Hey, I would really love to hear your story, and all the small details about how you went from working, to starting your laser business at home , and how you came to be where you are now. How you did it. That would be awesome, if you could please find the time. That would be so inspirational. Thankyou so much again Matt. Your the best dude.
Love your videos they are really helping me out. I started a new business with Thunder Laser Nova 35 100 watt. So far having a blast but can't wait till I can do it full time!!!
I can add a few things, glass jars ( candy, candles ) Libby or Millaca unclaimed freight ! Leather ( all colors and sizes ) Discount fabric in Brooklyn Park ! I also frequent Salvation Army and Goodwill and buy my metal from Crow River farm and Machinery in Otsego . Yes by far AMAZON is my best supplier but buy in bulk , if there’s a use for it making other things type like plexiglass or acrylic sheets instead of cutting boards ….. think outside the box ! I purchased Emory boards $4 for 100 not arts and crafts sanding boards were $15 for 50 !
I am new to the laser engraving business. Thanks to channels like yours, I'm not completely lost. With that being said, I am trying to source a multi tool that I can put a custom engraving on and sell. I've looked at Amazon and Walmart. Do you have a better idea? Thank you
Discount Trophy aka Marcos Awards are great national sources for many many laserable items. Plus they have numerous warehouses on the east, west, and central US.
I took your advice and bought rtic tumbler. First I love that they're machine washable and can go through my m1 and not smell like vomit after being engraved. I am wondering what your settings are as I've been through a couple, and I can't seem to get a reliable, perfect engraving. Thanks
I have been in Restaurant business for 20 plus years. I just sold my last Restaurant and moving (still in decision making process) to Engraving business. I would buy glasses from a local Restaurant equipment supplier. I am in S.F. bay Area, Restaurant Economy supply(now TriMark) in S.F. and Sacramento are the cheapest. Dollar store is another option but quality is not the same.
Hey, if you are buying from Johnson Plastics, you need to get tumblers, and lots more from JDS Industries, sell to businesses only. I have a trophy shop so I order from JP and JDS all the time. Bottle openers too at jds. You are doing a good job helping newbies.
Great video. Being in Houston, I am fond of RTIC! I get tumblers from them and also from JDS Industries...prices are good at each. Might be my imagination but I feel like the quality of RTIC might be a little higher but might be my Houston bias! 😉
great new channel. Love all your videos. keep up the great work!! BTW: i still have not bought a laser (as of yet). I decided to start off with custom printing items, T-Shirts, Coffee Mugs, Blankets, Glass ware, ect. You and Sara are my hero's!
This is 3 years after your post recommending RTIC. I notice they now offer personalization for $5 each. Did your vendor steal your business? Do you still use them or have you found another drinkware supplier?
Can you add guidance on how to get that sample ring of laser able wood? I reached out to them and they sent me 3 pieces.... and it wasn't nearly as nice as what you showed here in this video
can you please help me? im trying to purchase a laser engraver that will do wood, glass and metal like the bottle openers, was looking at the atomstack x20 pro but not sure what to do, Thank you :)
I just wash your videos I have a sign shop for 20 years any think I can help let me know also tumblers also on JDS Industries they have one name camel or polar God Bless you and your wife for sharing let know if was helpful for you
Bro iam an indian i want purchase laser for metel and wooden acralic cutter and engraving machine so i want cheap laser machine if you suggest me soethig for laser
@@laserengravingwithmatt indeed I get my engraver very soon I used them for sublimation items. I’m looking for a supplier that sell the Mdf sublimation board at a great price I know they do unisub cause I was adding the it to cut hard board and do some engraving. Yea his video was amazing and you definitely earned a subscriber with me thank you 🙏

Bottle openers are also available from Webstaurant and JDS. Not sure how cost compares to Amazon.

Thanks. After I made this video we got accepted to JDS and it has been awesome. Thanks for kind words.
@@laserengravingwithmatt jds is my favorite supplier of all of the ones out there, customer service is the Best!
How much JDS leatherette cost?
Have you ordered much from Temu? Wondering if they're any good, they do seem to have lots and lots of stuff (bottle openers, for example).
No way. People never get what they order.
@@laserengravingwithmatt Great to know, thanks!
Great video - what are your best picks for wood types to make cutting boards??
Maple cherry black walnut is just a starter 😃
Have you come across any 8 x 8 tiles for engraving?
No
Great video. Being in Houston, I am fond of RTIC! I get tumblers from them and also from JDS Industries...prices are good at each. Might be my imagination but I feel like the quality of RTIC might be a little higher but might be my Houston bias! 😉
😃
I just started getting into laser engraving myself and I may have a solution for you with the bottle openers.
Send me a email. My email is in the about page.

The dollar store is a great place to get glassware.

This is 3 years after your post recommending RTIC. I notice they now offer personalization for $5 each. Did your vendor steal your business? Do you still use them or have you found another drinkware supplier?
I use them if the customers want them they don’t offer big engraving only small and no one likes it
how do you calculate your mark up for laser engraving
I have a video on that
Do you have a video showing how you make stamps?
Yup. ruclips.net/video/ORYobar068o/видео.html
Thank you for sharing your research👍
No problem thanks for watching

Ali Express has bottle openers as well

I thought for sure that you were from Canada based on how you said "about". Turns out you're just a fellow Minnesotan. (St. Cloud area) Heyo!
Hey neighbor 😃
I thought he was talking about a boat.

I got them from them when we started. They might not do that anymore.
I'm looking for a source for blank bone pendents. Can you help?
Sorry I have no idea 🤷♂️
I love this and I love you. Thank you :)
Have you bought from JDS? They sell Polar Camel tumblers, have you used that brand?
Yes we are using them now. Lots of our customers don’t like them and they have been out of stock too.
