I couldn't afford one for the life of me. But that would be a fabulous item to have to make doll house furniture! If they reach out to me, I'll grab on with both hands! That's probably the coolest tool I have ever seen.

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Oh my gosh yes! That's a definite must to try 🤗

[@americanajooma4457]

What an extraordinary tool! Hope y'all enjoy your new branch of creativity.

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Aww thank you so much! I'm looking forward to playing with it so much ☺️

[@benjaminpastrana9662]

Excellent project you did with wood and your crochet!!!!!!!

[@Improbable_Fiction]

Such a fantastic tool! It works way better than I anticipated it working.

[@marciathomas8702]

Cool machine. Great for trade/craft shows.

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Definitely! I'm even thinking of going to one now 😄

[@minini5571]

[@kayefudge9469]

Hi what a great machine and great demonstrations Kaye x

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Aww thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed watching 🤗

[@zovi3363]

Great video, love the story 😍 I like to think you manifested it

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

It still pickles my brain! 😄

[@suebrown3465]

That was a great demo I think it was eerie that you have a conversation about a product and then the company reaches out to you! I swear my iPad is listening as things will pop up that I was talking about Take care🇨🇦❤️

[@EDBailley]

Yeah our devices spy on us

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Something very strange happened that's for sure! It was such a weird coincidence 😄

[@EDBailley]

@HappyBerryCrochet I don't believe in coincidence, it was your device spying on you, I know it sounds strange but it's true, mine does it all the time, I will say something and a few minutes later I will get a email on what I was talking about, for example I will say something like oh I haven't eaten pizza in a while and a few minutes later I'll get a email about pizza.

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

I'm not sure my device can make a company email me personally though 😄

[@QueenVic67]

No such thing as coincidence. Manifestation is real & well done you! I have a larger one from XTool but they’re amazing pieces of kit x

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

They so are! We're huge fans now of xtool ☺️

[@surfinghollywood]

Instagram is absolutely listening!!! Alexa, Siri, I work in high tech marketing and confirm.....

[@kimhice3879]

Love your shirt!

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

😄 thank you! It was so hot in the studio though, I definitely wasn't looking my best 🥵

[@janetpickard8389]

Fab bit if kit! Your accent seems to have changed ever so slightly 😊

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Ooh really? How interesting!! 😀

[@michellepaino9650]

awesome 🎉 you believed 🙏🏻

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

☺️🙏 I like to think so 😁

[@lisaburnham7151]

That was an excellent video on the F1. Thank you for sharing it. Will you be doing more videos on it? 😍

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Yes! There is so much to share so keep an eye out for future videos. (and future ones are not even sponsored lol we love it that much!)

[@floridalove1]

16:09 On this point you have to select the Mode "Chuck" not "Roller" 😎

[@impressionalities5803]

Great video, we recently purchased the xTool F1 and are waiting for it to arrive! Would you be willing to provide the patterns/links for both the crochet pot with lid AND the laser file/svg for the circle and holes? Thanks, Deb

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

That's wonderful! I hope you enjoy it as much as we're enjoying it. I can't share the HappyBerry exclusive laser files though, sorry, as they'll be exclusive to the marketplace in the future.

[@fabalassgifts5531]

Hi, I love this, does this actually engrave into the metal or does it just mark it, like a Co2 laser would?

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

I'll be honest I'm not sure, you may have to check their technical details on that one, we've yet to test it fully 🤔

[@joanpringle-canning2834]

🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

[@sandyt4597]

Can you engrave on champagne flutes or wine glasses?

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Yes you can, but we've not mastered glass yet, you need to use some kind of black paint or marker or card inside so the laser can focus on the glass otherwise it does nothing. I think we'll practice with this to find the best settings! There's other videos on this on KZbin where they've achieved amazing results on glass so it does work 😅

[@darumisi]

Yes, it is possible. I tried it, but we thought the metal mug was more interesting. As Laura writes: black tempera or acrylic paints should be applied to the surface of the glass in an even layer. Or balck permanent maker, this is much easier, and you can wash it off with alcohol afterwards. The glass cylinder with a diameter of approximately 7-8 cm (3 inches) should be engraved with this machine.

[@ninanightnurse]

Amazing...but looks dead complicated to me!

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

That was my thought at first but it was surprisingly easy!

[@darumisi]

It seems complicated at first, but it is surprisingly simple. Setting up a printer is maybe more complicated. In the box, we found easy-to-understand, beautifully illustrated instructions. 😊

[@goober-ll1wx]

Must be nice to be given a few £ks worth of equipment, but for most mortals laying out that much capital to try and recover on Etsy making widgets could take many years to just break even, if you even get your money back... 😢

[@HappyBerryCrochet]

Yes it is nice of course, it reflects the decade of work I've put into HappyBerry so means a lot to us in many ways. I don't use Etsy personally, but I know it's not easy these days to make money on there, my sister always did well though. Building a business takes time and effort, but if you do what you love then the sales will come from all over the place, not just Etsy.

[@kimhice3879]

Just checking who it says I am.
