Prototyping on the Laser Cutter and Engraving Machine with Cardboard

Tip for prototyping on a laser cutting and engraving machine – use cardboard! Cardboard is a very cheap/inexpensive way (ok, probably pretty close to free, we get packages all of the time, and we end up just tossing it out) to test out your designs instead of using wood, acrylic, or other materials.

Dial in that design, get a concept of scale, etc., before you use the expensive stuff.

“Where did that video go?”

I’ve been doing a lot of culling of the channel recently. Not that I particularly wanted to remove a video from the channel catalog, but, I had a lot of varied content on here… “How to Make Waxed Canvas”, “First Time Doing Fluid Acrylic Pouring”, “Assembly of the Tracker Fob Kit from the Mandalorian”. I was confusing YouTube. The algorithm had no idea who to serve what to, as it had no idea what my audience actually is.

Over the past few months I’ve removed a LOT of videos in order to help out YouTube (and the channel). BUT, do not worry. They are still there if you want to see them. They are just unlisted from the channel.

Some are buried in various playlists…

The others, well, I am posting those over to Patreon – for all paid subscribers (for as little as $1/mo), to help support the channel. So, every once in a while I sprinkle some over there. So, if you’re interested, and want to support the channel here, please check it out here.

There are also other perks, such as:

  • Early access to edits before a video goes live here
  • Behind the scenes content
  • Access to all digital plans, templates, and digital files that I sell in the store (https://geni.us/tnjw) – Exclusive discount codes
  • And for higher tiers, things like stickers, tools, and shirts

I plan to keep adding more as the community over there grows, like a community area and Discord server (crickets at the moment, but, trying to make that grow…)

So, if you like what you see here, and want to see more of it… please consider becoming a patron!

Thank you for your support! ❤️

Music for Making

Hey folks, I started up another channel as an experiment – Music for Making. It’s a 24/7 live stream of chill, relaxing, lofi hip-hop and ambient music. I mainly listen to this stuff anyways in the shop while I am making, so, I thought I’d test the waters on a live streaming channel, and see how it does.

Give it a listen if you’re into that kind of music, and let me know what you think. You can do that by subscribing to that channel, sharing it, and of course, listening to it. If I can get it to pay for itself in the near future, then, I’ll keep it going!

Transfer the Shape of ANYTHING to ANY Surface!

CHEAT MEASURING! Using cardboard (or any other material) to make templates for weird and odd shapes in your woodworking, metalworking, or otherworking projects. In this video, I go through several examples of using templates in your projects, and also have a little fun with the idea at the end as well…

How To (Almost Instantly) Cool Hot Glue!

ICYDK…

Quick little tip to show you how to (almost) instantly cool hot glue completely, using an “electronics duster”. These are typically used to clean out keyboards, etc., and the particular one I use is a buck at the dollar store. So it’s super cheap as well!

You can also just use compressed air via an air compressor if you have one, however, it will take a little while longer, since it doesn’t have freezing CO2 shooting out of it.

Still Going Strong…

Received some updates on the lil’ VERY custom shoe storage bench I made for a friend the other day… so, if you ever need some custom work. I can make the weird stuff. In fact, I prefer it. This is literally my day job description… or as my former boss used to say… “no one can figure this out… let’s give it to Geoff.”
