That came out great! Very informative video!!

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Thank you!

[@TheWeekendDIYer]

That turned out awesome! That engraved logo came out perfectly clear!

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Thanks dude!! I was pretty thrilled to crank this one out.

[@TheWeekendDIYer]

@@VoeltnerWoodworking Looks like you are very talented in Photoshop as well!

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

I know enough to fake my way through. Lol.

Are there any issues with copyrights like I've been scared to believe. When using images from the internet? Obviously I'm not mass producing but I do like to make money to feed my dogs

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

It’s always better to produce your own image. I use the images for a template to make my own so I’m not using the specific image. For widely distributed images and logos there are plenty of open source images to choose from. I do not market products that contain copyright images because I like to make my own. A little bit of Photoshop or Illustrator work is all it takes. Happy creating! Thanks for subscribing!

I don’t have that BUT...that’s turned out pretty sweet. Thanks for sharing 👊🏻

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Thanks for watching!

[@eddya2439]

That's nice, what did you use to seal the engraving and cutting board

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Thanks! I make my own wood preserver, which is a blend of mineral oil and beeswax to seal all of my cutting boards. This helps it to resist bacteria and not allow the bacteria to soak into the wood. 👍🏼

Nice job! Did I hear right that you have the muse core? I know it doesn’t have a camera but you show an image. Is it upgradable?

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Yeah, I have the Muse. It does have a camera for placement. It’s a great machine.

[@frankiewhite2963]

Is it the Core, 2D, or 3D? What was confusing is that the core doesn’t include a camera and I thought you stated you had the core. I was just wondering if the core is able to connect a camera to it.

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

Apologies for the confusion. It’s the 2D.

[@eyaleliyahu]

Which machine is this?

[@VoeltnerWoodworking]

This is the Full Spectrum Muse! Thanks for watching!
