BIG PROFIT with Laser Cutting Solar Lanterns! Fast & Easy Design

[@pegeggeggleston4315]

Hi Kim and Garrett - Fabulous lantern. They are adorable and I like the possibility of interchangeability (is that a word?). Great job. Keep the goodies coming and continued success. Love PegEgg

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Who needs a dictionary when we can make up our own words like "interchangeability," right? Thanks for the love, PegEgg!

I can’t see the mosquitoes on camera but they must be terrible in your shop. I hear that those butane bug repellents work good. Your work looks top notch and really good! Glad I found your channel. Sub!

[@hargabyte]

Thanks for giving out the kerf template! I have been looking for something like that. So nice of you to provide it for free! I see a lot of other channels trying sell similar stuff. Its like they make the entire video to convince you buy some file from them that you need to complete the project.

[@phaleen]

This is so cool. I bought the DIY kit and can't wait to paint it when my paints arrive. Next, the cut files.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

That's awesome! Enjoy painting your DIY kit! Cut files aren't as hard as they seem.

[@jhstyleinc7009]

These are soooo cute! Loved the built in Lightburn lesson too. You guys are awesome!! 🐝

[@LithosAndLasers]

Pro Tip. Make the existing sides just outline frames. Then, You can make your themed decor sides as magnetic panels that attach easy.

[@bigdaddy111058]

Could you please elaborate a bit about doing the sides with magnets? Your channel is excellent!

[@LithosAndLasers]

@bigdaddy111058 WHY thank you. Im thinking instead of the large X, cut a full square out. About the same size as that X. (Thus way when you put a design over it, you're not seeing the x underneath. ) NOW, make a 2nd pannel that is solid, and has your design cutout. Then, you could use magnets or velcro to attach it. Repeat for the other 3 sides. You could also use colored acrylic, or vellum on each side.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Appreciate the suggestion, it sounds like a cool way to switch up the panels easily. I found some 1/4" cylinder magnets that would be perfect. A little 1/4" hole in the corners (for the magnet) of the base piece and then same in the spots... GREAT IDEA!

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

YES COLORED ACRYLIC!!!!

[@prptink]

Thank you so much for the love!

[@woodworksszm2680]

i love you so much, you are talented and cool, can you please tell me about the wood paint behind

[@donnawright2333]

love these. Would they be ok being mdf and outside with moisture? I love using MDF too and just had that thought.

[@ginamariegarcia9461]

Which is better the acon laser or p2

[@kawestley1965]

You you have the kit for sale?

[@cassandraknight6485]

Do you paint with rollers to lessen the chance of getting paint on the edges? I'm a terrible painter.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Using a roller can definitely help with reducing paint on the edges. AND practice makes perfect! The rollers also help cut down on paint waste.

[@maggie9256]

Are you including the solar piece when you sell it?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

We won't include it with the unfinished kit, but we will included with the finished versions and for the workshops.

[@ginamariegarcia9461]

I downloaded the kerfing file and it didn't make the cuts. Only engraved What am i doing wrong?

[@ginamariegarcia9461]

how about xtool software?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

It's pretty much the same thing, but the minus front and unite are in different places.

[@Silent-G]

Come on guys! How did you laser the sides of the hat?

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

LOL! We just crushed the side and held it down with a magnet. We also just did one with the F1 and it was way easier to do the side, but harder to line it up.

[@donLilleskov-lc6rp]

Stop that ridiculous flailing!!!

[@vdsivan]

Thnx, not only learnd something about making lamps, but also in Lightburn. Keep on making them.

[@KimandGarrettmakeit]

Looks like my lamp-making skills are shedding some light on your Lightburn skills! Keep shining bright! LOL!
