FINALLY someone who I understood step by step. Thank you

[GilbertFlores]

I learned more from these tips than I've learned from multiple videos I've watched. Thank you!

[adventureswithcrystal]

Please do more Lightburn video's....this one was great. You are awesome at explaining things. Thank you for going slow, some other people just go so fast and click so fast before I can see what's going on and follow.

Like many others I've watched lots of tutorial videos to try and get to grips with my Atomstack laser. I have to say this was by far the most informative of them all, well done and thank you.

This has been the BEST video I have watched on Lightburn so far. Your simple explanations make it easy to understand and comprehend exactly what you are explaining. I can't wait to watch your other videos and see what you have planned for the future! Thank you so much.

Great video for beginners!! Really appreciate it! Moving from Inkscape/Glowforge to a much bigger machine with lightburn and this bridged a huge learning gap for me!!

[aquaandsage]

Oh thanks a million, you solved a big problem I’ve had!👌🏼👏🏼it was so difficult to solve as I didn’t know what to do a search for. Tip number 8, where instead of outlining the object, I can outline my design. So appreciate this & each video you make. You are so down to earth & talk in basic language making everything so understandable. Kind regards, Denise in Australia 🇦🇺 😊

Love your videos. Each one has clear, uncomplicated instructions for each step. One of the best Laser/Lightburn channels I’ve watched (and I’ve watched plenty!) Look forward to more.

[berndwernerkonradbirnbaum]

EXACTLY what I needed. Thank you. I like when the presentation is made by an old guy. Because that tells me that you had to feel the same pain like I feel. Don't be offended, I am ~10 years older than you 😉. Again, thank you....Bernd

[chrishershberger]

Thanks so much I'm 50 and I just bought my first laser nova 63. Your videos are super helpful geared for the everyday guy. I thank you

[cindyrobinson]

I just found your channel today! I received a xTool D1 for Christmas and have been having a lot of fun with it. I am also new to Lightburn and your videos have really been helping me out! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[thebrightones]

You're awesome! Seriously! Thank you so very much for doing all of these videos! I still have months until my laser arrives...but I'm trying to use this time and take all of this stuff in so I can get rollin' right away! Again...THANK YOU!!!!

[jimknaub]

This is just what I've been looking for. New to Thank You very much! Jim

[fredwienbarg]

As a new laser user, I find more information on your channel than all of the other post put together. Thank you!

[rhays]

I'm new to laser cutting and Lightburn. My Mira9 is on order and won't be here for awhile, but I'm trying to learn and familiarize myself with the software. I think this was a great video! Even though I haven't had an opportunity to use it, this video has made it not so intimidating already! Can't wait to watch the others. Thank you so much for your time!

Young man .
I want to thank you . Ive been oulling my hair out trying to learn this stuff . Watching lits of videos and even the instructions baffles me . Ive always had a bad learning curve and have had a great time in life gettingvit all half right . . I got nowhere with sll 8f them . You just clearly taught me this stuff to get me started . Half way though i already had text and photos in the work area and editing thank you so much . Now if I could just get the program to talk to my laser
I need a newer computer.

[johnwood]

AS a new beginner, I'm enjoying the simple way you explain things. You are awesome Thanks

[derekgibbs]

[norbertwenger]
