I love the sign behind Garrett! ... "Being a little weird is just a side effect of being awesome!" Love it!!!
I think it’s awesome that you’ve inspired your daughter to start her own business…what she will learn is priceless. I’m sure your support means the world to her. Just came across your channel…you do a great job. I have a very small laser but would love to get a larger one.
My wife and I just purchased a pro because of your review and the 500 off kicks ass! New subscribers as well!😉👍🏻
Just purchased my pro with your referral code! I can’t wait to see how this expands my business. Thank you for sharing!
Just ordered my Pro using your link/code. Cant wait to get started with mine!
Thank you both for sharing your journey with us all. I can't believe it's been a year already. I'm in North Carolina and I love all of your amazing craft ideas. I look forward to seeing what the rest of the year has in store for your family. Thank you
That is awesome! Thank you so much you too
It has been so great watching you guys succeed and grow. Love you both.
Aw thank you!
I sure miss laser engraving. My uncle owned a laser engraving shop in the 90s and closed up shop permanently in early 2000s. I worked there as a teen and I would take my baby to shop everyday. I sure miss my uncle. I dabble on variety of crafts, but really thinking about getting back into laser engraving.
Happy 1 year anniversary. Absolutely love all you do. Goals! I hope one day to own a Glowforge. Keep up the amazing job.
You should!
That's awesome! Keep up the great work. We love your videos. They are very informational and INSPIRATIONAL! You make crafting easier and I look forward to seeing more and more videos! Thank you!!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for the review and sharing the income possibilities. I was going to get one without realizing the serious money that can be made.
And thanks for the link!
Thank you so much for helping me to make up my mind! Also that discount makes me want to cry, it helps so so much. I have been without solid work since Covid, this could make the difference in me getting back on my feet. Thank you!
Good luck Kurem!!!
Love you guys, great chemistry energy. Thanks for all you offer us. 😀
Thanks for watching! you rick!
I can't believe it's been a year! I love your projects y'all make from it! Thanks for sharing, and have a great weekend.
Thank you! You too!
You guys are the best! Thanks so much for the information.
Once again, awesome video! Oh my goodness, I love the name Lola, it’s perfect. I am very new to the Glowforge community (last night mine arrived😍) and I am wondering if you could share some more videos on how you cut letters /words using it as well as doing the cut outs i.e. like your layered truck and such. You guy’s are truly the greatest and I have learned so much from you both. Keep up the Great Work!
I have not been here for your whole first year but from what I've seen about the glow forge I'm excited to get it down the road. I will use your coupon and help you guys out as well. Thanks for explaining your experience with this it helped me out so much. I appreciate all of your videos and especially this one. Congrats on 1 year Kim and Garrett good luck on many more years to come.
Awesome! Thank you!
I’ll definitely be using your link. I will be buying in a couple weeks.
I LOVE your channel & used your code to get my own glowforge! It's a slow process, but it absolutely is worth it. Only been under a month, but I have already made some amazing sales! Thanx SO much for all you share & create!
Awesome! Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that for you
Awesome review! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the review guys.
Love your videos! Just wanted to add that you can cut materials up to 2” thickness if you remove the steel crumb tray in the bottom. Happy Forging!
This has been such a fun year watching you guys! Congrats on Lola’s birthday!
Lol thank you!
Thank you for sharing. I was drawn in with your down to earth personalities. Glad I stopped by! New subbie!!…
Thanks for the video! I am planning to buy one in the future. Just waiting until the time is right. You guys have a great weekend and I have no doubt that you'll do great at the market. You guys always make fabulous things!
Awesome! Thank you! Glad we could help
You guys are great, thank you so much for everything you share.
Thanks for watching!
I enjoyed watching this and I'm thinking of getting the glow in '22. Thank you for making this, you seem like a great family. x
You should!Happy holidays :)
Thank you guys so much for this video! You guys are great.
Thank you too!
Ive been wanting to purchase a Glowforge for over a year. I’m new in the crafting world. You guys have inspired me to move forward with my crafting. I still haven’t purchased one, but hoping by the years end, I have one under the Christmas Tree!!!!
Aw I hope so for you!
Thank you ! I just purchased using your code. Can’t wait to get it.
Awesome! Thank you!
I’ve just gone through some major medical and everything I thought I was going to do with my life has changed. I’ve had to look for options for a home based business. I keep coming back to this video. It would be a perfect new career starter for me. Thanks for putting the info out there. Hope to join the Glowforge tribe someday! Love your videos!
You're so strong thanks for watching us!! We're so happy to get to positively impact in any way!
Thank you for sharing this with us, I’m saving up to buy one for my Etsy shop and stepping up on my sign making.
definitely recommend!
Nice video. I have only had Glo for 6 months and love it.
Very nice!I love that!
I am so glad I came across your channel! I used your discount code on a Pro this morning! yay! I am so super excited to get my Glowforge!
Hope you enjoy it! I am so happy to hear you're giving it a shot, you will NOT regret it
@@KimandGarrettmakeit Thank you. I purchased some 3D files i found on Etsy, have you tried the 3D ? i don't know anything about the system its self yet but I really hope the 3D files come out as they look.
@@deniseteague9854 I'd love for you to come back and tell us how it goes with the 3D files!
Really Great Review. You mentioned something about the noise I would like to have heard it working.
Thanks Again. Great Review
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video and discount! purchased one under your link so you should have money coming your way!
Wow thanks so much!!! We're glad we could help support
I would love to have a Lola! Congrats on your success. Love watching you guys
Thank you!! lol good luck
Great viedo...thanks for the information, very helpful! I've been wanting one but they are pricey. soon i hope...maybe end of 2024.
Hi you two I love my glowforge and have cut 10mm oak on mine, just slowed the cutting down. Also I have to slow it down with 6mm MDF, so it cuts in one go. The customer service has been great, every time I’ve asked, they have come back with in a day. As I’ve said before we have a scroll saw and with the two machines, things are great. Love to you all. Pat
That is awesome! thank you
thanks for sharing your information. I am waiting for delivery, i am so excited. i look forward to your videos.
Wow! Congrats I hope you enjoy it
I absolutely love how well you both compliment each other's personalities!! I am trying to talk my hubby into buying the pro mode to set up a smaller side businessl!! Any advice?
Love the video....SUBSCRIBING!!
Thank you for the review. So very helpful
Thanks for watching!
Congratulations with your anniversary and amazing sales figures! I have been wanting to buy a Pro for a while. I found your RUclips channel and you two are fantastic. Great energy and lots of laughs. I’ve had a 20W Ortur for about 3 weeks (all I can afford) for now. With the explosion of the laser cutting industry would you say you have up to maybe 5-6 marketing income sources? My head spins at all the ways to get customers. I used to be in territory sales, cold calling, etc., it’s mind blowing one doesn’t have to do that in today’s world. Thanks for the listen and keep that mfd cutting!
Thank you!! I completely agree all the different ways to market are insane!
New patron and new to glowforge. I had an 80watt CO2 when we lived in our house but now that we travel full time I don’t have space for the big laser. I’m loving everything about the glowforge except the 20” limit on width.
My biggest question before I order a ton of mdf from you guys is how does it hold up outside? Do you only paint with the chalk paint or do you clearcoat as well? Can’t wait to try my first pass through project and my first layered project. Thank you for sharing your tips and tricks and for going through a whole project when you film!! I’m one that needs to see start to finish!
This was helpful. And right when I was going to ask you guys how you like it compared to your xcarve... you beat me to it. So... good to know that you prefer the laser. I already have an xcarve and I was curious if it was worth getting the laser or if I should just stick with the Cnc. But yeah... I have issues with detail. Don’t really engrave with it. And more times than I’d like to admit a design breaks or fails. I’ve used an epilogue laser and have knowledge with Corel draw to make designs and svg a. One thing I haven’t seen was someone saying that they don’t recommend that filter because the replacements are expensive. So... that’s good to know. I have a window available and I can save that money for material. Thanks for the review.
Congratulations!
Thank you!
Thank you for a great video!
This is awsome 😍. Out of my budget 😀
I love watching you guys
Aw thanks!!
you got another follower and a friend. keep going forward
Wooh... I can't believe it's already been a year! 😳 I remember when you first bought it.
Wow! That's for being an OG lol
I love you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's a very helpful review, and you are a lovely couple. Thank you so much!
Would it appear safe to keep the Glowforge in a woodshop where there's bound to be dust in the air, or rather not?
I wanted to let you know today I got the discount and bought the Glowforge and you will get the money also, so look for it, I wanted you to beware of the money coming your way; Thank you!! I have look forward to more video from ya'll;)
Hi what's the best cut and print printer for at least 5 to 10 stacks of paper designs 🤔or print and cut in bulk
What settings do you use to cut 1/4”? I’m using the thick draft board setting to cut 1/8” material.
Congratulations ❣ lol LOLA 😆 WHOO-HOO
love the name Lola Sparks too cute!!! Question which fan would you recommend for the GF Pro? Thank you!
I will be using your code in the coming months to buy the biggest one they have.
thanks so much for using our link then! congratulations for sure on making the jump
Can someone tell me what the box next to the start button is?
Can you cut foam board which we get from dollar stores??how many at a time you can cut?
Question! I use a ton of 1/4 MDF and finding it harder and harder to find. Where do you get yours?
Can you carve designs into something like drinking glasses? Or does it only work on flat surfaces?
Can you engrave on round services, like cups
Super helpful video! Does your profit from the last year include what you made off of the affiliate link or is that strictly sales?
Dear brother and sister can you tell me which software is used for cutting? Which software is best suited for drawing miniature home designs?
Question on the 1/4 inch cut. They claim you can cut up to 1/2 inch. Is that true?
Question is this a side hustle? If so how many hours a week does it take up?
Will this cut a 1mm thick sheet of copper?
But what was the sales before you had the glowforge?
It would be nice if you could clarify if sales figures were net or gross. Cost of materials? Monetized social media numbers? Overhead?
Thanks for the review, what a nice laser. I have an Etsy shop and know that sales don't equal profit. I made over 120K in sales one year but my materials, overhead and cost of building my business was over half that so I only made around 55K profit that year. I'm looking into purchasing a laser but still unclear if it's worth it for my business. The cost of these lasers gets insane.
Thanks for sharing! defnitely make sure you're charging enough for your products wholesale and margins are HUGE!
What’s the weight of this machine ? Many thanks . It’s seems like Newzealand doesn’t have these machine .
How much time was spent to make that 60k ? was it like a full time job ? 8-9 hour days ?
i totally will buy it!
I reccomend!
You can align. Lower left corner.
So much info I will have to study this!!!!! Thanks for the no nonsense straight info!! Mike in LA, CALIF
Haha Yes an all glowforge info video for sure
Made $60k, but how much of that was profit from direct sales of the products themselves? How much was RUclips revenue? How many expenses (materials, etc) offset that profit?
You never said how much you made with it?
How awesome
I appreciation you telling us how much you made in a year. What I really want to know is... how much did you make in total sales to make 60k in a year? Thanks?
Great Information
Glad you think so!
I’m soooo confused between the pro and the plus. I think I want to go with the pro but that price tag sheesh lol.
So you made 60k in sales, but how much of that was fees and shipping for Etsy? I made 42k last year (without a glowforge or any expensive equipment) but over 10 grand of that was for fees and shipping. Also, last year wasn't typical, because of the pandemic, my sales increased drastically. And are back down this year, and even less this year. I doubt I'll make this year what I made in 2019. Actually I just checked and there's no way I will be even close by the end of December.
amazing.
What's it cost?
How many hours per week did you work to make that $66,000 ? I am wanting to make a retirement income, but don’t want to work 7 days a week. Thanks!
I love how every single ad for glowforge doesn't even tell you what it is. It's literally buy our product but we won't tell you what it is.
Usually if you're looking into a glowforge you know it's a laser cutter
@@KimandGarrettmakeit understandable, but it still doesn't even say it's a lazer cutter. As far as anyone knows it's a 3rd printer. Kinda weird on their advertisement side, but glowforge is still good
Just bought a glowforge plus, I emailed them your code. Now we wait for delivery lol
Hope you like it! Thanks so much for using our code!
I made the mistake of buying a boss laser, I bought the HP series because it will cut stainless. the biggest problem are the lenses and mirrors are garbage they make the laser light look like a galaxy reducing the cutting power, and I get the run around from boss they sound like they are helping but after almost 2 years of the same repeat questions and blaming me I bought a cheep knock off just to see if it was me or the laser, it was the laser. Burn on!!
Wow, a year. I love y'all and everything you make. Can you share your daughter's etsy store. Would love to check it out, too.
Of course!! Thank you for the interest! lemonfigshop.com/
I AM LOOKING TO BUY IT FOR THE PURPOSE OF CUTTING 3M MYLAR PLASTIC A PHOTO OF MY MOM WILL IT DO THAT?
Sorry I’d this is dumb question but thick of materials can this machine ACTUALLY cut??
I cut 1/4" mdf all day, every day. I did try 3/8" plywood and it didn't make it through all the way around.
Very informative. Are you able to cut acrylic?? Saw some colored material when you were showing the Gloforge materials. SUGGESTION: If you can cut acrylic, it would be awesome to cut the Christmas bulbs from your Christmas video where you used the tinted resin. Would be pretty cool to make some flowers too. Just a thought. When is your next live video?? Is it still going to be the ice cream ?? Good luck on the farmers market....hope you come home empty handed...SOLD OUT THAT IS♥️♥️♥️
Yes, you can cut acrylic.
60k after cost of materials and taxes ??
Thank you! Can you engrave metal with the glowforge
You can!
Wow. 👏 amaz ilove it
Thanks Magic Manny!
So tell me why you sold your Xtool and got the GF? I'm in the market and I can't make up my mind.
Would you guys consider having more then one machine or is one sufficient?
Hey Scott! We did get another laser, but we got a bigger cutting area laser from China. It's not nearly as easy to use as the Glowforge, there is a lot of trial and error. BUT it does cut bigger or more things at one time.
