Chad's Air Assist Kit

[vanessaquinones]

If I win this laser it would jump start my small business. Currently I drive semi trucks but I look forward to one day working from home. This laser would allow me to really kick start my business this summer, give me more time with my kids, and start the journey to becoming my own boss.
I plan on making items that involve leather and acrylics. Cutting leather pieces to assemble can be very time consuming and engraving with a third party takes even longer. This laser would take my production time down tremendously. As well, I would be stoked to attempt some new product ideas I have involving acrylics. ☺️

I am graduating high school this year as a former student of his! I love woodworking and plan to pay my way through college with it! I would use the laser to add a personal touch to the things that I sell, most of which are wood turned! I am excited to get into woodworking more now that I will have more free time! I have made many things from ice cream scoops to full-size dining room tables!

I'm in my 50's and slowly becoming less able to do the type of work I used to due to cognitive decline. I've gone from near genius IQ to some days not being able to add and subtract. I've found woodworking recently and this allows me to still be productive and makes me feel useful again. With woodworking, it doesn't matter if I forget, or can't think of words. I currently have a cheaper laser, and having this would allow me to make better quality items and be able to contribute to our bank account again. I would love to make keychains, layered projects, earrings and other items I've been designing.

Subscribed to all. I just discovered your channel as I was researching laser machines. I'm a big time crafter and have a YouTube channel and very much appreciate your clear and concise videos! I love sharing my crafts with my viewers also. This machine would be a game changer as I would most definitely be featuring my creations with my own viewers. Thank you for the opportunity!!

[CleanCutWoodworking]

Chad you’re my hero! I’d use that laser to get all the views on TikTok by branding everything… even my kids! Talk about content creation!

[bpatrick]

This would be an awesome piece for my projects and small business. For the past few months I have been researching different laser cutters/engravers. After seeing what all this machine can do and watching multiple videos I believe this would be perfect for me. Thank you for hosting this giveaway!

We started fostering last year, and the fostering community is awesome but needs as much support as we can get. An idea I have is to make personalized boxes that families can put mementos, pictures, and documents that help makes a timeline of the process from fostering to adoption. When the family is ready they can give the box to their child to help explain their story, learn about their birth family, and celebrate their unique history. The laser would be a huge help! I am just starting a woodworking side business too but these boxes would be gifts, certainly not sold

Someone who gives away his methods to making money is truly a person who enjoys helping others.

A long time ago I would like to start a part time small business. But I can't afford a bigger lazer machine. I already have an ORTUR2 machine and have successfully engraved photos on canvas. I would like to make more such pictures. And I want to make stenciles for abstract paintings with this machine. And want to make personalized gift items as well.

I'm military and It could help with doing going aways, awards, door signs and such. I'm 12 year active duty Air Force sheet metal and we repair the aircrafts, so we have all types of metal and always make going aways for people on base. Having a Laser engraver would really help make our craftsmanship with metal working really pop with engraved designs and even at a cheaper cost which would help save money instead of having to find someone off base to do it. Plus Ive always wanted to learn how to use one of these and make a job for myself when I leave the service when I hit my 20 years.

[mynameisneb]

If I could win it would be a game changer for me! I can start my own business by engraving outside of work. I would start doing products for people's businesses, putting logos on the products or gifts like you did with those keychains and also doing cutting boards like that. This would take my experience to the next level with rotary engraving.

[StanleyKubick]

I respect a man who feels confident enough to share his business model with the world

Nice work, Chad.

Adding a laser to the Greene Street Joinery shop would open our work up to even further possibilities. Laser engraving, template making, prototyping…the list goes on. Anyone who know us knows that we’re an old school shop; BUT we try to utilize the latest and greatest technology to further the scope of our abilities. The xTool D-1 would be a great arrow to put in our quiver.

[gemmap]

I would love this to create personalised memory boxes for families who have lost babies. Something special to store those precious items.

[stereoinstaller]

This laser would help me engrave/ cut for my custom audio projects and engrave on plexiglass to put names and designs and light it up with leds!

[TheSpineSplitter]

A while back I used to make my own guitar picks for friends and myself. Having a laser would not only speed up the process but designing multiple styles and etching custom logo's would be awesome. I have many friends who are also musicians and having the ability to etch their band logo's on merch or etch on a canvas with their album artwork would be sweet for the local music scene. Since I own a German Shepherd and love dogs and animals in general. Custom name tags but with cool design logo's. For example, I named my dog Bruce as in Bruce Wayne, I'd like to design the bat logo with the words Bruce inside, I'm sure many pet owners name their pets after their favorite super hero's lol. One more thing, I've got in the habit of collecting cool action figures again, but noticed they all come with plain round boring stands, an idea would be to design round stands but with custom logo's that go with each figure..

I have been a stay at home mom for years, now my kids are grown and some have kids of their own. I am unable to work do to back issues. I have been doing work on my cricut but have been looking into a laser box to help expand my ability to do different materials for my cake toppers and signs. I thought it would be a great way to expand my small business and maybe my husband could help when he retires next year. Lasers are very expensive so winning one would be a great start for us. Thanks for your great videos.

[kylecampbell]

I'm a recent small businesses start up (Magnolia Customs), veteran owned and dad operated! I build furniture and anything someone can imagine out of my two car garage. This would allow me to expand my capabilities even farther and spread the joy of woodworking! Thanks for the opportunity!

[tylerttinsley]

I’m a toy and game designer, winning an X-tool would let me finally produce the many cool designs I made using my friends laser. Covid has kept me from cutting for 2 years and I miss it so much.

One thought I had was to build an enclosure like a server rack and stack x-tools one on top of another for doing large amounts of engraved game pieces!
