I didn't think I would ever want one . Now seeing this you changed my mind .

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Like I said in the video, when I got my first one, I thought it was probably just a novelty. They’ve really proven themselves to be a useful woodworking tool.

[@robtowle1580]

Impressive new toy man! Looking forward to seeing how the busted bowl repair goes

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thanks, Rob! I think it’s going to be a minute but I will definitely finish that bowl.

[@regsparkes6507]

I have never seen a laser unit like this before. This looks great!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Reg! It’s pretty awesome!

[@charlessessions7293]

That laser is really nice Jason !! That zip cover and fan is really a GAME CHANGER 😊 !! Awesome results with the wood bowties......

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Charles! I’ve never made bow ties by hand but I’m sure this is the way to do it😉

[@jeffmosher433]

Wow! Unlimited possibilities with that nice tool!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Well, just wait, Jeff. I got a new one yesterday and it’s a mind blower. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen. Stay tuned😉

[@JoshuaCarlsen]

​@NorthwestSawyer I just rewatched this video to purchase a laser. Now I will have to wait to see the next one.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

@@JoshuaCarlsenplease Do especially if this will be your first laser. This one is a game changer. I hope to post it Friday.

[@chriskythreotis4686]

The bow ties are looking amazing Jason I can’t wait to see them in an actual work piece that you make….👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Chris! Me too!

[@philvale5724]

Hi 👋, Jason , I hope you are keeping safe and well, great info, I didn’t realise that you could use a Mac computer with the software, Somebody told me earlier in the year that I needed a PC , which obviously is a lot cheaper than iMac, I’ve been watching quite a few different videos on laser cutters and engravers, Seems very interesting, I’m hoping to start a little business up after Christmas, all being well, I’m glad to see and hear that you are going to put your bowl, turning back together the exploded on you , look forward to seeing that, stay safe, Phil from the moulin France

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Phil! Yes, these machines are a lot of fun as well as a very handy tool. There are a lot of great videos on the software which is how I’ve learned everything I know about it. Thank you for your comment!

[@MrFHLH]

That's a really nice bit of kit, well worth buying. Like the idea of the bow ties, I knew you would cone up with a good method to repair the bowl. Look forward to seeing further progress on the bowl.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I’m slammed on this table work for a bit but will definitely finish the bowl asap😉

[@MrFHLH]

@@NorthwestSawyer Not to worry as and when you can

[@RuggedCoastExplorers]

Great demo, love it....

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you!

[@brianrogers9238]

Great demonstration, you certainly know your way round the PC tech. Looking forward to see how you utilise this in the future.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Brian. I have a lot of projects in mind with that kind of cutting power.

[@seanparchim9165]

Love bowties in wood it just adds another demention to the project✌️ Napa California

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Me too! I’ve never tried them before but this is going to make things really easy.

[@craigsudman4556]

Lets try that again: Well you smoked that video. Looking at the stock that was left over gave me a thought: One could make interesting lamp houses with intricate designs for both indoor and outdoor use. Really great video Jason a big thumbs up. Who would have thought that Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation could be so versatile...just don't cross the beams.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Safety first!😂 the cutouts definitely have a ‘50s vibe to them. Maybe something for my sawmill truck?🤔

[@SilverBack.]

Jason it looks a Great bit of kit, good luck with the bowl repair. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your Family

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Douglas! Same you you and yours!

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

So freaking cool Jason! I envy you brother!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I could waste a lot of time with this😂

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

@@NorthwestSawyer 😊

[@Bohica706]

Thats great. I can almost smell the smoke.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I could smell It all night😂

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Great video Jason. Would love to see the bowl get tied up.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I hope to finish it soon.

[@erinmcgrathejm4985]

Boys and their toys, huh? 😉 great addition to the shop, but I wonder, are you keeping the other lasers as well? You’re getting quite the collection!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Tools, Erin! Tools!😂 so far I plan the keep them. I actually have four now but I could never get one of them to work correctly so I refused to make the video.

[@paulthompson8613]

Your mallet still looks cool must be nearly Christmas and you get to open your presents early

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Right? I use that mallet all the time. And I’ll definitely be using that laser a lot too. Creality also makes 3D printers which I know almost nothing about but am pretty sure I need 😂

[@mikepagliei426]

Very cool Jason. Will it work on metal also? If so maybe something cool on the truck build?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! It can cut very thin stainless steel but nothing like a CNC plasma. That is a dream tool of mine.

[@robertbamford8266]

Amazing. And almost no kerf. Do you think the char will keep the glue from working (great mechanical connection!)?

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I don’t think so. There really isn’t much char. It doesn’t come off on your fingers. And fit is so good, I don’t think a ton of glue is needed.

[@mikeprichard7933]

How cool. Where do you come up with these ideas? This is beyond cool

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Mike! This is something I’ve been wanting to try for a while now. The opportunity came up and I think it’s a neat way to fix my bowl😉

[@hughgriffiths5837]

IMO enclosures are almost as useful as the honeycomb. Wouldn’t run one without it unless the job necessitated. I’m running the Xtool 20W Pro. Nice seeing the difference from the 20 to 40W! Have a great weekend 😁

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I’ve never had a problem just running a fan out the window but I never had to do it during the winter. This will be a great addition to any of my lasers.

[@glenlongstreet7]

So, when does the 'Laser Table' video come out?

[@thomasfriedmann8522]

Some form of fume capture and venting is a definite must. Just like you use a filter mask while cutting, the vapor products aren't good for lungs.

[@jeffreylord8172]

Jason, can you make the kerf .15 to allow for glue, .1 appears very tight and it may scrape/push out all the glue the joint. If you clamp the broken bowl turn it bowl down and cut the bow ties from the bottom, Just a thought.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I can move the kerf offset inward or outward to any variation. Thats the beauty of the software. I could even make it much larger to allow for colored epoxy which gives me a new idea all together 🤔. I had actually planned to sand smooth the bottom of the bowl and try the laser that way😉

[@paulthompson8613]

could you do dove tails with a laser

[@NorthwestSawyer]

@@paulthompson8613 I don’t see why not unless you’re talking about end grain for making boxes. I think a router would still be the most efficient for that. But to join two pieces of wood like the bow ties are, piece of cake.

[@Matthew-KN4QHQ]

For the Bow ties sockets I have always used my router. Could you use the laser to cut your bow tie shape in a thinner piece of material and add on the dimension of a bushing? Then just tape it down route it out and you have your bow tie socket the exact dimensions in your piece of wood. With your bow tie design those corners will take some finishing but the bulk could come out with the router and template. With that laser you could come up with all kinds of cool shapes.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Absolutely. You can even cut them in acrylic like the templates that you buy.

[@hondacrm306]

Hi Jason, I know next to nothing about lasers and wood cutting but I know a little bit more now, thanks. One question, if you are using bow ties, will the wood you are using be the same type as the bowel wood you are trying to repair? The extraction system looks to be working well 👍

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Ideally with bow ties, you use contrasting colors of wood to highlight the craftsmanship involved with the repair. That’s definitely what I’m planning to do here.

[@hondacrm306]

@@NorthwestSawyer Gotcha

[@williamellis8993]

That's great, Jason. I normally don't watch review videos, but since it was you........ Will that smoke gum up the fan? Bill

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you, Bill! I’m not sure if it will or not but I think it’s probably a pretty inexpensive part to replace if I ever had to. Guess what I forgot to put in this video?😳.

[@williamellis8993]

@NorthwestSawyer Should have been smoke sucking back into the wood lol.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

See!?! I blew it!😂

[@davidconaway2830]

Stop reviewing tools! You're costing me money each time!;-) You are spot on with the issues on the xTool by it's still quite a good laser to have. The bow ties look amazing and I cannot wait to see how you fix the bowl with them.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

😂😂😂 sorry!!!

[@williamconway1287]

Really nice looking piece of equipment ! To me it would be a toy , but obviously it’s not to you .

[@NorthwestSawyer]

It’s fun enough to be a toy for sure 😉

[@craigsudman4556]

Well you smoked that video. Looking at the stock thatAmplification

[@craigsudman4556]

Sorry folks must be errant finger syndrome.😁

[@NorthwestSawyer]

😂😂😂

[@garybessey2184]

Jason, that laser has fantastic capabilities ! The very first cut you made resulted in a bit of waste wood, a perfect circle. I immediately thought of a portable northwest sawyer brand for using them up. Your logo is round, so you ought to be able to fit that onto your circular blanks.The other side can be used at the same time for T U I T S. (Round ones. ) This seems to be a great setup for a NW sawyer souvenir for your customers ( and other possible customers ).

[@NorthwestSawyer]

You might be onto something there, Gary! I love it!

[@Lorddanielrushton371]

To make room for your new laser, I'll take the Xtool off your hands. 😁

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That is so generous of you!!!😂😂

[@archiehebron8944]

I was just thinking the same thing 😂

[@archiehebron8944]

I have the notification turned on so when you decide to upload I'll see it drop.

[@Berniede1]

THERE IS AN ERROR IN YOUR LINK i TRIED IT 2 TIMES

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! I will look into it.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

I tried it twice and it worked both times I’m Not sure what’s going on

[@ronaldcamp6757]

Cut a piece of wood to serve as a bottom.

[@NorthwestSawyer]

That’s a great idea!

[@lakebum6211]

I really enjoy the variety of your videos. Always entertaining and informative. I watch another channel similar to yours that I'd recommend for you if you haven't already been watching him. His channel name is "Unemployed Redneck Hillbilly Creations". He's been into the laser stuff for a long time and recently just got a laser like yours except he got the hard cabinet. He's does a lot of other stuff as well like woodworking, sawyer, machinist, gardener, crafts, etc. He's old like me and a real wealth of knowledge. Keep up the good work! You're doin' good!

[@NorthwestSawyer]

Thank you! Another viewer recommended him as well. I’ll have to check him out.
