Monport's Halloween sale! Up to $1600 in savings. Check out the sale here... ...bit.ly/3s2ewOP

I have four kids not going to lie the sweatshop idea has crossed my mind those sewing machines would pay for them selves in no time lol!

To save time on your engraving, put each logo in a separate layers for the engraving part. You then engrave each logo complete before moving on to the next. This saves time cause your laser doesn't travel between logos all the time i.e. white space. Then put your cutting all in one layer to be done last.

If you miss a cut but don't move the material you can cut it again. I have a similar laser and run into this all the time with new material. Just cut the outside in another pass or two to save the part.

I prep my leather ahead of time and only wipe clean with magic eraser

Dude, what a great video, comedy, great family, a wife who puts up with you and brings you beer. Anyway, loved the video, I was considering a Monport C02 (on an Xtool d1 diode now) and I think you sold me. The only issue I have is the model you have (in my price range) is sold out. I am buying this Christmas.....so thanks (I think) for pushing me over the edge. I will be sure to let them know you sent me.

Ok, the key chains are a pretty cool idea! I like that!!!

10:42 Soul-crushed (actual crush face at 10:44), lol. Great fam!

The Florida pool pump motor repair guy 32750 approved ! that was good info Spicer Designs

Hit the escape button twice and the laser head will return to its last origin. I train new laser owners all over the world virtually. I would sell them for a minimum of $5.50 each wholesale. Their markup is no concern of mine. $65 - $85 for setup, and a design fee. Potentially bringing your total to $340

I think it is AWESOME! that you involve your family!!!

Have they reached out to you?

I have to LOL... Your adjustable table is not from Amazon; at least the one in your video and the link provided don't match.. Why not post the link to Home Depot? Nevertheless, love your videos, and I did use your code to order the 150W machine from Monport, but they dicked around too long and I ended up canceling my order. If I order another one, I will be sure to use your code again.

this has worked for me like 80% of the time, great strategy

I belong to a Makerspace and when i was making Arduino clone kits when Arduino first came out we used to have "sweatshop sundays" where everone would help either program the chips or put things in the kits. All i had to do was buy pizza. Best business decision ive ever made haha

Hubba hubba

I like machines and volume

Congratulations on 15K!!

When in doubt, its "take your kids to work day"

When I did my keychains, I made a jig with the laser, which would work great for applying the resolene in batches and keep them from moving. Super easy to make with a scrap piece of 1/8 ply.

Child labor is OK as long as you hold the pink slipped/ AKA birth certificate on them😏

For longevity. I would have put in a grommet and for speed get a couple pairs of split ring jewelry pliers.

Looks great can't wait what else you will make next. Cheers 🍻

You have an air bubble in your cooling line. Squeeze the rubber hose a few time and it should work it’s way out!

Look at investing in some split ring pliers. I use them for changing treble books on fishing lures and it makes using the split rings much easier!

Just a heads up, your kids are a tax write off up to 12k no matter the age as long as its a reasonable salary and responsibility. I plan on getting my llc in jan so I kind of looked at everything tax related. I work with metal, welder/fabricator, so I like learning from your channel plan on getting a plasma cnc thanks you. Keep it up and best of luck to you and your family.

Liked your video thanks or the tips. Which model Co 2 lazer do you have? I'm new and sell at craft shows. Chris

What power & speed did you use? This is very interesting to me? How thick is the leather? I like this 😊 did you put the shit on both sides? Or just the cutting side? Congratulations on this project 👍🏻

Just started my own laser small business and made Halloween gifts to give away at a party to get the word out im OPEN... Next, I need to find the words to approach local small businesses with the same intent

Surprised Ryan Reynolds hasn't contacted you to be a stand in ... dude, brother from another mother. 🤣Great video but your math sucks! LOL

Adam is 6’-5”?😮👀

should have included a grommet.

You forgot to add in the 10k Laser, 45k work shop, 1k work bench.... LOL I've been really bored lately -- So I Subscribed... Great Content, Love your style, The Bad Edits and Bloopers are the Best !!! Alright I gotta go now. Bye !

A new Pizza joint is having their grand opening today. She bought 6, yes I said 6 powder coated tumblers to give away as door prizes. I "gave" her 4 Stainless Steel Keychains, 6 pens, 6 cork coasters and 6 anodized aluminum dog tags with chains with her logo on them to help her in their grand opening. She wasn't expecting that. When I ran my photography studio I have wallet size prints to all my customers. 1 sheet cost me 1.50 each. Those were like small biz cards. I've been doing this type of marketing for a 100 years.

Could you have gotten a faster cut and/or higher yield by butting up the adjacent edges in the nesting?

Cool Vid as always

IM really curious on the amazon link for the leather. All im seeing in 2mm is about $30

I would look at a fishing sights you can use split ring pliers I think it would help you assemble them faster Norm keep up the good work

great to see your beautiful lil girls !!! ha ha I have 3 girls, no boys...

you have a beautiful wife and Children ! and your videos Kill me hahahhaaah I wanna buy one of them there keychains !!!

I'm new to the laser world, but doesn't cutting leather with a CO2 laser produce a toxic gas of some sort? For some reason I thought you shouldn't do leather with co2...

30 sec or .5 min, times 50, is about 25 min

How is that laser working for you many months later ?

Я придумал как заработать, а давай я возьму и всем расскажу об этом ))))) P.S. Лично я хер кому расскажу))

Great job. But who’s to say when they receive them they love em, then you don’t get any other response, then ur wife comes in to tell you the new YEE-YEE catalog came tday and Bammmmm on page 9 thr selling these fancy new items and one is a leather key chain for 1- $6.99 - 2-for $11.98 So they just said hey let’s cut out the nice middle man who wanted $2.50 apiece to make them and go have them made by someone else, a much bigger company which will charge them a $1.00 apiece or less and they profit $6.00 or more depending on the cost they can get them made for , you know and I know they could get them made over in China for prob .25 cents just sayin. And thrs nothing you could do about it, you don’t have a patent, or whatever that it’s your design or your idea I’m just saying not trying to burst your bubble but I seen things like this all the time as a lawyer for small businesses that I represented against the big boys who think they can do whatever they want to a small company cause they know you ain’t gonna have the resources to do anything if say they went and took this idea and ran with it so just think about it next time just make say 500 of them go to his concert and have your wife and a couple of her friends selling them in the parking lot for $5.00 and $5 you say yes because drunk people usually will reach in thr pocket and pull out whatever money they have $5. $10. $20. Ya never wanna give change back its such a hassle they pull out a $5 ok now it’s when they pull out a$10. A $20 they will say ya give me 2. Or 4 perfect. Now your profit is Cost to make is say $200 total to make and you selling the 500 pieces at $5 $2500-$200=$2300

I like your vibe, and would be interested in watching more, but even bleeped out, the curse words are obvious and distracting. I just think you don’t need them, and would reach a wider audience without. I would include damnit as a curse word which wasn’t bleeped btw. Thanks for listening.

👍

I think you should use a lav mic attached to your wireless Rode. Your room has way too much echo, get the mic closer to your mouth, the echo is so annoying to listen too, JMO, sorry to be a downer, other than that love the content. Larry

You selling the chick in the bathing suit?

you didn't count the cost of the machine or the electric to run it ......

I have to be honest though, buying a Monport will probably help you with the "losing money" part. Bought their top tier fiber AND CO2 lasers, lots of problems with both machines and pretty much zero customer support. Their warranty is a lie, and unless you're lucky enough to get one without quality control issues, it'll be a money trap. Do your research and you'll find I'm not alone in my experience.

Bikini? really? just to attract people to see your video?? what a world!! 😂😂😂😂😂

Bad bad bad. You never ever use a company's logo or TM for samples. Its a no no. Could turn from hopefully to dreadful. Be creative and send sample of your creativity.

Stop chasing your next meal doing custom orders. Use your tools to invent a new product or improve an existing product. Then have it made overseas because the raw materials are more than the total cost of the finished product made overseas. Otherwise, it's just a hobby.

😅It sounds like you have serious problems

Thank you for the great video! You're earned a new sub. Lol. Could you tell us where you source the leather from, as you said it was about $10? Thank you @SpicerDesignsLLC
