can i haz cats :0 Im literally flabbergasted at the engraving in colour its wild

[@LynetteBunBun]

Can i haz cats! Love you peter, you are inspiring and I wish some day to get to the level of maker you are at.

[@minehermit]

can i has cats?

[@amberneillboaz849]

Can I haz cats?!?!?!?!

[@parkerlreed]

The arbitrary item placement and camera recognition is amazing. You build something on the right end to feed them in and have it running all day long. Simply incredible.

[@RyanMercer]

I'm just glad when you showed the F1 I used my Amex because it broke within a month (and dozens of others have reached out to me about theirs doing the same) and they ghosted me but Amex had my back.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

That fantastic. What happened to your F1?

[@RyanMercer]

@@peterbrownwastaken IR diode dies on some fast, they police the Facebook group too deleting posts with the issue, fortunately I screenshot a ton for the Amex dispute.

[@peterbrownwastaken]

@@RyanMercer Wow. That's too bad. I'm glad you were able to get a refund on yours.

[@RyanMercer]

@@peterbrownwastaken you and me both 😂 it also resulted in 13 free ones and counting from other manufacturers wanting me to do videos so I'm happy haha

[@cakebombs]

Can i has cats?

[@liamfoxy]

This kind of tool is a game changer for small businesses. This allows anyone to do large scale engraving projects

[@kathimorrical9912]

And you have a frikin' color laser to play with, what a cool tool, and toy, to play with! Congratulations, and thanks for sharing!

[@randomkiddoscrewinaround2177]

The multi colored grid was awesome, I would absolutely be down to have a little piece with that gradient or something on it

[@cozymoggele]

Omg the last time I watched a Peter Brown video he still had brown hair, he was covering non-perishable and perishable things in resin, and life was still simple

[@Dman0001]

i would love another do or dye trying ep

[@girrrrrrr2]

Now hes Peter the Grey.

[@stsfuzzybear4613]

Happens to most everyone, sooner or later.

[@adamemac]

A frickin" laser with a conveyer belt!? That might be better than sharks with frickin' lasers!

[@ShockingPikachu]

Frickin sharks with frickin lasers on their frickin heads

[@galeidelsztein4308]

Can i haz cats

[@davidelkebampscelis2092]

Can I has cats 😻? Awesome review, Peter!

[@GMy3rs]

Can I has cats!

[@gregparker5732]

Only when xTool make the positioning much better.

[@6kang971]

Having colors in engraving is definitely a game changer. And the picture being cats? I love cats!

[@ItsARogue]

We're being spoiled for videos recently! It's always a good day when Peter uploads :D

[@horatioswrld]

That bad boy is an Etsy machine. Insanely good video. This is why I watch KZbin.

[@susanabanana212]

Aww dang I can't reply "can I has cats?". But your excitement for this new laser reminds me of when I upgraded my old sewing machine. There were so many more stitches and cool features, and I found out I could embroider on it!

[@johndeerdrew]

I know right? I guess we were too late

[@meurigf]

He updated the pinned comment to say it’s okay to comment anywhere. So: Can I has cats? Please :)

[@shaundiin85]

@susanbanana212 I had the same thought (sewing machine)! 😂

[@yolandevanaarde318]

Just received my very 1st Laser - F1 Ultra and felt no other video gave me a quick test material with info, very short and sweet and just what I needed. Thank you very much!

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I hope you're enjoying it!

[@RealAndySkibba]

Color laser is super cool. Conveyor belt is neat.

[@CarlJacobson]

Wow!! That thing is awesome Peter

[@Dapstart]

I love your work!

[@willburke]

hey Joel, congrats on your retirement!

[@dylandreisbach1986]

If anyone wonders why you keep the cover down, look at what that laser does to metal. One stray reflection. And you lose vision before you can blink. Do not mess with high power lasers, you only have two eyes and this will help with changing that. Stay safe out there, just because a lot of cheap laser engravers out there don’t have a shield does. Not mean it doesn’t need it.

[@Gleamiarts]

In my uni, they banned laser cutting mirrors unless it was mirror acrylic and covered in the protective paper

[@peterbrownwastaken]

100%

[@rincewindtvd]

Especially since your brain has a system for ignoring gaps in your retina. You can't see the gap where your optic nerve is, and that same "gap ignoring" means your brain ignores spots of laser damage. So by the time you notice vision damage, it's already way way too late.

[@bob_._.]

Wow, I haven't seen a laser with a conveyor since "Goldfinger"

[@peterbrownwastaken]

Haha!

[@homeyshlitz]

I love the key chains and the fact that you can laser in color is amazing.

[@thematthewlondon]

do i need a laser? no.. do i want one? yes, and everything would be engraved

[@wtmac02]

Seriously! I would wear that thing out within a week just non-stop engraving everything in my entire house...

[@BarattaMagic]

This is amazing! Laser engraving in color! 😮

[@Velocity_AU]

Thats pretty damn impressive

[@infinitivez]

So dang cool! and hi Joel. Grats on retirement and the move. Hope you're having a great time where you're at.

[@Tarkov.]

Could you do a super light pass with this laser on 3d-printed stuff to smooth out the layer lines? like for mostly flat stuff lol

[@Gleamiarts]

I doubt it, unless the filament happens to be laser-safe Some materials cannot be safely laser cut/engraved becauase they give off dangerous fumes or are prone to catching fire

[@peterbrownwastaken]

I'm not sure. I'm getting my hands on my first 3d printer next month.

[@JBLewis]

Mrs Brown is right, that dragon is almost holographic-looking!

[@michaelmoore1627]

Hi jole!

[@takaela]

that is the first new trick i've seen a laser engraver do that makes me think i might want one someday!

[@matthewtwigger4002]

That conveyor belt system is pretty dang slick!

[@Srfingfreak]

I was familiar with fiber lasers and their capabilities, but I was surprised at the conveyor capabilities! I feel like this is fulfilling a promise of technology that hasn't been filled in a long time...

[@mephustowest1876]

I had no idea they could do the engraving in color! That was really fun to watch. I hope to see you make more stuff with the engraver and incorporate it into some of the other fun experiments and things you make.

[@danielchristiansen5481]

It's not so much a laser thing as it is a Stainless Steel (and Titanium) thing. They form oxide layers at different thicknesses depending on heating, so you can do this with a torch if you're careful.

[@nekomander]

I love every time i see you have uploaded. you are a delightful human, and your enthusiasm and humor are always so welcome.

[@kirvaywindwalker5194]

That is the coolest thing I have seen in a while. I can't wait to see what else you do with it.

[@princessmiaxo]

I wonder if you can try matching dyes to the laser colors possible for a resin+stainless steel combo project?

[@wimbeedoodle]

Can't believe how much depth you can get out of some spicy light shining on metal! Thanks as always for the amazing videos. :D

[@ralphkerns9680]

I love shop time videos so glad your posting a bit more hope we get a few more soon

[@98Zai]

Looking forward to what you can whip up with the laser anodizing thing!

[@woogaloo]

That’s insane! I’ve been looking at their regular 20w laser but wow this would be cool.

[@Nebhet]

This was so cool. I wish I had a shop space for this kind of stuff

[@TheNewJankyWorkshop]

That is cool... seen a couple other creators with one of these recently, and its ability to engrave metals is amazing... I have a GlowForge Pro CO2, it is phenomenal, and have gotten its money's worth, but you have to use a spray coating to "engrave" metals. It's just not the same as etching. Adding one of these to my wishlist...

[@quadrankle-1491]

Can I has cats Peter? My gf and I both watch your videos and we both think you’re one of the most genuine YT’s we watch. Thanks for all your funny takes and genuine insight and knowledge on all these insane tools all the while making some of the coolest pieces I’ve ever seen.

[@My360BlackOps]

The Dragon coin looks amazing. It looks insanely detailed on camera. I wonder what it actually feels like.

[@meandbean7807]

This is so cool. Love the detail of the dragon and the coloured cats. Fancy!

[@abbyhe4245]

I love every video you made for XTool. Inspire me a lot!

[@jasem8221]

This laser is awesome!! I'm excited to see what you're gonna do with it in the future.

[@baconslayercm7033]

Well, now that is just freaking cool! Lasers are so neat

[@mastermind2589]

I didnt even know you could do colors with lasers that's so cool

[@Brandon-butterb1]

peter has slowly transitioned to making practical things made of wood, to practical things made of resin and wood, random stuff made with resin and other stuff, to stuff made purely to look cool with resin with other stuff dipped in, to laser carving stuff and filling it with resin, to laser engraving. cant wait to see whats next

[@erosetol]

Im so looking forward to see what you can make with the color function on the laser! So many possibilities.😆

[@ChillyJack]

Clicked the link at the start to see just how much the F1 Ultra costs (well outside of my price range), and after seeing the features you showed off I can say the price is entirely justified for anyone who can put it to use. That thing is insanely cool.

[@Psammead21]

How did I miss this video, Peter?! This is amazing and the laser etching is so cool to watch. I loved the cats one and was not expecting them to be in different colours and shimmer like that. With love & respect as always, from a crazy cat lady across the pond xx

[@jimmygreeson160]

Very cool laser! 8 can see so many uses.

[@studiobudal7235]

Correct me if I am wrong - I believe the loudness comes from the purifier. Do you believe it would be too loud to use the laser and purifier in an apt?! I am on the first floor and am worried I would drive my upstairs neighbors crazy.

[@Zaqinabox]

I love this thing and hope you do more projects with it. Def keep that screen down tho it's a little harsh to watch without it.

[@kleinesren7064]

how cool! Never knew a laser can color steel. Neat!

[@ztynzo]

I don't usually get excited about laser videos, but that is sweet!

[@Nicktonyous]

All right, I have a question. Would you be able to score a piece of glass with the laser so it’s easily broken to make a stained glass piece

[@Shelldrakeaus]

I run a 1200 Watt fiberoptic laser for work. We cut thru up to inch thick mild steel like a hot knife

[@peterbrownwastaken]

WHOA!

[@zerotondo9584]

Dope!! can't wait to see what you'll do with it.

[@brianhaines8318]

That is so freaking cool man!

[@MexieMex]

Very cool, for the conveyor belt, can you have incremented designs (ie where you had 50/50, the next would be 50/51, then 50/52, not a design you'd want, but hopefully it explains what I mean)?

[@tlh878]

Amazing tool. Engraving in colour is blowing my mind. Can i haz cats?

[@AuroraBlacke]

Can i has cats? Seriously though, that's such a neat technique; it's basically a more controlled version of flame painting, and since the color is being added to engraved metal rather than directly on the surface layer, the color might actually be more durable. It'd be interesting to test out, at least. It's so funny that the reply function broke down like that. I look forward to seeing what you do with this kind of tech in future videos, Peter!

[@tangentartists6876]

Very impressive! I have a mighty need!

[@irenem2081]

Really cool machine! It's awesome how detailed it can get and the possibilities it opens up with the colours. Curious to see how you use it in the future :)

[@courtney3686]

So sad I missed this video coming out. I get notifications but must have missed it. The cats are soooooo cute. Love them. ❤ also your Chanel

[@vgullotta]

Hi Joel! Hey Peter, what happens if you put one of those keychains back through it again at a different orientation that is already processed? does it do a perfect second pass? I kinda assume it will given how precise it seems, but would be a cool test.

[@eddiepliers1]

BTW, long time watcher, first time poster... That was great Peter!

[@sarahbenson4492]

Note to self: approach freshly lasored items with tongs, or learn to wait for cool down. Got it!!

[@stsfuzzybear4613]

Unless you really want to be branded. Then just grab it and scream.

[@grotesqueer]

I wonder what would happen if you had other items on the conveyor belt too, for example some that are otherwise the same but are of different size or color.

[@michaelannscecina7080]

Thanks for the video, love your channel.

[@foragedarts2037]

have you ever turned something using magnolia cones and resin? they're the oddest pinecone shape but with holes that go into them

[@zoombinibaby8654]

This is AWESOME!

[@KuboshCreations]

Peter, this looks very promising!! Decisions decisions! Also, wondered how a little dome of UV resin on the coin or dog tag would look. Maybe add to the 3D look

[@meandjd]

If it has a conveyer belt, could you engrave a long image into a long piece of something. Thinking like those dress screens

[@Beregorn88]

I suggest you to try the color engraving on titanium, or niobium, if you can get your hand on it

[@simplyhard]

Wow, that's really cool!

[@amysprenkle9966]

can I haz cats? This machine is beyond incredible!! I can see you doing so many cool projects with this!!!

[@RandomHaney]

I really liked this video. I would also like to see it lazer engraver something long on the conveyor belt.

[@dieGRUVE]

OMG my wife would love that group of cats!

[@matryxmichaelcimino3913]

Can I has Cats PLEASE Your art work is always so inspiring I have watched you since you made theGummy Bear axe. Thanks for all you do. I had a TBI 20 years ago art really helped to pull me through some tough times . Your art and all the inspiration you have given has ment more to me and my drive to push my self in my art . So Thank You

[@Willasfantasyland]

can i haz cats? this thing is freaking awesome btw. the way it can control the oxide layer to make color.

[@GalacticGoddess46]

Oh my gosh i want one so bad!!!!

[@sticustom]

Hi Joel. Happy Retirement 🎉😊 I’d enter but I live in Australia 🇦🇺

[@gregslaughter9662]

Been watching you try out stuff for years. It's always a blast seeing how things turn out and new tools like the laser videos. Sometimes our cats would watch too lol. Looks like the pinned comment was locked for replies so I'll leave it here in this comment Can I haz cats?

[@Desecrator6]

Always love your stuff

[@julianmartinez1593]

This thing is so stinking cool

[@NorseButterfly]

This is amazing! I'm confused about something though. The video says it was uploaded 15 hours ago but the pinned comment by you was 2 days ago. I'm sure you've already chosen the winners, so congratulations to them! I was going to comment under the pinned post, but youtube won't let me.

[@veerleah]

Hi Joel, congrats on the retirement. The detail and those different colors are absolutely amazing! Can i has cats?

[@wit6665]

$5k woof! but the color lasering is real cool never saw that before. the conveyer belt and item orientation finder is real cool.

[@CatMama2]

Can i has cats... please? Dang, that laser tool is wicked awesome! I really enjoyed watching it work, and can't wait to see what all you come up with to use it for. :)

[@vbkfivn]

Hi Joel! Can i has cats? God this is a cool tool. I'm surprised that it worked out so well and the title itself blew my mind. I didn't it would work at all. Does it also work on wood?

[@kimbahrlee]

Can I has cats? Also would love to see if the lasers work on resin. Or the differences on different metal types!

[@DonSchomer]

That color laser engraving is Amazing! I had no idea there was such a thing. Can I has cats? My kid would love that tag

[@beach_life828]

I'm wondering if you can put resin over the coins and ID tags - it might really bring out the detail in the dragons ~

[@carneraerial]

For my daughter, who I’ve been watching your videos with since she was 4…. Can I has cats? She’s 12 now! Always enjoy the videos. Thanks for providing a great subject for years of daddy daughter time. We don’t watch without your videos without the other, only together!

[@mittensfastpaw]

Pretty nifty my friend!

[@monivk259]

Can I has cats? You have inspired me to try resin and get more serious with my crafting, its one of the lost fun and rewarding things i have done in a while, thanks for helping me expand my creativity

[@Scrogan]

How about colouring titanium? Laser rust removal?

[@mommyohs]

Can I has cats? That’s freaking amazing! As always,you’re awesome, Peter. Hi Mrs. Brown!

[@oges74]

Oh wow that looks amazing, can imagine the things you could do on it once you have really worked out the settings. Definitely putting this on my wish list Can i has cats?

[@DanielConstantinoS]

Thank you for the flashing lights warning ❤
