I have to agree with the rest of the comments. A complete novice to laser engraving and most of the tutorials assume that you are an expert with computers and I was getting swamped. This is exactly what I need and far superior to anything else I have watched, thank you.
You are one of the best Rich. Your tutorials are the easiest to understand because you realise the struggles us newbies go through trying to learn the basics. i've progressed so far with your help. So I'd like to thank you so very much for your tutorials .
I've been listening to many teachers on RUclips. I have to tell you the truth, YOU are one of a kind teacher I've ever listen to and watch. I will give you an A+++++ and FIVE Stars *****. Thanks and please keep educating the public. SUCH A PATIENT TEACHER AND HUMOROUS EXPLAINER.
I have watched so many Lightburn videos and I keep getting lost. Then I watched one where the tutor had changed his cursor by adding a bright yellow highlighter around it and finally I was able to follow all the moves for the first time. Especially, as you point out, the menus can be moved anywhere you want, by the time I found the cursor it was moving somewhere else. My old eyes and old brain need all the help I can get if I’m going to learn this thing. I’m glad I found your playlist. I’m going to go thru the list in order and not get confused by someone else’s way of doing things. Perhaps I will manage to create a few gifts this Christmas.
Hands down the best 101 video that I've seen! Including the videos from the "company". I appreciate all of the people out there making videos to help us out, however this one really should be at the top for those of us who are beginning. I learned more during this video than I did in hours of watching other videos.
I am new to lasers and lightburn. What I was seeing in other videos was so complicated, I was about to give up. You have an incredible talent for explaining this. Keep it up please!
Finally someone who knows the tools for this program. I've been getting frustrated watching others hack their way through a simple project with 50 steps that I know in the back of my mind that there has to be a much shorter route.
I’ve watched nearly a dozen of your videos over the last few days, since I received my xTool D1. I can’t believe the time and patience you’ve put into doing all of your tutorials. I am absolutely amazed and very very greatful of everything you’ve put together in your store and forum. I did my very first laser burn last night for my fiancé of the 3 cats for Mother’s Day and she absolutely loved it. Can’t thank you enough Rich. Very appreciated.
I’ve had my laser for two years and I immediately paid for light burn because everyone said it was the best. But I’ve been so frustrated with different things for instance I would bring an image in trace it to see if the line at the bottom was going to burn into the image, then go into gimp to crop it then export back to light burn. All I’m saying is I’ve learned more in 30 minutes than I did in two years. I’ve subscribed to the channel and will watching more videos and this one over again
You are absolutely the best teacher for light burn ! I am so new to all of this and was so confused after watching other videos. Now with you in my corner I just might be able to figure this out after all. Thank you for taking the time to put together a complete library of videos on how to use this software . Much appreciated!!!
Great tutorial. Thank you! As an old-school developer and hacker, my rule of thumb is that I don’t read directions or watch tutorials. But I was anxious to use my new laser and to shorten the learning curve, I came across your tutorial. First tutorial I ever watched from start to finish. Great job!
Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge. You are a proficient instructor who anticipates your students' questions and then provide very understandable answer at a pace that allows me to digest what you are saying. Thank you for your assistance. Regards, David
Outstanding! I just purchased a laser engraver and Light Burn software, and my head was spinning until I watched your video. You've done a fantastic job showing the ins and outs of the software while keeping it easy. I'm now enjoying using these two products with your help. Thank you!
Hello Rich .... having read through most of the comments ... What is left for me to say! Your presentations are amazing. You're so easy to understand and follow, I have learned more from watching your instructions then I could've ever learned from the manual. Thank you so much for all your time and the work you're putting into the videos
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Lightburn. I just ordered my first laser and want to get a grasp of Lightburn before it arrives. Your tutorials are clear and easy to follow. For someone who is older and needs concise instructions, your are great.
Spent my weekend setting up an OLM2 Pro and trying to find videos that would help me with Lightburn. I found this on Monday morning and learned more in 30 minutes than I did in 2 days of not very good RUclips videos. Thanks!
Thank you so much for putting this series of tutorials out. I have watched countless videos on Lightburn and nobody seems to go past the basic shapes, framing and turning on the fire button. I feel a lot more confident with the software now.
You're very welcome Robert! I was in the same boat as you a few months ago, which is why I started sharing my learning process. For me, it's not about growing the RUclips channel and getting more views, it's about learning and sharing curve with others... *thank you for wonderful comment!*
Awesome tutorial. After watching several other so-called tutorials, this one was the most helpful. To the point, no annoying music, no home-grown shortcuts. No more need to bring up paint or photo shop to manipulate images.
Glad it helped Kurt! You know everyone has their own way of doing things, and if it works, I say go for it. But I try and find the easiest way to do things.
Thanks for putting a great 'baby steps' guide to Lightburn for beginners! I notice a lot of intuitive/functional similarities between Lightburn and SketchUp. I'm hoping it shortens the learning curve to get up to speed with a new software/platform. Your detailed instruction is sure to be part of that experience! Best, Matt
for the weld 2 button if you have more shapes than 2 then I think you can select only 2 and weld by clicking only 2 and not all the shapes. but i am new so i dont know for sure why they made the 3 or 2 weld for sure yet. I love your tutorials man they help me tremendously! so thank you so much! keep helping your a great teacher. we need more people like you!
I have to agree with everyone. Best videos I've seen. So many have loud music, they don't pronounce words clearly, or blasting through it like everyone knew what the speaker was doing. It was a perfect speed, covered things without blasting you with too many options. I'm hooked. I can't wait to see the rest. I'm intrigued by the art library. I have so many designs now and now nice way to find them. So off I go. THANKS a million!
You're more than welcome. I have accumulated so many designs. But then they were so disorganized. This way I have them organized and easier get too. A total game changer. Along with working on cut libraries. @@TheLouisianaHobbyGuy
This video is amazing, I am so glad I found it on RUclips, I've had my laser for almost a year and have learned more watching these videos than I have in almost a year of watching others. Thank you. Quick question on the line and fill selection is there any way to keep the line after fill setting to something slower at all times, mine defaults to 6000 mm everytime, I ask this knowing that I can change it from 6000 mm to what I want, but sometimes I forget to and after a a fine fill it goes wild and jostles the whole laser. Thanks again.
Thank you Rick! I really appreciate the comments! ✔ To your question... Yes Sir, you can. Draw a square, and then on the Cuts / Layers tab, double click the layer to bring up the cut settings editor. Enter the default speed and power that you always want to start at, and then at the bottom of the window, click the box that says, Make Default for All. Hope that helps you!
Hi sir!! Let me start off by saying I'm a fellow Louisiana guy born and raised in New orleans. I just wanted to say thank you for all your videos you are very knowledgeable about the programs and lasers. Your like a guru of laser craft. But seriously thank you for your videos you make it easy keep them coming
I found your channel a few weeks ago and have learned a lot from this video. I agree with others there is no comparison to your teaching sir you genuinely have a gift for this. Thank you so much for taking the time to produce these for all of us.
There is not enough thumbs ups to convey how wonderful your tutorial is. Much thanks and gratefulness for your expertise and thoughtful tutorial. Such a relief and pleasure to learn from you, a confirmation that the teacher makes all the difference and you sir are a great teacher. Huge thank you from Portland Oregon!
Thank you for not rushing through the points, for the new person to these types of programs, they can surely be intimidating, even though I did have to back up a few times as I missed where the pointer was clicking, but still you do so well at this, I understand you have been doing it quite awhile, thanks again .
I was downloading both photoshop and illustrator when I found your video! You saved my sanity-in advance. My machine hasnt even shown up yet but Im hooked now on learning the software-from you....thank you!
Multiple times in this video I had to pause it and put my hands on my skull to make sure my brain hadn't literally exploded. These tools are so unbelievably powerful and you've explained them so simply that I almost can't fathom the opportunities you've opened. I have no doubt that you are the #1 go to guy for learning LightBurn!
I always come back for a refresh of certain functions that I have not used in a while....Thanks once again Rich for taking your time doing these videos👍
Thank you, Rich You are a ANGLE for people like me, just getting started with a laser, and I would not have bough a laser if it wasn't for your awesome teaching witch is so in-depth and step-by-step videos that are so incredibly helpful and easy to follow. I also love seeing the process from beginning to end, including any glitches and problems that your incredible knowledge finds along the way. I think that people need to know that you were a VOLUNTEER FIRE FIGHTER MEDIC and your still helping people today. That speaks volumes of how GREAT a CHRISTIAN person you are. So I THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU Keep up the awesome work! GOD BLESS YOU
I do believe I have learned more in the past 12 minutes than I have in the past 2 weeks! Thank you so much for your video and talking slow and explaining every step! Was able to take notes now I am ready to start designing stuff!
OMG finally :-) i found someone who explains things that a new person can work out. My husband brought my a laser cutter last year in April but its been sitting their doing nothing because i couldn't work out how to use Lightburn or even the laser cutter and i contacted the company i brought my machine from for help and they sent me to their closed fakebook group and their youtube channel and gave me a book to download to read. Well none of that helped me i thought it was so i did my first cut and the first cut tuned out wasn't cutting and then when it did looked horrible and i gave up because all their info i couldn't work out. But you have made it so i can understand and now i am off to have a play with lightburn and have some fun Thank you
Thank you so much I've learned more in the first 10 mins than hours of other vids. You don't know what this means, my wife and I are trying to learn to generate some much needed extra income. I was ready to send it back but you've given us hope.
Great Video! No music in the background, no special effects, straight to the point, again great video...learning a lot from you Sir. Thank you! (Subscribed)
Bought another laser some time ago. a k40 with a mini gerbil board and light burn. I once had a trial version but I didn't like it because I didn't understood it. Your videos bring light into the darkness. You are my favorite laser guru.😀
Best explanation on how to start with Lightburn I have seen. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Thank you for making this video. A lot of the information in this video will not only help people in Lightburn, but Word, Silhouette and other media software that use the same universal functions. This is so very helpful.
Very glad that I found your channel. Your delivery is very calm and easy to learn from. I have been messing around with this for a year now, and some of the things I learned from this video have been super helpful especially the whitespace setting. Thank you.
When my laser arrives I will be purchasing Lightburn. Your video was super helpful and I will be watching it again once I get my equipment. Can't wait to watch more of your videos.
Just WOW. I knew lightburn software was good and that it was just me that was rubbish and this brilliant video has proved it. Please make more of these because you have just increased my knowledge 10 fold. Thanks very much 👍😀
I bought the latest 20W Atomstack Pro with the extension kit a few months ago. It's a fantastic piece of kit and really good quality. The built-in air assist is brilliant and easy to use. I've had loads of fun with it but I've realised that you have to put the effort in and learn how to use the software. There are no instruction books so an online course or RUclips videos like yours are essential. I
Just getting started with lasers, so glad I clicked on your video. Having come from the CNC world a lot of what you have said will make the learning curve so much easier. Thanks so much!
I"m not going to finish this video before I tell you how extremely HELPFUL this has been! I have learned more in the first 7 minutes with you than the first 7 DAYS of other RUclips videos. THANK YOU! #subscribed
I give God credit for everything including people like you. This was hands down a video that works better than any anxiety medicine I could take. We just received our eight boxes or so with our new XD1 Pro and I felt totally overwhelmed. It has been one of those things where you can not wait for it to get here and - oh no now that it is here where do I start. I enjoyed the pace you went and how well you did explaining and showing and sometime reshowing how to do something. Thanks again!
Awesome! New to Lightburn. I was about to give up on the program due to lack of instructions. Best video I have seen. Love how you explain the shortcuts instead of just doing them. so many videos just use them and then your lost trying to do what they just did with no idea how the did it. You show be doing the companies videos. So much better than theirs. Look forward to watch more. Thank you so much for your time doing these.
Man I am so thankful to you. I have now been creating new designs and burning everything I can with my 10-watt. I fill now like I want to upgrade. From knowing nothing about this stuff to Already selling Items to people in what 3 weeks. 85% Louisana Hobby" Teaching. Lightburn and Longer Ray5, Lightburn IS WORTH IT! Don't need any other software. ✌
i've been super confused and you've simplified everything your amazing seriously cant i wait to try all your tips ill be back to tell you how well they all work thanks a billion in advance
Hey, I’ve only just started watching and I love the pop-up that says you are intentionally moving slowly. I know this is going to be a fantastic tutorial. Thank God somebody knows this is very helpful.
I just want to say wow. I am new to lightburn and this is the best tutorial I have found. Amazing work, easy to follow and understand. Light burn for dummies! Lol Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much!! You make what seemed to be complicated, pretty straight forward. I appreciate you and all your effort. You make it so much easier than trying to figure all this out by myself!!!
I am also new to use a laser cutter and engraver. So excited to learn. You have helped me more to understand it. I got a Kentol Pro and I know nothing about it lol. Just know I want to learn how to use it. I have burned wood and painted it but this is a new challenge for me. Thank you for your viedo
Thank you so much for these videos! I have watched others and felt completely overwhelmed at all the steps they take or how fast they go, but yours are perfect! You make this seem less scary :) Thank you so much!
Thank you for all you do Rich, just purchased Lightburn through the link provided in your description, so I'm hoping you get a little lovin back from them, you are amazing, and should be on their payroll for all you do!
Just ran across this video and within the first couple mins I have to say, outstanding! I too have a watched other videos, same subject, and stopped watching after a short period. Looking forward to the rest and hopefully much more. Great job!!
This is the BEST video. I am a newbie and still have so much to learn, but you have taught me so much already in this video alone. I will defiantly be following and watching for more of your videos !
This was sooooo helpful. Now I can buy Lightburn and know I won’t have such a high learning curve. Thank you so much for going slow. Thanks also for sharing.
This is incredibly clear and straightforward, thanks very much. Now I'm going to look for a video in your pile that talks to line versus offset fill and raster versus screen fills. But this was by far the best starting point i have found with light burn
First off, great tutorial video! The sales person I spoke to seemed to think I needed Corel for the graphics side and light burn to control the laser functions, so I bought both programs. Had I caught your video 24 hours ago I could have saved $$$. Thanks again for the video!
Thank you so much, new to this game and have just spent two weeks pulling my hair out trying to figure out lightburn! This was so easy to understand and so well explained!,,
I'm only halfway though and wow what a awesome video. I'm amazed at how powerful some of these software programs are but basically zero information on how to use it. Lightburn should pay to have you provide this information
I enjoy making these videos! And I love seeing other people learning from them, enjoying the hobby and creating new things! Thanks so much for the comment!
Thanks for your video. I'm a scrollsaw wood crafter, and last year I strayed onto the dark side and bought a laserpecker as I often get asked if I can engrave some of my work, I went for it mainly because I wouldn't need to learn to computer 🤣 I've just ordered an atomstack x7pro, and I'm now feeling less alarmed about being able to use it when it arrives as I can see similarities between lightburn and inkscape which I have bumbled around over the years. Expect I'll be checking back in a lot when it arrives, thanks 😊
Don't worry Gillian, you got this! I have a lot of project videos and more on the way explaining how to do things step-by-step. Just follow along and you'll be an expert in no time!
I’m new to laser and Lightburn, but I’m not totally new to graphic design software. I think I saw the guy making the acrylic for the light base. I was definitely talking to him through the screen while he was doing that! 😂 I’m no pro, so I’ll be following along with your Lightburn series. That’s for teaching this in a way that’s logical to me. 😊
Your videos are a game changer for me , I have watched a lot of Lightburn videos but none even close to your knowledge of the software , I subscribed and am looking forward to watching more 👍
I have to agree with the rest of the comments. A complete novice to laser engraving and most of the tutorials assume that you are an expert with computers and I was getting swamped. This is exactly what I need and far superior to anything else I have watched, thank you.
Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment!
I totally agree. Brand new to this and was feeling completely overwhelmed. This is brilliant, absolutely best I’ve seen. Thank you so much.
I've been searching for a "teacher" to help start me on my path with Lightburn. Finally found you! Thank you for ending my frustration!
You are one of the best Rich. Your tutorials are the easiest to understand because you realise the struggles us newbies go through trying to learn the basics.
i've progressed so far with your help. So I'd like to thank you so very much for your tutorials .
I'm so happy to hear that Arthur!
I've been listening to many teachers on RUclips. I have to tell you the truth, YOU are one of a kind teacher I've ever listen to and watch. I will give you an A+++++ and FIVE Stars *****. Thanks and please keep educating the public. SUCH A PATIENT TEACHER AND HUMOROUS EXPLAINER.

Glad it was helpful!
I can’t express how grateful I am for having found your videos!
I'm so glad, thanks!

I also have watched so many videos, but, you explanation is on point. Thank your for making this process easier for me. Bravo Sir!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks to you i have officially weaned myself off laserbox. Great tutorials. Easy to understand. Thank you so much.
Great to hear Christopher! 👍
I do believe I have learned more in the past 12 minutes than I have in the past 2 weeks! Thank you so much for your video and talking slow and explaining every step! Was able to take notes now I am ready to start designing stuff!
*Wonderful Kim! I'm so glad to hear that! Go get 'em!*
OMG finally :-) i found someone who explains things that a new person can work out. My husband brought my a laser cutter last year in April but its been sitting their doing nothing because i couldn't work out how to use Lightburn or even the laser cutter and i contacted the company i brought my machine from for help and they sent me to their closed fakebook group and their youtube channel and gave me a book to download to read. Well none of that helped me i thought it was so i did my first cut and the first cut tuned out wasn't cutting and then when it did looked horrible and i gave up because all their info i couldn't work out.
But you have made it so i can understand and now i am off to have a play with lightburn and have some fun Thank you
Wow! Thank you so much Pamela! I truly appreciate hearing comments like this! 👍
I've been on the fence about downloading Lightburn but after watching this tutorial, I'M CONVINCED.
You won't regret it!
Thank you so much I've learned more in the first 10 mins than hours of other vids. You don't know what this means, my wife and I are trying to learn to generate some much needed extra income. I was ready to send it back but you've given us hope.
Great to hear!
Great Video! No music in the background, no special effects, straight to the point, again great video...learning a lot from you Sir. Thank you! (Subscribed)
Thanks for the sub!
Bought another laser some time ago. a k40 with a mini gerbil board and light burn. I once had a trial version but I didn't like it because I didn't understood it. Your videos bring light into the darkness. You are my favorite laser guru.😀
Thanks Ben!
Thank you for really breaking it down! finally someone that actually explains each function and the how to. I appreciate you!
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Best explanation on how to start with Lightburn I have seen. Thank you for sharing. Everyone stay safe, warm, happy and healthy. From Henrico County Virginia
Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate the comments!
Thank you for making this video. A lot of the information in this video will not only help people in Lightburn, but Word, Silhouette and other media software that use the same universal functions. This is so very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Very glad that I found your channel. Your delivery is very calm and easy to learn from. I have been messing around with this for a year now, and some of the things I learned from this video have been super helpful especially the whitespace setting. Thank you.
Thank you so much Jerry! I really appreciate it! 👍
When my laser arrives I will be purchasing Lightburn. Your video was super helpful and I will be watching it again once I get my equipment. Can't wait to watch more of your videos.
Awesome! Thank you Jill!
Just WOW. I knew lightburn software was good and that it was just me that was rubbish and this brilliant video has proved it. Please make more of these because you have just increased my knowledge 10 fold. Thanks very much 👍😀
Great to hear David, thanks!
I bought the latest 20W Atomstack Pro with the extension kit a few months ago. It's a fantastic piece of kit and really good quality. The built-in air assist is brilliant and easy to use. I've had loads of fun with it but I've realised that you have to put the effort in and learn how to use the software. There are no instruction books so an online course or RUclips videos like yours are essential.

Thank you it’s like so many people are just filming themselves to get views and not really helping us! But you dude are the GOAT!
I appreciate that, *thanks!* 👍
Just getting started with lasers, so glad I clicked on your video. Having come from the CNC world a lot of what you have said will make the learning curve so much easier. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful Stephen! Welcome to the obsession! 🤪
Wish I had watched this first! So much useful information in a relatively short amount of time. Thank you!
I'm glad you found it helpful Oliver!
I"m not going to finish this video before I tell you how extremely HELPFUL this has been! I have learned more in the first 7 minutes with you than the first 7 DAYS of other RUclips videos. THANK YOU! #subscribed
I'm so glad! Thanks!
I give God credit for everything including people like you. This was hands down a video that works better than any anxiety medicine I could take. We just received our eight boxes or so with our new XD1 Pro and I felt totally overwhelmed. It has been one of those things where you can not wait for it to get here and - oh no now that it is here where do I start. I enjoyed the pace you went and how well you did explaining and showing and sometime reshowing how to do something. Thanks again!
Wow! Thanks for the wonderful comments Ken! Much appreciated!
you are a life saver with this dang laser, I might have sold it by now if I hadn't found your channel.
Awesome! Thanks John, glad to help!
Simplify is the best part of this video thanks again
Glad it helped!
Learned more from that one video than all others I've seen put together.
Super fantastic
Awesome, thank you!
Awesome! New to Lightburn. I was about to give up on the program due to lack of instructions. Best video I have seen. Love how you explain the shortcuts instead of just doing them. so many videos just use them and then your lost trying to do what they just did with no idea how the did it. You show be doing the companies videos. So much better than theirs. Look forward to watch more. Thank you so much for your time doing these.
Glad it helped Roger!
Hands down, the best RUclips tutorial that I have found. So glad I found you!!
Wow! Thank you so much Kevin! I appreciate the comments!
Man I am so thankful to you. I have now been creating new designs and burning everything I can with my 10-watt. I fill now like I want to upgrade.

Lightburn and Longer Ray5, Lightburn IS WORTH IT! Don't need any other software. ✌

Glad to hear this Ashley!
Hey, I’ve only just started watching and I love the pop-up that says you are intentionally moving slowly. I know this is going to be a fantastic tutorial. Thank God somebody knows this is very helpful.
Welcome aboard!
Your video is excellent , watched 4 times . Learned more on this one video in two days than I have in 3 mths. searching for help, thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for the comment!
I just want to say wow. I am new to lightburn and this is the best tutorial I have found. Amazing work, easy to follow and understand.
Light burn for dummies! Lol
Thank you for sharing!
You're very welcome Candace! Remember to subscribe and hit the bell notifications!
Loved it!!! Thank you so much. I currently just installed the 30 day trial. After watching this, I am so buying this software! It's incredible! TY!!
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much!! You make what seemed to be complicated, pretty straight forward. I appreciate you and all your effort. You make it so much easier than trying to figure all this out by myself!!!
Glad to help Karen!
I am also new to use a laser cutter and engraver. So excited to learn. You have helped me more to understand it. I got a Kentol Pro and I know nothing about it lol. Just know I want to learn how to use it. I have burned wood and painted it but this is a new challenge for me. Thank you for your viedo
You are so welcome Karen; happy to help!
Thank you so much for these videos! I have watched others and felt completely overwhelmed at all the steps they take or how fast they go, but yours are perfect! You make this seem less scary :) Thank you so much!
Awesome! 👍 Thanks for watching!
Thank you for all you do Rich, just purchased Lightburn through the link provided in your description, so I'm hoping you get a little lovin back from them, you are amazing, and should be on their payroll for all you do!
Awesome, thank you Donald! But no, sadly they don't have a referral program 😒 I would be a millionaire by now! 🤪
Just ran across this video and within the first couple mins I have to say, outstanding! I too have a watched other videos, same subject, and stopped watching after a short period. Looking forward to the rest and hopefully much more. Great job!!
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you liked it!
hats off this is the BEST lightburn tutorial. Better than the creators' ones.
Wow! Thank you so much! I appreciate the comment!
This is the BEST video. I am a newbie and still have so much to learn, but you have taught me so much already in this video alone. I will defiantly be following and watching for more of your videos !
I'm so happy to hear that Sherry! I need more ladies involved! You guys have the World's creativity locked up in those brains! 😁
This was sooooo helpful. Now I can buy Lightburn and know I won’t have such a high learning curve. Thank you so much for going slow. Thanks also for sharing.
You're so welcome! The learning curve isn't bad at all!
Best Video I have seen explaining everything step by step and easy to follow
Glad it helped Pramod!
This is incredibly clear and straightforward, thanks very much. Now I'm going to look for a video in your pile that talks to line versus offset fill and raster versus screen fills. But this was by far the best starting point i have found with light burn
Awesome, thank you!
First off, great tutorial video! The sales person I spoke to seemed to think I needed Corel for the graphics side and light burn to control the laser functions, so I bought both programs. Had I caught your video 24 hours ago I could have saved $$$. Thanks again for the video!
Oh, sorry to hear that!
I agree with Jeff - the best video for a beginner like me ever!!! I will certainly be keeping an eye on any future videos. Thanks Hobby Guy.
Awesome, thank you Peter!
Very illustrative and educational. Thank you for being the light on the path.
Glad it was helpful Rey!
I am glad I came across this Lightburn training video as I might have spent hours learning from other videos.👍
Glad it was helpful Malcolm!
Best channel for understanding with detailed explanation for new users.
Thank you so much :)
Glad it was helpful Maleeha!
Thank you so much, new to this game and have just spent two weeks pulling my hair out trying to figure out lightburn! This was so easy to understand and so well explained!,,
Glad I could help Valerie!
Thank You, I just spent 2+hours doing slots, I loved this video.
Glad you enjoyed!
I'm only halfway though and wow what a awesome video. I'm amazed at how powerful some of these software programs are but basically zero information on how to use it. Lightburn should pay to have you provide this information
I enjoy making these videos! And I love seeing other people learning from them, enjoying the hobby and creating new things! Thanks so much for the comment!
Thanks for your video.
I'm a scrollsaw wood crafter, and last year I strayed onto the dark side and bought a laserpecker as I often get asked if I can engrave some of my work, I went for it mainly because I wouldn't need to learn to computer 🤣
I've just ordered an atomstack x7pro, and I'm now feeling less alarmed about being able to use it when it arrives as I can see similarities between lightburn and inkscape which I have bumbled around over the years.
Expect I'll be checking back in a lot when it arrives, thanks 😊
Don't worry Gillian, you got this! I have a lot of project videos and more on the way explaining how to do things step-by-step. Just follow along and you'll be an expert in no time!
I’ve wasted so much time watching other channels🤦♂️ this is great! Thanks Rich!!!!
Glad you enjoy it Scott!
Excellent tutorial, many thanks. One of the best I've seen on RUclips anywhere.
Wow, thanks Gerry!
Nicely done! concise and to the point! Fast enough to cover the necessities but not so fast it couldn’t be followed. 👏
Glad you liked it Victor!
soy cubano radicado en chile. me gusta mucho tu trabajo y lo sigo, estoy aprendiendo lightburn gracias a ti. saludos
¡Maravilloso de escuchar! ¡Gracias por ver!
I just received my laser engraver. I was having a hard time understanding how to use lightburn. This video is very helpful. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful Paul! Welcome to the obsession! 🤪
I’m new to laser and Lightburn, but I’m not totally new to graphic design software. I think I saw the guy making the acrylic for the light base. I was definitely talking to him through the screen while he was doing that! 😂 I’m no pro, so I’ll be following along with your Lightburn series. That’s for teaching this in a way that’s logical to me. 😊
I appreciate that, *thanks!*
Your videos are a game changer for me , I have watched a lot of Lightburn videos but none even close to your knowledge of the software , I subscribed and am looking forward to watching more 👍
Wow, thanks Brad!
