This has probably been the most helpful youtube video I've ever watched!!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

NO WAY! And to think I almost scrapped it. Thank you for sharing that.

[@lisabasdeo400]

ALWAYs the teacher!! Love learning new things to make my work easier. Thanks Emily!

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you, my friend ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@milindraval]

i am honestly in love with your creativity..enthusiasm...and energy and above all..your outstanding knowledge and information share about how to do it. You are incredibly talented and I and my wife's sole inspiration to get started with our own home business shop. Milind & Niki from Ontario Canada. Can't wait to get my Mira 9 delivered

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

What kind words! Thank you for the encouragement. This just made my day. 🥰

[@robxsiq7744]

Protip: When making an array, you can use the X and Y spacing (in the array tool) to bring together and offset the spacing. You made great use of your dead space anyhow though, so carry on :)

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

I didn't know I could do that. You always have such great tips. Thank you, Rob!

[@stanmann356]

Instead of finalizing the array then moving the individual shapes to fit in the border box, you can just adjust the x-spacing within the generate array window to squeeze them all closer together.

[@celiciarobbins66]

I love when you say you get supplies from Home Depot! Do you ever share links to your Home Depot faves?

[@MandrilSolo]

Wow …. You Rock ! Learned a thing or two in this video. Thank you so mucho !!! Hope your channel grows steadily. Great content.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you for that! ❤️

[@kellycato253]

I love it! Thanks so much for being very detailed.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Aww thank you! My pleasure :)

[@LowVisionUKTerrysView]

absolutely loved this video tutorial. And, not at all too long. I prefer the longer tutorials to be honest. so clear and easy to follow, I always look forward to your videos, and learn something new or different each and every time. I am however, a little disappointed, as your mama didnt make an appearance with your beverage haha hugs to you Terry x

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Hahah I will try to remember next time and make sure she makes an appearance just for you! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. This totally restores my confidence. I was seriously going to delete it!

Love the video!!! What do you do on the back so the customers can hang it?

[@kirstisturgess-dawson1832]

So much useful information, thank you so much! :-)

[@RobSandstromDesigns]

Really enjoying your tutorials - have been binge watching your videos trying to prepare for Christmas sales season which I understand is starting already. I try to find something to say positive to help you be motivated to keep making videos and help with YT algorithm. BTW what type of Home Depot whiteboard material are you using? The slick stuff for dry erase markers or the mdf with what looks like a vinyl cover? These videos are from 2021 - are you still a fan of HD whiteboard? One last question - I see several discussions on FB regarding pattern plywood. Do you have a video discussing this material and tips and tricks to using it?

[@CaptainIndiaa]

Nice work, you are really awesome 👍🏽

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you!

[@thehopeyoder]

Great video!

[@TetraCNC]

Great video, I would really be interested in how the new paint pen works for you and how long it lasts.

[@ChrisBaldy27]

Thanks, is this just white acrylic with water or an emulsion?

[@karlriley1314]

You didn't show how you drew the sheep and faces. Other then that it was interesting.

[@paulmay6765]

Hey, hope you are well. I noticed you used no clear lacquer before painting the names? Whereas you suggest doing so in other vids, I'm confused (so my wife tells me...lol). Paul UK.

[@cliffart7398]

you could have changed your spacing in the array feature to compress them together, easier.

[@NOLACreative]

Awesome 🤩 and you’re glowing 😍😍

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you my friend!

[@janenguyen7572]

Love your videos! Just wondering is there a particular type of white paint that yo use for the white wash mix? also do you seal the wood once you stain it?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Thank you. Any white paint will do. My mix is so old I can’t even remember what I used in it, ha. Yes, I seal it. Forgot to show that here 🙈.

[@janenguyen7572]

@@ThatMomWithALaser what would you recommend for sealing?

What are your settings? Focus height?

[@488richard]

Like most youtubers, you left out how you got made your design for the jig shape

[@debbiestroshein8871]

Is there a place where I can find links to the masking and 3M adhesive tape you are using in these projects? Thank you! I'm really enjoying learning from your videos as a novice maker.

[@kometlorry]

Hi! Love your videos! Do you use acrylic paint?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Hi! Thank you! Yes!

[@maganblackburnlewis481]

thank you so much for the tutorial. i have question about the engraving part of your video. how do you get your laser to engrave each piece instead of moving back and fourth over like 3 pieces at a time? thanks

[@charmainetarrant2689]

Emily may i ask what font you used ?

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

Of course! It's called Blue Eyes www.dafont.com/blue-eyes.font

[@charmainetarrant2689]

@@ThatMomWithALaser thank-you

[@KodyK2024]

Just found you, and even tho I don’t have a laser yet I’m learning a lot. I love your staining method. Do you stain once the white wash is dry or wet? Thanks.

[@ThatMomWithALaser]

That makes me so happy to hear! I wish wash right over it. I don’t wait. :)

[@lorikasprack5200]

do you ever sell your files I would love this for my grand kids

I do! You can visit my Etsy shop at www.thatmomwithalaser.co
