Hello, where do you buy your spoons and turners?

@randybranson1009 Жыл бұрын

So Sam, did you find something else to use in place of the wax or did you just drop that whole step/process?

@Shadowman-in9zj Жыл бұрын

Where do you find the art style or font work at? It’s really nice

@Belboz99 10 ай бұрын

I could see that for spoons, but I'd still be inclided to use the wax on things like salad forks, etc. BTW, I've made my own cutting board wax... What I used in the past is 50% beeswax, and 50% food-grade mineral oil. But I imagine the kind of oil you used would work just as well. It's stimply a matter of heating the beeswax until it melts, pour in the oil, and stir. I just keep it in a glass jar or whatever.

I was just ready to ask about hot liquids melting the wax. You answered already!

So one little tip to save money is when you pull the spoons out of the oil set a couple pieces of wood across the open container and let the access oil drip back into the container. Saves you money on oil and rags when wiping them off.

I once took a car repair class while in high school and one of the things the instructor taught me is to always use latex(or similar) gloves when feeling the material after sanding. He said that when you keep passing your hand over the item you're sanding to see if it's smooth, the small particles end up filling the pores in your hands and then everything starts to feel smooth when they are not. We were doing body work on cars but I think it applies to this too.

They really are nice for quick customization. I had someone contact me today to do a little engraving job. It took less than 30 minutes total and she helped me get the design exactly how she wanted it. I even went through Dafont to get the perfect font that she wanted. The actual engraving time was just under 5 minutes. But I think the 'lesson' along the way will translate into more work in the future.

Your honesty comes through profoundly, something that is hard to find these days. I'm going through a medical issue now that may prevent me from doing what I do for a living. I drive. I must find a means to support myself as, I was not raised to depend on others and, nothing is for free as some would have us believe. Thank you for your honesty Sam. Thank you for sharing as you do. Many would be reluctant to do so. GOD bless you and yours all your days !!! I feel blessed just having viewed what you did with those wooden utensils. Thanks again !!!

Recently introduced to your videos and i must say really impressed with your standard of work and your attitude to quality for customers. Extreme newbie with the lasers at the moment had my Atomstack S10 Pro now for a couple of months and i must say it is a lot of trial and error at the moment, but learning steadily. Love the way you monogram your utensils and that font you use is nice (if not too cheeky which font (Gothic Capital) is it please). I still have many of your videos to work thorough, I am in the UK so a lot of the purchase links are not really applicable but your tricks and tactics are getting me there. Thank you and keep up the wonderful work.

Thank you for sharing these tips and information. Just got a 5.5 Watt laser from Two Trees and started messing around with it yesterday. I'm excited to be able to personalize different things that I make. When I was turning pens on the lathe, my quality was way better than the ones I'd see in a craft show. I have since gotten out of turning because of the amount of people selling inferior products at a much lower price. It made it hard to compete with. I also didn't know how to properly find the right market for my products. Also the amount of money and time I spent turning pens I would never make up in the sale. I may get back into turning at some point in the future when I get older. I think my main focus in using my laser will be cutting boards and tumblers.

Love the videos🙂Try starting from the back corner with your laser engraver. Scan your design in with a scanner and draw it out. Have a piece of wood that rests between front and back legs and burn your outline. Glue blocks on either side of the outline and on front. Now every time you want to do spoons, grab your template and place laser into corner. Makes easy repetitive engraving. Hope this helps. Best of luck. If you want me to send an example, just message me. You can also do multiple at the same time.
