[@paleogeology9554]

WOW, Im so sorry you guys live under tyranny, not that anywhere else is much better but atleast in the usa we are able to protect ourselves and families. I couldnt imagine having to carry a freakin flashlight for protection. Several years ago while travling alone across country I had a man attempt to abduct while wheeleding a razor knife, If it werent for me having my Glock 9mm with me that night I wouldnt be talking to you. That man was trying to get me in the car so he could rape me and much worse, yes he was stronger, bigger and probably faster but he still lost. Everyone has a right to defend their own life, and the lives of their families and loved ones.

I like all of your videos because of the tempo of your delivery, your sense of humour, your ability to admit and correct mistakes and your vast knowledge that is very helpful

[@eltonnoway7864]

Loved the video, the narration, the editing, highlighting the mistakes etc. Great job! I made a similar pouch but modified it so the top edge of the flashlight ended up being at the same height as the top edge of the multitool so it wouldn't dig into my side whenever I sit down or bent over.

[@joshuadelisle]

Well done that's awesome. Thank you so much. If you're on Instagram please tag me because I would love to see your creations. Cheers J

[@glenmattson3765]

I am so impressed with your video. A laser cutter/engraver has been on my wish list for years, but as an old retired hoarder, I need to make room in the garage for a place to store it. I am thinking that if it is not too heavy, I could move it outside to use it and use the breeze to keep the fumes away. Love your videos. Wow! Your only weakness is that you respond to so many comments that it takes time away from making even more great content. Thanks for the beautiful work and videos.

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. The best part about these types of lasers is they can hang on the wall when not in use. So you can definitely just set a table outside when needed. Cheers J

[@hobocat451]

I like both your review videos and your build videos as well. Your side by sid e examples of the machines are very helpful. Your knife and flashlight holder build was cool. Incorporating review and project build was nice. I'm a vacuum for everything CBC related. Wheather router, laser, machining, or 3D printing. But most of all your approach and presentation is very instructive and informative. With little to no real bias, just straight up this is how it is. This is what happens if, what you can and can't do with a material or machine. Thank you for your contribution to the CBC world. May you have a good day.....from Southeast Alaska.

I like the way you give the details clear. Thank you I would love to have one like this but I don't think my alarm system would like it will go on every time to cook anything well done because I live in apartment, first I have figure out a ventilation system strong to remove all smoke out for any kinds of materials in small details.

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. Yes good fire safety, filtered extraction and shielding from the laser beam is very important. I'm reviewing an enclosed system shortly which may be more beneficial for you. Cheers J

Excellent content. Including an actual project with some detail is a huge bonus. Appreciate your honest reviews very much.

Thank you so much. I'll continue to bring more. Cheers J

[@2591-y9x]

I started watching your videos for your outstanding welding and fabrication skills, then subscribed. Can't blame you reviewing all the free kit you get but if you've watched one 3d printer and laser video you've seen them all, no skill involved. Printers and lasers no forging, A life worth living.

[@joshuadelisle]

I try to mix it up a bit with the review videos and make something interesting with the kit I'm given. I did a little forging in the one laser video which people seem to enjoy. My stand alone metalworking videos don't seem to get as many views. I'll be doing lots more though again at some point but currently I'm overwhelmed with kit to review. It's great just not forging but it is paving a life for my family. Cheers J

[@sundance2005]

That flash/reflection just after 22:07, i would say that could potentially damage your eyes and is a good reason why if you are in the room with the laser ware the glasses.

[@YodaWhat]

Joshua, you are so handy with so many things, have you thought of making a *DIY Solar Water Heater, and storing the heat in an insulated tank?* The common _vacuum insulated selective surface absorber tubes_ will get you close to 100°C/212°F with no concentration of the sunlight, though it takes a long time to reach full temperature. Higher temperatures are really good, they increase the amount of _usable heat_ you can store. For temperatures above the boiling point of water, mirrored acrylic sheets can be bent into parabolic troughs to really concentrate the sunlight on the collector pipe, and single-axis tracking can follow the daily path of the sun across the sky. Weekly adjustments to the other axis can be done manually, the combination giving you what amounts to 2-axis solar tracking! An example of that I saw years ago gave an output temperature of 300°C/572°F, easily hot enough to run a closed-cycle steam engine at around 30% thermal efficiency, and still have 'waste heat' of around 55°C/131°F for heating water and buildings. On that basis, I calculated that *30 cubic meters of hot sand and rocks at 300°C could provide ALL the energy (electric and heat) to keep an 'average family' happy for an entire month of no sunny days!* I have pictures and calculations available, but obviously cannot post them in YT comments. There are also simpler versions that do not attempt to track the sun, and will work even with hazy skies, but give lower output temperatures. @joshuadelisle

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you, I do have some plans on it. certainly large hot water storage, parabolic mirrors and other related ideas. I want my wood stove steam generator to work first then i'm tackling a wood gasifier generatorand bio digester. cheers J

[@ziggypuppyproductions7453]

Thank you @joshuadelisle You sir are a scholar and a gentleman!!! Cut out the bracket and did the calibration and the crosshairs are dead on.

[@ianwidger7905]

FYI, good laser pointer but your subscribers should know the USB C implementation on the 40w laser you are using is non standard. Creality appears to connect the precision setting button to the USB C signal pins on this 40w laser. So, if you make your pointer with a USB C male connector that has smart charger resistors installed the laser pointer will work but the resistors in this connector will disable switching between precision laser and normal laser modes. Remedies- 1. just use normal 2. unplug the laser pointer before setting precision mode 3. remove the resistors form the male USB C connector (This is what I did) 4. make this project with male connectors which do not come with these resistors installed. As long as these resistors are not installed the precision buttons should work.I hope this helps.

[@joshuadelisle]

Well done for discovering all that. Cheers J

[@ianwidger7905]

Your welcome. Creality, made the timeless mistake of assuming customers would not come up with unexpected ways to use their product. So why not highjack the USB port and use it for switching output power. It quite clever really.

Well, that's a dilemma, I was saving up for the XTool, but after seeing this review I'm seriously thinking about the Creality. As for your content, I really enjoyed your craft postings with the amazing sculptures etc. However, I also enjoy your reviews on tool machines. Perhaps a mixture of both or even include some of your everyday life exploits. I find your rhetoric and sense of humour reminds me of a younger me. Great post, thank you and be safe and well 👍

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. I've got the Longer 40w, the Atezr 36w and the new S1 from xTool so lots more to confuse you lol. I'll definitely bring a mix into the reviews. I have a few blacksmithing projects I can add in again. Cheers J

Also cool torch, and i find most of your vids i see interesting regardless of the subject, as long as its the technical angle...

I was thinking the same thing, as a second amendment absolutist (if one is too dangerous to be trusted with a firearm then they've already shown they're too dangerous to be trusted loose within society) the idea of not being able to defend myself is unthinkable. It's even more abhorrent to think women are left defenseless. The UK keeps getting worse in this area granting more power to the thugs, they are barely behind China now with the only difference being knives have to be attached with cables to the counters in China, at least the UK hasn't gone that far.... Yet.

I became interested in Laser Cutter/Engravers around 2019, but they were based mostly on low power LED's or fragile glass tubes, with small enclosures limiting the size of material that could be worked.

[@rwizard]

I have the fully enclosed Falcon 2 60 watt, but after I purchased it I decided I also wanted an open frame unit for certain tasks. Since I already had a 60watt and 1.5 watt head, I ordered the open frame with a 10 W head. I have several good quality laser goggles in case I have a helper/spectator. There are plenty of projects that don't fit in my enclosed laser, so the open frame is a great help. Believe me, I take the risks damn seriously, just as I do with my table saw, planer, jointer, router, etc.,. If you don't feel comfortable with a tool you shouldn't use it. But you shouldn't make that judgement for other people. I've spent almost 70 years doing "dangerous" things, on the sea, under the sea, in the air, and in my basement, and I've managed to remain in one piece so far. A little fear keeps us safe, too much and it ruins all the fun.

Stumbled across this channel today. Now i am binge watching. Looking for an affordable laser, i got suckered in and got the laserpecker. Now i regret my decision, so looking for an affordable alternative. Lasering seems fo have become my new mental health support and so far really enjoying it. I just want to be able to do more. Trolling your videos for the comparisons so i dont make another costly bad decision

[@cootass]

My personal favourites are: a] power hammer making b] powered respirator c] hydraulic press making. Not that other videos are bad but those 3 are the reason I subscribed. I like some laser stuff like those laser crosshair mounts etc. Reviews not so much. I already have a atomstack a20 pro so there is no need of watching reviews If I'm not planning to replace it any time soon. Hope that helps.

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you. those are some of my favourite videos too. but looking at what gets views are diesil heater and lasers it seems. hard to know what the best ballence is but I guess i'll carry on with the range of content that I have been doing. cheers J

[@tonysellen4340]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video, I've been thinking of getting a CNC or Laser cutter for a while so I check these videos out on a semi-regular basis. Nicely done!

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you. I have lots more machines to show next year. Cheers J

[@froudster]

Writing as Paracordia-UK. A very informative video Joshua. I found the files for making the laser mount and will be making one this morning. Thanks for all the tips and tricks!

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. All the very best. Cheers J

[@froudster]

I don't know where I'm going wrong@@joshuadelisle I've gone through step by step setting up the crosshairs and as soon as I position the cross and hit start, the head scoots over to the right, hits the frame and stops. I've tried and tried and double checked everything and I have no idea why I'm failing. Falcon2 22w.

[@moochasas]

Fred Flinstone would be so proud of you..... I love your channel.... fast, no fluff and honest.. keep up the great work.... from downunder.

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. I'm glad you liked it. Cheers J

[@scottmorris4914]

Great review, thanks. I almost ordered one, and then found the Algolaser Delta 22watt laser. 40 watt due out next month.

[@stephenthrower440]

Impressive video. Been thinking about purchasing the XTool for some time as soon as I build a place to put one. This video has made me consider the laser that you used in this video. Its really nice that you raffle the items off after you demonstrate what they can do. I wished people in America would do the same.

[@Jbmc65]

Mate you done a splendid job on that pouch, I take it you where a harness maker in a previous life or possibly made the old leather helmets, Im sure it was something along those lines. But carry on, off to the next wonderful project.

[@Parcsyde]

great video, just found your channel and instantly knew I had to subscribe to it as someone getting into Laser work as a side hustle. I currently own the Falcon 10w, but would love to get into the 40W version for the expansive amount of things I could do with it as well as continue making what I do know just much faster. I really appreciate how you talk/show your settings and at times even discuss the operational costs compared to possible selling costs to come out with potential profits gains, very nice of you, I don't know of anyone else doing that! Looking forward to watching a lot more of your videos now, Thank you!

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. I'm really glad you liked it. Lots more coming soon. Cheers J

[@makeitreality457]

Good leather work. We did some of that in grade school. Nice to see what the laser can do.

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you. Cheers J

[@LilGideon92]

Havent watched alot of your videos but i found you thanks to your 3d printed knitting machine and stayed for the laser machine, did dip my feet in 3d printing and got me a neptune 4 pro.... therefor i thirst for 3d content, that being said, if you want to make serius money of youtube, do whats does best BUT if you want do do youtube as a sidething for fun, entertaining and education, do what you enjoy most. Its better you have fun making videos than making it a job that has to be done, risking losing the heart in the videos hope i make sens, i just want you to do what you like, i really like what ive seen this far keep it going!

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. I'm blessed to be able to do what I do. Even if I just did what I personally wanted to, I would still make it a job and work hard until the point of getting fed up because that's who I am. I don't believe in making the thing you love your job means you never work again, I believe if it doesn't feel like work then I'm not working hard enough. This is probably due to childhood trauma lol. More 3D printing to come. Cheers J

[@CheerfulChipa]

Only the second video of yours that i have watched - I loved both equally. As someone with ADHD i tip my hat to you sir... you have held my attention for the entire vid - twice! your channel will provide me with many hours of procrastination and no doubt cost me a considerable amount of money 😅

[@joshuadelisle]

Lol. Thank you so much. Cheers J

[@waitemc]

Ive had a mdf sharpening wheel just like that on my lathe . I lov a sharp knife

[@joshuadelisle]

Its so simple and works so well. cheers J

[@robgad2271]

One of your best demos and talks on the product. I also liked this one because you take it up a notch and do interesting expansions on the product like the MDF wheel and the knife sharpening, something I doubt anyone else would have thought to do and include as a realistic demo. Lastly I do agree with your findings on the good and bad points, and would like to add my two cents as well. Why didn't they just include a cooling set blower air supply mounted in the housing? And I agree on the stupid little height gauge, why is it not part of the fixture itself, like a side attachment that drops down on the laser housing (right where it's needed) to make per-operation adjustments at the head, then quickly adjust it back in the up position, and go. Other than t6hat, I like this unit. I am in the market for a new one and thought I'd pop in and see what you were demoing and like what I saw. Thanks for the great video.

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. Yep great points. Cheers J

[@wayne7521]

Yo Josh ,I totally forgot I'd watched this one ... Nice review .... then came the acting part in front of garage door ... 😂😂😂😂 classy Got balls to do that for others to see. Thanks to youtube to show me already watched.

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you. Cheers J

[@thomasw.6945]

offset can be set two ways, it depend what you need: part or hole...

[@danoneill8751]

"foot and mouth" reference... I haven't laughed out loud to a youtube vid in a while - thank you for that! :)

[@joshuadelisle]

Lol, it was an honest statement. cheers J

[@David-sw3on]

"What's That?! Do I Sense An Altercation!!"🤔 LMAO!😅 Great Job I Want One.👍😎🇨🇦

[@joshuadelisle]

Lol. Thank you, cheers J

[@personalPickle]

That powerful torch tip is pure genius, literally just bought one. You have such an interesting take on things, thanks Josh!

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. Hopefully you'll never need to use it for defence but it's a good torch and I use it pretty much every evening. Cheers J

[@personalPickle]

no, thank you! absolutely inspired @@joshuadelisle BTW have you got a patreon?

[@joshuadelisle]

@@personalPickle you're very kind. No patreon but I do a raffle instead. Cheers J

[@personalPickle]

@@joshuadelisle I think you're missing a trick there mate, the raffle is awesome but I strongly suggest a patreon in addition, for ppl that just want to see and support great content who may not need a laser. I'm sure there are ppl like that but I'm not one of them lol, I wants all the lasers! 😆

[@joshuadelisle]

@@personalPickle thank you. I've not done a patreon because I've not been able to put aside exclusive content. I'll definitely consider it though. All the very best. Cheers J

[@An_Urban_monk]

Hands-on, real projects, great explanations of how-to. Brilliant video. Great content. First time watcher. Subbed. Which videos are your favorites to make?

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you. My next One coming soon is about making electricity from free wood and powering my home. Cheers J

[@americanpatriot2979]

Like it so much I'm wanting one wonder how it engraves glass bottles & such.

[@joshuadelisle]

I've not tried glass. Ill see on the next one. cheers J

[@jnellie1970]

Loved the”fair maiden” skit. Busted a gut.

[@andrewj99]

Loved this so much I bought one from your link. But they sent me a 22w instead of the 40w. I have been getting the run around for 2 weeks.

[@joshuadelisle]

That's disappointing to hear. Was it definitely the 40w link? If you have an order number I can see what I can do for you. Cheers J

[@bryngerard4334]

I enjoy all of the different stuff that you do. Have been watching since you left your foundary way back and have watched you forge a life worth living ;)

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much for supporting me over the years. I very much appreciate it. Cheers J

[@hannelorematheus5996]

You sound so much like Matt Berry especially your little show around 18:11 😆

[@iantruman3295]

Enjoyed very much,can you make a wooden grinder design of internal workings and make it work?

[@joshuadelisle]

Definitely. I'm designing one for a video coming soon. Cheers J

[@johndineen9015]

My brother in law makes wood bowls and vases, I get the excess wood before going on the lathe. Some of the pieces are curved and I would like to engrave on inside arch. Imagine wood number zero cut in half 6 to 10 inches tall.

[@charlestaylor3195]

I like the content, this is the first time I've seen you. As soon as I saw the Leatherman you got my sub, I couldn't count how many times mine has saved the day. Love your art work, and your inventions/solutions (I took a look at your channel). The things I would do with that laser set up, got my creative juices flowing. Having the ability to cut out whatever pops into my head would be incredible. Thanks for the video, now get out there (I tells myself).

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. Multitools are awesome, all the very best. cheers J

[@lucashidding5888]

those plugs are normal XLR 3-pins (m) connector the funny thing is you buy them at a store for audio equipment

[@joshuadelisle]

Ah thank you. Cheers J

[@912ruckus2]

Saw the title, laser? Had to check it out. Pretty sweet tool and good video. Smooth leather carrier for a Leatherman.

[@ondenacaraway1309]

Was very informative and i find you rather amusing. Id like to get one of these laser machines but im retired and can't afford one. Too bad i missed your give away. I look forward to seeing your other videos.👍👍

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. I have a new video coming out this weekend. Cheers J

[@aggese]

The power connector is likely a standard component, looks to be a "3 pin din plug" but cant garantee that without messurments

[@acecrowncat1439]

17:58 multi tool guy 😂😂 that was funny.

[@Robfnord]

Looks good! Nice having the air pump included and built in, We have an Ortur laser master which is great fun but I am terrified of forgetting to put the glasses on!

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you. I recommend a compressor for the air for sure if you can get one at a good price. Glasses are a must too. Cheers J

[@mwillis1979]

This is the first video I have seen of yours and I really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work! I'm now following for more. I have the xtool D1 pro 20w and the F1, which is great for engraving metal using the IR. I have managed to use them to quit the 9-5 and work for myself. I'm not quite earning the same money yet, but I am getting close! I started with 3D printing and that naturally led to lasers and buying a tiny NEJE 5w. I soon wanted more power. I'm hooked. I want a fiber laser next for deep metal engraves. Thanks for taking the time to make this. 😊

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you and well done that's awesome. I've got the laserpecker 4 to show off soon. It does very well on metal surfaces apparently. That's so cool you're earning with your machines. It's a very competitive market as so many people have one but you must have found the right product to make with one. Cheers J

[@HAL-2023]

First time I’ve seen this. Wow, so many possibilities! Of course I saw your contest at the end. How do we enter for the multi-tool & flashlight. PS good leather sewing work!

[@joshuadelisle]

Thank you so much. The falcon2 is first prize, torches are 2nd 3rd and 4th runner ups. Should be links and discounts in the description if needed. All the very best. Cheers J

[@tonta182]

From a proud papa of 12 lasers ranging from 20w to 3kw i would say when cutting these plywood boards choose plywood graded for interior use, then it's not PVC in the glue and it will cut much easier and the edge will be light brown instead of a charred mess and as a added bonus it will be less smoke
