I like the fact you don't sponsor.👍🏻

That looks amazing! Thanks, I just ordered a D1 and can't wait to dig into it.

If you will dilute the tempera paint with water and then dip the side of the glass to be etched. You will get a smooth, even coat. Also, cleanup with water is easier than the glazing compound

Hi Quick tip for the glass. Use a brass wire wheel in a drill, this gets it of clean and does not scratch the glass.

[LordRahl]

I use the cermark. It's pricey but the finish is really good and consistent.

Have you ever tried spray paint caulk, I know you like your tempera so well was just curious I have just received my d1 and love you channel. It so so informative and I thank you for the time you put in the videos thank you again sir

[AlondraArmilla]

what was the settings that gave you the black finish on the glass?

[andythomas]

If you make the outside diameter of the wood the same diameter as the opening on the glass, it will NOT BUCKLE in the roller. then tip the roller with support underneath to level the top of the glass to focus the laser.

Sir: I have a Xtool S1 40w. Can you suggest the power and speed to etch glassYhank you Robert

[billieb]

love the etching. I have the d1pro. what settings for etching

[janburden]

Great information! Have you ever had the issue of the etching getting lighter with each item being etched?

[BornDeplorable]

How do you set the diameter so the image come out as intended and not stretched or compressed.

[TheFeist]

that does make you glass more likely to shatter and more susceptible to heat/cold shock.

[codytoothman]

I etch glass with chalk paint 100% power 15mm/s speed on my xtool D1 10w

[marksneyd]

Fantastic video 👏
How do you remove the galvanised paint?

[MrDavesbox]

George, if i need to engrave a larger object say a wood wine box, can i elevate the laser to be able to do that? say lift the 4 corners equally? i really need to be able to put stuff on larger square wood boxes, Cigars, wine etc...is this doable?

[tysonyoungstrom]

What was the best paint you found to use

[DARRYBBB]

I recently purchased the xtool d1 pro. Last night I tried scoring some random shapes on bass wood. The lines in the shapes always came out irregular. Could this be happening bc of the belts being to taut or loose?

[LeoTundra]

Hi, if my engraving is 95% perfect but has a few spots where the engraved surface chips off, what is the most likely problem? Too slow or too fast engraving speed (was using 9mm/second), , too much engraving power (using 10W 100%), distance from laser to glass, glass quality, etc.? Thanks

For your jig, how do you make sure the laser is starting from the same point each time? I find when it goes home and then you hit start again, it's off a smidgen when it returns to do the second item, off center a bit. Maybe that's not normal haha.
