💡 Lightburn 101 - Learning Hobby Laser Software, The ORIGINAL, and still the best introduction.

[@dieselwheasel973]

I have to agree with the rest of the comments. A complete novice to laser engraving and most of the tutorials assume that you are an expert with computers and I was getting swamped. This is exactly what I need and far superior to anything else I have watched, thank you.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment!

[@botjimllfixthatellis4805]

I totally agree. Brand new to this and was feeling completely overwhelmed. This is brilliant, absolutely best I’ve seen. Thank you so much.

[@michaeljustinger628]

I've been searching for a "teacher" to help start me on my path with Lightburn. Finally found you! Thank you for ending my frustration!

[@Jeff_369]

Hands down the best 101 video that I've seen! Including the videos from the "company". I appreciate all of the people out there making videos to help us out, however this one really should be at the top for those of us who are beginning. I learned more during this video than I did in hours of watching other videos.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Wow, thank you Jeff!

[@narrowgaugegreg]

total agree

[@ian1957ruth]

Yes agree

[@bobbybobie1212]

I've been listening to many teachers on KZbin. I have to tell you the truth, YOU are one of a kind teacher I've ever listen to and watch. I will give you an A+++++ and FIVE Stars *****. Thanks and please keep educating the public. SUCH A PATIENT TEACHER AND HUMOROUS EXPLAINER.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thank you so much for the kind words Rotimi!

[@tommybrannon]

Some people have their favorite books that re-read, this is one of my favorite KZbin videos to re- watch. Always great content!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thank you so much Tom! That's wonderful to hear!

[@bigdaddy111058]

I am new to lasers and lightburn. What I was seeing in other videos was so complicated, I was about to give up. You have an incredible talent for explaining this. Keep it up please!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad I could help! Thank you!

[@ArtTreasures-i7u]

I have watched so many Lightburn videos and I keep getting lost. Then I watched one where the tutor had changed his cursor by adding a bright yellow highlighter around it and finally I was able to follow all the moves for the first time. Especially, as you point out, the menus can be moved anywhere you want, by the time I found the cursor it was moving somewhere else. My old eyes and old brain need all the help I can get if I’m going to learn this thing. I’m glad I found your playlist. I’m going to go thru the list in order and not get confused by someone else’s way of doing things. Perhaps I will manage to create a few gifts this Christmas.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I’m glad I could help! I think we all struggle with software sometimes.

[@jeffreycanfora1091]

I’ve watched nearly a dozen of your videos over the last few days, since I received my xTool D1. I can’t believe the time and patience you’ve put into doing all of your tutorials. I am absolutely amazed and very very greatful of everything you’ve put together in your store and forum. I did my very first laser burn last night for my fiancé of the 3 cats for Mother’s Day and she absolutely loved it. Can’t thank you enough Rich. Very appreciated.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Great to hear it Jeffrey! Thanks for watching! 🌞

[@arthurknapp3110]

You are one of the best Rich. Your tutorials are the easiest to understand because you realise the struggles us newbies go through trying to learn the basics. i've progressed so far with your help. So I'd like to thank you so very much for your tutorials .

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I'm so happy to hear that Arthur!

[@MrAcross100]

I’ve had my laser for two years and I immediately paid for light burn because everyone said it was the best. But I’ve been so frustrated with different things for instance I would bring an image in trace it to see if the line at the bottom was going to burn into the image, then go into gimp to crop it then export back to light burn. All I’m saying is I’ve learned more in 30 minutes than I did in two years. I’ve subscribed to the channel and will watching more videos and this one over again

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Great to hear Adika! Thanks for the sub!

[@sitgesvillaapartmentneilsc7924]

use the forum from the help menu it will help you a lot....also study the online documentation and watch many YT videos as you can.

[@PerrynBecky]

This is an absolute treasure. I just subscribed. Your tutorial kept my interest from start to finish. I just got my Ortur laser master 2, and had been using Laser GRBL, and after only 3 days; I ran into the limitations on it in a big way. I decided to download Lightburn, and got lost immediately. All the other tutorials drone on and on and say nothing useful. This is packed with info, and it's very helpful. I'm about to click on your 201 video now. THANK YOU!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You're going to love the 201 and 301 videos Perry!

[@michaelmonteforte787]

You are absolutely the best teacher for light burn ! I am so new to all of this and was so confused after watching other videos. Now with you in my corner I just might be able to figure this out after all. Thank you for taking the time to put together a complete library of videos on how to use this software . Much appreciated!!!

Thank you so much David! I really appreciate it! 👍

[@joeruggiero2822]

Spent my weekend setting up an OLM2 Pro and trying to find videos that would help me with Lightburn. I found this on Monday morning and learned more in 30 minutes than I did in 2 days of not very good KZbin videos. Thanks!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Glad I could help Joe! Make sure to subscribe and hit the bell notifications! I have a lot more coming!

[@inekebee1115]

Hello Rich .... having read through most of the comments ... What is left for me to say! Your presentations are amazing. You're so easy to understand and follow, I have learned more from watching your instructions then I could've ever learned from the manual. Thank you so much for all your time and the work you're putting into the videos

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

So nice of you, thanks! 👍

[@Michael-lo3ht]

I have to agree with everyone. Best videos I've seen. So many have loud music, they don't pronounce words clearly, or blasting through it like everyone knew what the speaker was doing. It was a perfect speed, covered things without blasting you with too many options. I'm hooked. I can't wait to see the rest. I'm intrigued by the art library. I have so many designs now and now nice way to find them. So off I go. THANKS a million!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Wow! Thank you so much Michael! I appreciate the comments! 👍

[@Michael-lo3ht]

You're more than welcome. I have accumulated so many designs. But then they were so disorganized. This way I have them organized and easier get too. A total game changer. Along with working on cut libraries. @@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy

[@robertestrada7770]

Thank you so much for putting this series of tutorials out. I have watched countless videos on Lightburn and nobody seems to go past the basic shapes, framing and turning on the fire button. I feel a lot more confident with the software now.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

You're very welcome Robert! I was in the same boat as you a few months ago, which is why I started sharing my learning process. For me, it's not about growing the KZbin channel and getting more views, it's about learning and sharing curve with others... *thank you for wonderful comment!*

[@stevewyer3307]

Outstanding! I just purchased a laser engraver and Light Burn software, and my head was spinning until I watched your video. You've done a fantastic job showing the ins and outs of the software while keeping it easy. I'm now enjoying using these two products with your help. Thank you!

Wow, thank you so much Ruthann! 🙏

[@NextLevelCarpentry]

Thanks for putting a great 'baby steps' guide to Lightburn for beginners! I notice a lot of intuitive/functional similarities between Lightburn and SketchUp. I'm hoping it shortens the learning curve to get up to speed with a new software/platform. Your detailed instruction is sure to be part of that experience! Best, Matt

[@just1rick21072]

This video is amazing, I am so glad I found it on KZbin, I've had my laser for almost a year and have learned more watching these videos than I have in almost a year of watching others. Thank you. Quick question on the line and fill selection is there any way to keep the line after fill setting to something slower at all times, mine defaults to 6000 mm everytime, I ask this knowing that I can change it from 6000 mm to what I want, but sometimes I forget to and after a a fine fill it goes wild and jostles the whole laser. Thanks again.

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Thank you Rick! I really appreciate the comments! ✔ To your question... Yes Sir, you can. Draw a square, and then on the Cuts / Layers tab, double click the layer to bring up the cut settings editor. Enter the default speed and power that you always want to start at, and then at the bottom of the window, click the box that says, Make Default for All. Hope that helps you!

Great tutorial. Thank you! As an old-school developer and hacker, my rule of thumb is that I don’t read directions or watch tutorials.

Awesome tutorial. After watching several other so-called tutorials, this one was the most helpful. To the point, no annoying music, no home-grown shortcuts. No more need to bring up paint or photo shop to manipulate images.

Glad it helped Kurt! You know everyone has their own way of doing things, and if it works, I say go for it. But I try and find the easiest way to do things.

Well none of that helped me i thought it was so i did my first cut and the first cut tuned out wasn't cutting and then when it did looked horrible and i gave up because all their info i couldn't work out.

This is incredibly clear and straightforward, thanks very much. Now I'm going to look for a video in your pile that talks to line versus offset fill and raster versus screen fills. But this was by far the best starting point i have found with light burn

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Awesome, thank you!

[@jonsaircond8520]

I'm only halfway though and wow what a awesome video. I'm amazed at how powerful some of these software programs are but basically zero information on how to use it. Lightburn should pay to have you provide this information

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

I enjoy making these videos! And I love seeing other people learning from them, enjoying the hobby and creating new things! Thanks so much for the comment!

[@rsshemi]

WOW just WOW! love your tutorials. your step by step explanations make all those intimidating icons much less intimidating! looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. thank you!

Glad it helped Pramod!

[@psychoslingers8732]

First off, great tutorial video! The sales person I spoke to seemed to think I needed Corel for the graphics side and light burn to control the laser functions, so I bought both programs. Had I caught your video 24 hours ago I could have saved $$$. Thanks again for the video!

[@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy]

Oh, sorry to hear that!

[@swishair]

Absolutely one of the best beginner tutorial videos I watched, I am a Corel user and I found this video with some hints I can use in Corel as well. subscribed button smashed.... Thank you.
