The algorithm recommended your channel! Love your content, mate! This was incredible, very smart use of the laser. Subscribing and watching everything else now.
Great work!
Awesome, thank you! Glad you liked it and great to have you along.
Like how you casually shared that awesome fish. 😅 Also, the kid-opening-Christmas-presents excitement when you got it to work. Great stuff! Cheers!
Thanks!!! The fish is pivotal to the whole project working, without that I think the whole thing would have been sunk.
This is really cool! I remember talking about this and thinking it was probably impossible.
Those last ones look really good and I kind of like the dark line around the dovetails. Almost like a shadow line.
Yeah I am surprised that is actually worked in some decently thick wood. I would like to refine it a bit more, but think I am hit up against the wood density variability limit perhaps.
What about other materials? Plywood? Aluminum? Watermelon rinds?
For this laser, this one looks like it can do up to a half inch without severe charring as this is a diode laser. It can cut through most organic materials and laser safe plastics. For metals, it should be able to mark them if using a marking solution @@gmvader
Oh man, now I really want to try Watermelon rind dovetails for a fancy party.
Matthew, you are amazing!!!
Why thanks! I think you are as well :)
Very cool! Although I have to admit I want to race the laser cutter. My hand cut dovetails against Skynet's laser.
That would be an awesome race! I will admit, if design time goes into it then you will 100% win.
Fun video. New subscriber. Might make these on my laser too.
Thanks for the sub! If you do let me know how it goes. I would love to see this catch on.
I kind of think a laser is more of a speciality tool than a 30quid saw..... Fascinating vid though!
Yeah I totally agree. This is not the way to cut dovetails in any project, more a curiosity if I could make it work. I like using things in non-intended ways :)
@@BuildItMakeIt |I dunno, give it 10 years of lazer progress and we may all be doing it this way!
Yeah, 3D printers have really come along. Maybe lasers are the next "thing"
Great video, I just searched for dovetail joints with laser and your video came up.
I’m about to purchase one of the two: Creality Falcon 2 22W or Two Trees TS2 20W , would you recommend any of these ?
Do you think with a 20W laser I could do dovetail joints as well?
I think the Creality Falcon 2 is probably a more reliable company behind it. Yeah I think the 20W should work, it just takes more passes. Let me know how it goes!
You are what would happen if Hank Green and Nate from TKOR got a baby together
Perhaps the greatest compliment of all time. Good day to you sir!
