Maybe you could sell them as sort of a kit so people could make them with their kids. Have it already cut and people could paint it or whatever they want.

Hi Ben and Nicole! I thought that this was going to be a 40 minute commercial for a laser printer. However, it turned out to be so much more than that, too funny! I'm not and never have been able to read directions from the user manual and had anything turn out regardless of what it was. So, to watch you demonstrate how the unit works over and over again, I'd feel more confident in using one. Although, the computer part would stump me so there is always room for user error. I love the way that the laser leaves the cut edges burnt looking... like a raw edge. This was a lot of fun and I cracked up watching you take the goofy pic and then print it in the negative or inverted. Love both channels and the crossover between the two. You almost HAVE to watch both! 🤟

Anyone thinking about buying a laser cutter, please read this. I work at a manufacturing company that uses a laser cutter. We use it for all types of materials, like wood and metal as Ben demonstrated here. However, we also use it for various types of plastics. Here's the warning; if you plan to use a laser cutter for plastic, PLEASE do your research before cutting as some plastics will give off toxic vapors, such as cyanide gas. Even in well ventilated areas some of the vapors can be very harmful or fatal. So please, research the material you plan to use and make sure it's safe for laser cutting. I'm not discouraging anyone from buying a laser cutter and creating beautiful art to sell, as this could be a lucrative business (or a just fun hobby). I'm simply giving this warning to keep everyone safe and healthy. ❤️

[@BensWorx]

Good advice!

[@peterthompson888]

Run the Exhaust through a wet dry vacuum it eliminates the smoke your neighbors will appreciate it 😊

[@ritavanderwall6024]

Ben you have a gift for teaching, and explain the process beautifully.😊

[@kryzier]

The spooky door hanger came out really cool. The colors and glow were outa this world. The card that came out inverted kinda made y'all look like ghosts, i thought it was pretty neat.

[@catymiller2270]

I don’t plan to buy one but I have to say, showing is the potentials that we could do with it is awesome because it’s hard to relate when someone shows us how they use it for what they make. Sometimes we need the creative ideas from makers like you to spark that interest.

[@derstrom8]

You guys have amazing chemistry together. Love that you're able to do something together that you both enjoy!

[@LisaOliverauthor]

I have had the Xtool M1 for about two years now, and I absolutely love it - I was quite scared of the idea of laser, but with the enclosed box it makes it so much better. And the things it can do, the things you can make - I have done boxes, and book covers, and pendants and suncatcher type things all done in 3mm basswood. So much fun. Lovely to see you both, hugs to you and your family and have a great week :)

[@BensWorx]

That’s awesome, I’m glad you like it 😊

[@blazer5154]

Those glow colors are fantastic! Surprising how well they all show up.

[@ChristinaCalhoun]

The glow powders made that Halloween project really awesome I love it

[@richardbriansmith8562]

[@LisaVornhagen]

That was really fun to watch. It's really cool that you can engrave photos. I love how that pumpkin sign turned out! Your logo looks amazing, too!

[@dalemaclaren7576]

What a awesome new toy to create with. I really like this machine. Another funtastic video Nicole and Ben. Door hanger turned out Spooktacular ❤ Take great care and keep creating and smiling xoxo ❤

[@marybeth17]

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou

[@marymoomey5011]

I loved all the projects, especially the door hanger! I would totally buy one of those! How awesome is that machine! Great episode as always!

[@sozias1]

Loved this video! I can’t wait to see what you do next with it. I’m looking forward to the next vlog with the updated working space!

[@Digikidthevoiceofreason]

26:00 Did you laser engrave your entrance? 😂😂😂

[@nailinartwithlisa759]

Love your take on the project, it looked great as just plain wood but with your creativity it is stunning! I have wanted an xtool for a long time. Maybe someday. That was awesome for them to send you one you all deserve this so much! Much love from Tennessee! I get so excited when I see the notification!

[@meddygon]

I bought the xtool s1 using your link! I hope they give you credit for it. You did a great job showing how easy to use the device is, and they have good prices.

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou! You are going to love it 😊

[@lucksart13]

I've dreamed of owning one for years but sadly they are still too expensive 😢

[@karengilchrist9774]

That was a very fun video. Great machine, the possibilities are endless!

[@roseosullivanfromIreland]

Hi Ben & Nicole, the tool is cool. Everything turned out brilliant. The glow in the dark was bright. Have a great weekend.

[@wadehendryx7378]

The door hanger came out very cool. I agree with Nancy Dawkins. That's a great idea. Can't wait to see what you do next. Hope you guys are doing well. Take care.😊

[@wendyjones3586]

What a great piece of equipment .... The sign and photos came out great .x

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Wendy 😊

[@geoffwarnes9327]

Love the xtool what a fantastic machine so universal Loved the glow in the dark door hanger 👍❤️

[@GalacticGoddess46]

Oh I love this! My kids would adore doing this. They love making jewellery with uv resin

[@tonywincott8448]

I have always wanted to try laser engraving/cutting but beyond the budget of my hobby. Great video and explanations.

[@michaelripley4528]

Wooow! What a great machine😋 And the Sound it made when you hand moved the laser head!!! Was really Nice 😅!!! Love the details it Can make!! Great video guys!!!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Michael 😊

[@Lexus_800]

Ahh you guys are so lucky!!! Ive been eying the x tool for so long. I was hoping to get one before I started my KZbin channel but unfortunately its a hefty price I a single mom with a small business. Maybe one day. ❤ thanks for showing us how it works.

[@garzilla7123]

That's a pretty awesome tool. Looks like you guys are going to have a lot of fun with it. Super Cool. 🙂👍👍👍

[@emmagrimsby8497]

Hi Ben & Nicole. What a great piece of equipment you have there. I'd love to look into this. You explained it perfectly Ben. Absolutely love how your Halloween door hanger turnd out.

[@iamonlyme9514]

I loved the first portrait you oops on, it looked like a photo negative, which is cool 😊

[@loisbradley1201]

Thank you for the laser demo/class. Love the Halloween cut out!!❤😊

[@bigsarge4352]

another cool tool thanks for the walk through. very cool

[@julietteneylon4243]

Thanks guys been looking into buying a laser cutter and this look like an easy one to use

[@leonardlorriman7095]

I really like your new toy. Great video. Thanks again.

[@kristinewithak8265]

This looks like tons of fun!

[@stephaniehester4429]

I want one of those now. Cool project, thanks for the video.

[@raziel3726]

Real Craftsmanship Ben!!👍🏻👍🏽👍🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@ChristinaCalhoun]

24:21 it looks like a picture negative from a Camara

[@AlienLeader4]

Very cool project. I have the XTool D1 20 watt. It is an awesome piece tool. Keep up the amazing work. 👽

[@ellishansen8115]

Very cool machine. Love the Halloween door decoration.

[@lol-ll3zh]

I love these videos very detailed awesome thanks

[@jenzwood]

Enjoyed this! Definitely putting a laser cutter on my Christmas list 🎅 🤞🏻 ❤

[@73kars]

Fantastic video guys ❤

[@lechatbotte.]

I just got one. Was a great deal. It’s not this one but I can’t wait to set it up

[@bobshupert7]

You could also use some of the leftover pieces in resin projects!

[@danareed1656]

glow in the dark white paint would of been awesome on the back plate! oh never mind you are using glow so awesome! oh wow amazing!

[@kellyw.1779]

Hey Ben and Nicole! I love the laser cutter...the possibilities are endless! I'd be scared to find out how much it is because it looks like a high quality machine. The cuts are clean and precise. Your Halloween decoration came out so cool, the glow powder took it over the top! Great job, bring on more fun projects. Take care...Big hugs from Texas!🎃🦇🕷👻

[@Designsby2e]

Its great to see some tutorials from fellow Aussies 😊 these all turned out awesome! I am currently deciding between the m1 and s1. I have a d1 pro at home set up but never used because the positioning and getting everything line up was confusing. I like that it's easy with the s1 even without the camera. Have you tried cutting opaque acrylic on the s1 yet? I look forward to seeing more videos and tutorials with your laser 😊

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou! Yeah I made a Black acrylic sign, If you want to see how it turns out it will be in an upcoming vlog episode :)

[@silgid7450]

So many more projects you can do now.❤

[@Sandi-by4uq]

That's really amazing!

[@alisonmary1443]

Great stuff, well explained, bet the instruction book was a wonderful read 😂 Awesome pieces. Yeah Christmas, love making Christmas baubles and things. Thank you 👍

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Alison, to be honest I didn’t read it 😂

[@nicholas87541]

Laser cutter/engraver machines are really neat to watch! That's awesome it can do those business cards! Love the Halloween project! Looks like you can put a lot of color into the UV resin, which I didn't really think was possible since it cures by UV light which has to get through the resin as far as I know. Always fun to see you both working together!

[@BensWorx]

Thanks Mate

[@genajones2823]

So cool. Love it.

[@Merennulli]

It seems like it would be really easy with a pattern like that to have your cutting pass on the front part, then engrave a channel in it as a second pass to hide LEDs wiring to have one light up too. You can get "flickering candle light" LEDs that might be fun to wire up behind a translucent orange pumpkin like that.

[@aerynkelly]

I loved the Halloween decor!

[@michelleruss4879]

Great job again

[@UnboundedArtandCrafts]

I've got a tiny laser engraver (8x8cm) which was already at the top of my budget. I would love a big XTool but that's still very far out of my reach 😢 But you do also need room to store the machine and keep everyone safe 😊

[@laurazakrzewski]

Very cool guys!!!

[@davidclauson5256]

Great video guys!! What an awesome machine. How long does the glow in the dark pigment last?? Thanks for sharing!!

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou! To be honest I’ve never really timed it

[@roelienliebenberg2516]

Thanks. Love it. ❤❤

[@nigelfrance6077]

Hi Ben Nicole if you leave your air assist on auto all the time. I've had mine for a couple of months now and love it no more dust from glass engraving or smoke from wood burning forgot how to spell the other name lol pyography

[@dianamcdonald4964]

Awesome video.

[@cindyh2610]

Thank you for the video, very informing. Just wondering, can you line up multiple cards and engrave them all at once?

[@Gantorin]

Have you ever tried puting the color contained only in the vile of a glow stick to make your resin phosphorescent? It works really well, and it is what I use being it is cheaper for me to do being you can get a glow stick for about a $1.

[@chrispotter219]

Just discovered your channel and absolutely love it. I do have a question though, many years ago I had a resin paperweight with a full dandelion inside it. I could never work out how they did it as the fluffy part looked so delicate. Do you know how to do this? Thanks

[@BensWorx]

Thankyou! If you are really careful you can get it in resin without damaging it

[@jacqtubing]

Very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@resinheavenstudiossueashwo387]

Glow in the dark paint on the base would have been even Cooler!!

[@DucksAhoy]

Fantastic video, really interesting. Just remember to always handle resin with gloves and a mask/ventilation. It is super dangerous 👍

[@janicecorbett3288]

I liked the video once you got past the technical part. Will love to see more production of these projects.

[@suesmith9202]

If I had the room I would have one. I'm in a tiny one bed bungalow.

[@TorrenceEastman]

I was thinking putting extra pieces and put in the trays.

[@stephanieruggles7360]

Awesome project and tool. Do you need to clean the honeycomb from all that burn? Cant wait to see more of it. Its so good to see Nicole out and about again. Next time ve more careful with the water balloon ambush...

[@BensWorx]

Yeah you should clean it periodically

[@skeeterarnold9189]

Is either the laser or the floor have height adjustment in order to use taller material?

[@BensWorx]

Yes you can take the floor off, there is also a riser that can bolt on if you like

[@Gantorin]

It is like a Cricut x1,000. I tend to photoshop all my items for my Cricut before sending them over. On the inverted subject, i really need to get on this experiment painting, I saw from other artists, to paint it in the inverted color so only your phone can see the proper colors. Really want to try that still. I got my image ready, but have not done it yet. It has been ready for many years I just never got to it.

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

if i would land my hands on one of these i would fill my house with everything... so maybe it's not a good idea XD (i already have my shelfs full of things and my walls of drawings). but the photo engraving was funny to watch lol, the results are really good tho! it's a cool machine not gonna lie, i like it.

[@rebeccanelson2408]

Can we engrave on resin as well?

[@BensWorx]

I wouldn’t recommend it, some resins are corrosive and the fumes might cause corrosion on the laser parts, also the fumes even though you can direct them away, would be extremely harmful to breathe

[@janreynolds2476]

So you put it on full contrast and then take it off to -48? 😊

[@BensWorx]

The contrast helps define the edges 😊

[@ThorMaxx]

I am assuming you can also cut metal? If so… how thick can metal media be for cutting?

[@BensWorx]

It can engrave on metal but I don’t think the 40w module would cut metal, there are other xtool lasers that will cut metal 😊

[@cheskydivision]

Little cut outs to toss in resin.

[@Sandi-om2tm]

That is awesome 4😊

[@Geez069]

Why aren't you using the auto setting on the air assisst?

[@Crossrock7777]

About how much would a setup like this cost?

[@Katiebugs_crafts]

Hi Ben & Nicole love the new laser. Projects are really neat lately. I'm having a hard time watching though, the constant movement of your phone/ camera is making my vertigo go crazy 😢 I may not be able to watch much. I'm sorry just wanted to you be aware

[@scarymuttstudio662]

[@timothyeames2187]

I was actually thinking you should use them cut out creatures in a resin egg or something but either way they can be used

[@shirleyannconfer9651]

I’m sure you’re going to find a use for your test circles. They might look interesting in an egg.

[@staciromero9068]
