[@kevincondo3994]

I just want to say I really appreciate the advice. I just built a shop and was planning on building JD's plasma table and this video just motivated me even more.

[@tinmanmetalworks]

@kevincondo3994 haha that's excellent. Its a fun thing to do.. and fairly easy to make money doing as well. I certainly enjoy it! And thank you !

[@kevincondo3994]

@@tinmanmetalworks I am happy if at first I just break even. Get some practice and acquire some more skill set, then maybe start making a small profit.

Ive been doing these for a while and in that time of learning i had literally no one willing to share anything in terms of advice, files, cutting, or advertising. I have it down now but its great to see im not the only one out helping people. This channel is well worth liking and subscribing. Thanks for all you do! Ace

@aceengravings yeah... people are weird, haha. They don't wanna show people anything.. scared of competition, i guess. Idk. I like helping people succeed

I purchased the Gen 1 Crossfire in January 2019; I had trouble understanding what I needed to do so it set until about 3 weeks ago, I upgraded to Gen 2/xl table and downloaded Inkscape. Thank you for your videos, I now feel I can use the equipment using your advice.

Awesome, been working on getting better at using my Crossfire Pro. Kinda had to step back a bit, being the old dog I am in figuring out the works of it all. I'm using fusion 360 and I really don't have it down yet, have made a few items using it, and figured I could see what else there is out there to try since I'm doing sheet metal and all, this sounds and looks interesting,.....you gave positive encouragement. Thanks

[@tinmanmetalworks]

You are welcome. I hope the videos and ideas help you along and get you making some money ;)

[@p.t.anderson1593]

Subscribed LS Crossfire Pro in my shop. Thanks for the ideas and advice.

[@tinmanmetalworks]

you are very welcome my friend. I will be putting out fresh content regularly with new ideas. And thigs that have proven to make me money in the past.

[@Surge_Engineering]

I just made my listing! I will keep you guys updated if it works!

[@tinmanmetalworks]

post an ad a day on fb. in several marketplace groups. It lets you post in 20 groups for each ad. Use a different photo for each listing. Word each ad a little differently. Add contact me for more details at the end of the ads. You will get sales ;). Let me know how it goes for you!

Hi bud great video just a quick question is the silver paint that you have used called the base coat as I can't see any other silver in this range, cheers mick uk

[@tinmanmetalworks]

@@micklewis8438 i don't use silver paint at all for the most part

[@micklewis8438]

@tinmanmetalworks Hi thanks for the reply but what is the silver one that you have used in the video is it the base coat or a silver top coat many thanks mick.

[@tinmanmetalworks]

@micklewis8438 it's just bare metal with a clear coat on it 😉

Are you using hot or cold rolled steel? Loving the holligraphic paint.

[@tinmanmetalworks]

@billallen2718 I always use Cold roll. It's just easier and less work

Great info. Appreciate videos from folks actually doing this. Question for you; where are all the links you spoke about? You said you'd post them at the end of the video.

What gauge steel do you use?

[@tinmanmetalworks]

I generaly use 14 gauge cold rolled

[@Group-Five-Industries]

Can you make a video of setting up the Langmuir to Sheetcam, I have been using fusion and have been struggling

[@tinmanmetalworks]

did you get your machine working?

[@lawrencewelch8840]

Love the video, very insperational! Currently making my own plasma table, well had most of the bits for 7 months, will be getting on with it now. Just wondered what thickness material you use?

[@tinmanmetalworks]

14 Gauge most of the time. Thank you for the possative compliment! ;)

[@ltsky311]

Maybe I missed it, but watched it twice, what thickness metal do you suggest using for signage like this. I was thinking between 16ga or 18ga?

[@tinmanmetalworks]

@ltsky311 I use 14 gauge mainly sometimes 16 gauge. I may not have said that in the video..

[@foustfamily6626]

What gauge steel are you using on these? What about powder coating? How would that do with the way you painted. Just curious. Thanks for the video

[@tinmanmetalworks]

I make mine out of 16 Gauge or 14 gauge ... 16 is fine though, Some people request thicker steel. I do powder coat mine as well. I have a 10x10x10 foot powder coat oven that I built myself after saving up some money that I made with my table. Powder coating is GREAT! The video is kind of based on doing it the simplest way possible. For those just starting out. My powder coat oven is so large because I now make flatbeds for pickup truck and need it that large for those. Thank you for commenting. I hope to see you in the future back on the channel.

[@ProspectFarmandFab]

How is the flatbed business? I Run a fab shop and have been thinking of dabbling in that a little.

[@rishon1273]

Thanks, great video! What gauge do you typically use for a monogram? I just tried 16gauge and it turn out nice. For a 4’x8’ sheet of 16 gauge here in Canada it’s $120. I thought I heard you mention you paid $35 USD for a sheet? Thanks

[@tinmanmetalworks]

@rishon1273 I use 14 gauge but 16 is fine. And no... I charge 35.00 a Sq ft. A sheet here is about 98.00 for me for a 4x10

Just out of curiosity what font are the letters? I made a couple of them over the holiday weekend for my family and just picked random fonts..

[@tinmanmetalworks]

Oh man, I have no idea haha. I use all kinds of fonts. I do have several cut ready fonts that I have made over the years. I really need to get some posted for you guys don't I ?!

[@p.t.anderson1593]

I think the monogram itself is Times New Roman. When I use that same font, in bold, for the text it looks really good.

[@Zachyzarc]

Subscribed. I’m trying to make custom shower drain covers. Would you recommend the crossfire for this purpose?

[@billjacobs386]

IMHO, ask yourself how many you plan on making? If it's just this one, and It'll set it in the garage collecting what ever then probably not. Make cardboard patterns, and any fab shop can make it. But if you've got grinding dust in your veins by all means, buy one! You become more professional and productive Enjoy you'll be glad u did!

[@tinmanmetalworks]

Yes the crossfire will do that just fine. Any of them will make you money though

[@Zachyzarc]

@billjacobs386 TBH I'd like to make money at it. I've been a tile setter for 24 years, which is the industry that a designer drain cover would be useful for. The back and knees would be thankful.
