    Just ran my preorder locally for these starting a few days ago. In just under 24 hours, I had over $300 dollars in preorders with a few orders still rolling in every day. My Glowforge is going to be cooking this month between these and my other products!
    This is a fantastic product, a fantastic set of files and is 100% worth the money if anyone is even remotely thinking about it. Thanks so much for this!

    Would this work with the cricut cutting bass wood and using a 12x24 mat?

    @jerrysantos1148 3 года назад

    thanks for your videos. I'm a new user and have a quick question for you: is it necessary to mask both sides of the wood? I thought you only mask the side you are engraving on.

    • @customgrainsdesigns2226
      @customgrainsdesigns2226  3 года назад +1

      On certain projects you will want to mask the back too especially if you’re cutting. If someone will also see the back like an ornament you will want to mask. As the laser cuts the material, the smoke gets trapped under the material and creates the Smokey look on the back side

    Thanks for your videos! Been cutting decals and selling online for over 15 years but just got my laser this week. Curious about how you handle long names? I cut a lot of memorial decals and sometimes the names can be super long. Do you limit the number of letters or somehow make the ornament bigger to fit it?

  • @customgrainsdesigns2226

    For the people asking about masking the material, I made a video on masking. It's on how I do it and what I use:

    Love this Idea... Does Inkscape have Variable Data, like Illustrator? Something to look into, imagine not having to set each name by individually, just run a script and have a dozen or so orders ready to cut... Also... If you can come up with a way of the client being able to add layers as new generations come, keep the client coming back, and make the oriniment an heirloom...

    When you do preorders like this, do you ask the customers to pre-pay when they order or do they pay upon “delivery”?

      You are right! I should have said sales instead of made. It's not $1400 in profit. Subtracting materials it's probably around $1100 or $1200, I didn't get a chance to really do profit yet.

I am frequently asked by people who see my products if I sell them and I now tell them yes, but I do more bowls and pens in the woodshop. Cutting boards, and plaques. I am adding the laser to my work so I can do much more.
