic tiles are around 15% from your other video, so I thought this was really really low for some reason.

[@gary111498]

[@mervfer1162]

I know this is an older video as I've been exploring the world of laser cutting/engraving just this week. I thought this is one of the coolest ideas to get different colors into a laser engraved item. I'm a photography guy so obviously familiar with canvas. Other popular media options for mounting photographs are acrylic and metal. Have you tried painting layers of color into either acrylic or metal and them laser engrave an image? I also think with acrylic you could start with a different color and also use backlighting with translucent acrylic depending on the paint. Would be interesting to see if anyone has tried this.
