Making Color Laser Engravings on Wood Using Xtool M1 Laser

[@HeavenLeeMadeOnEtsy]

Amazing designs, thank you for sharing the technique. They ended up looking amazing.

[@coreyhelton1995]

I still need help with the settings I have a 10w lazer

[@IronCladLaserCo]

@@coreyhelton1995 sacrifice a canvas painted with same layers and colors you’re gonna do and then use the array test grid function.

[@sherryleggett1612]

Wow, those are awesome!

[@BGeorgeVideo]

I'd like to see the final Epoxy covering phase!

[@hooksntoggles]

What type of epoxy did you use? Would you do a short video on the application of the epoxy?

[@Tondizzle]

This is a great idea! Would love to see how the epoxy process works.

[@IronCladLaserCo]

It’s just 2 part crystal clear high quality uv resistant bar epoxy

[@paulwelchjr6769]

I have a few questions if we can talk about the settings and how many layers of paint do you do

[@terryh5677]

Very nice and ingenious. Wonderful!

[@jffqnn]

Beautiful Work!! There's So Much to Learn from this Video!! Definitely a Great Idea!! Thank You for Your Time and Video!!

[@IronCladLaserCo]

Thank you.

[@vimcat]

Your designs are gorgeous! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@tbncbn7143]

hi ..can do this on faux leather?

[@traqndimitrov5577]

Hello, very good design, but I have a question because I didn't understand anything. After you put the last paint (black), how does the laser remove it and leave the colored paint on the picture underneath? Something is missing from the clip, I don't understand...

[@paulwelchjr6769]

How many coats of black did you use

[@jadjr74]

where did you get the designs?

[@misury]

Great video! Thank you. It did give me slight Blair witch vibe with the camera lol. Perfect for the season! 😂

[@IronCladLaserCo]

lol, ya I totally got that. It does doesn’t it, lmao

[@cheatyx1995]

Great Work what seetings do you use for this in Xtool?

[@nathandrumm9189]

They look great!! What epoxy do you use and what is the process? Would be another great video to make.

[@IronCladLaserCo]

Thanks, 2 part crystal clear high quality bar epoxy

[@mackieb6989]

That’s beautiful my friend. Too bad you didn’t show how you put your topcoat on. Maybe you can make a second video for that part. Thanks for sharing.👍

[@IronCladLaserCo]

It’s just two part epoxy

[@Lord_of_ChaoSan]

On the epoxy, did you just dip the coasters into a bowl of epoxy then set them out to dry? Or did you wipe/paint it on in some way? I'm curious as to how you applied the epoxy- that's the real question. Great vid!

[@Lord_of_ChaoSan]

Quick bump- I'm very curious about my question if you're not to busy. Take care!

[@pdeandajr]

@@Lord_of_ChaoSan I would say he probably makes a border around it, pours the epoxy and then rounds out the edges by sanding and buffing it out.

[@karatohongkongcat]

Awesome! Need to try it

[@Ferriscustoms]

I want see the motorcycles lol 😆 Could you prime it with primer that fill in grains faster?

[@IronCladLaserCo]

lol, ya, my one baby needs a new heart.

[@Thecraftyblacksheep]

I have a question. Is that epoxy or just clear coat spray painted on?

[@IronCladLaserCo]

2 part crystal clear extra hard bar top epoxy

[@Thecraftyblacksheep]

Thanks man. Your works amazing

[@ramonhamm3885]

The paint doesn't seem to smoke up too bad while lasering.

[@IronCladLaserCo]

It does if I turn off the inline exhaust fan

[@farmaforpresident8138]

Sorry, but I don't get it... Why does the laser only remove the top black coat?😅

[@felixchu7656]

It's all dependent on the power and speed of the laser. You would have to play around and determine the settings you need to take that black layer off. I have seen some videos where they put multiple layers of paint and increase the power at certain points to remove an extra layer, creating a similar effect.

[@farmaforpresident8138]

Thanks man, I'll have to give it a try, It looks awesome

[@IronCladLaserCo]

What felixchu said. There’s multiple layers of paint there, you can just kiss it enough to take off the black or you can hit it just right to get off a couple layers in certain spots, has everything to do with under standing your laser, image editing and paint layering.

[@vanessaowens244]

Super cool!

[@Thanos_Morningstar]

What pieces of wood are you using? This is cool, im definitely going to try to this. I've been experimenting on canvas too. It's cool to see you doing it. Can you do a video on the canvas? Looking for pointers.

[@IronCladLaserCo]

Thanks, Just cheap precut 2mm basswood from Temu and then two part epoxy

[@NancyJones-k4y]

Why does it say wood? Did I miss something? I watched the entire video and only seen you do tile.

[@thekittyrescuingcouplemega4633]

There were zero tiles in the video. If you watch the entire video it shows them spray painting wood squares with various colors (starting with white).

[@MarilyneCortiana-yp5sm]

Super idee j'adore

[@GokouZWAR]

So basically you layer paint up on the wood then etch the black paint off to reveal the colored paint below it. Nice. All that black paint dust tho, can’t be healthy to have that in the air…

[@IronCladLaserCo]

You have to get the layers right and the settings so you can burn away just the right amount to reveal the layers under the layers and so on. I have an in-line exhaust fan that pulls it all out and I have a Wyze camera that’s mounted in there and we close the room off while it’s running and can watch from another room on the camera to make sure of fires, we also have the fire suppression system on our M1

[@katfire]

😅its bit just basically....why are u underestimaring the man's art?!!! If u have Heath issues ...masks are available....😊 Excelent job my friend....results are amazing👌

[@SWAMAC78978]

Great Idea! Thank you for this. Also Why aren’t you wearing a painters respirator? I’m a detailer and painter for Automotive, you need to protect your lungs dude. That’s not good.

[@IronCladLaserCo]

I normally do, it was actually lying there, it was hard enough to do the video with one hand and hold the camera. I just didn’t that time.

[@mikekiske]

@@IronCladLaserCo Hi, tehre. Is that epoxy resin? How did you apply the coating? Cheers.

[@PICHUGIN_OPT]

Супер!!!🤩

[@warrenjameson5465]

Your FIRST coat should have been a PRIMER, so the other layers don't get absorbed into the wood. You may also want to mention to wear either a mask, OR Respirator when working with spray paint. Covering work that you don't want overspray to ruin, etc...

[@theodoreburns1330]

It isn't a spray paint tutorial lol, it is how to get cool laser results- and the results speak for themselves.

[@IronCladLaserCo]

Uhm, that’s why I used the white. I explained that in the video. You don’t want to use a primer, you want the lightest color you can use as the base, thus the white as I explained in the video, the purpose of the white is to absorb into the wood and lay down a base so the other colors won’t get absorbed, which is exactly how it works out.

[@chrisk926]

In the video, he shows the white being used for the FIRST coat(s) is an indoor/outdoor PAINT + PRIMER. Paint comes with instructions on how to properly use the product, what precautions to take using the product, and other information the end user can read themself as directions can change from one spray can to the next even if made by the same brand.

[@sumtingwong4693]

@warrenjameson5465 ... Alrighty Karen. I DON'T think he NEEDS any help from you, the outcome speaks for ITSELF. 😇
