I have been watching several of your videos, particularly on the laser side of your business. I have to say that the quality and information given during each video is substantially higher than average. Thanks so much, and keep up the good work!

Wow - thanks for that video. I made some slate engravings in the past, but only in black/white. Now i did a material test and found out that you can achieve at least 30 different gold-tones, which is much more than in the grayscale range (only 4 to 10 shades). The golden shades even vary between matte (lighter, even) and sparkly (darker with lights spots) - this is great! 👍

Personal Review of the Samcraft Man - I liked his style both teaching and crafting - I liked the way he ran his shop so I already was sold on him for a resource. What I was not expecting was his incredible follow through, I bought some test file packages, which he has updated, and most importantly which he sent me without me looking for them. Man of his word, this is very hard to find in todays world

[gloriagonzales]

I was wondering how much longer it was gonna take you to get the F1 lol
You have been one of my favorites to watch because of the way you teach. You can your time get right to the point and not act all crazy. I ordered my F1 the beginning of May and still don't have it but hope to get it this month. Thanks again for another awesome video.

[janinelew]

I just got mine today. It’s late so I’m going to set it up tomorrow. The packaging was phenomenal. I’m so happy that tomorrow is Saturday! This is my first laser cutter. I hope set up is easy.

[bonniehollingsworth]

Thanks, Sam. Well put-together presentation.

Thanks, Sam. Brand new to all of this but really like + appreciate the genuine heart and effort you put into your productions/ideas. Great stuff, My Brotha. Wish you guys the best

Nice job on the slate coasters. I have a question can you tell me what size exhaust hose is on the xtool f1 ? I live in california and we cannot purchase the fume extractor due to the unit not meeting CA air quality standards. I did manage to get a atomstack d2 air extractor which also now is not allowed to be shipped to CA I would like to hook that up to a F1 if I decide just to purchase the F1 by itself. Thanks

[debbiewoods]

You have a talent for doing these videos. It isn't an easy thing to do!

[darleneclark]

That's a great father's day gift.

[ladonnawoodley]

I'm not an engraver or laser anything person but I enjoyed this video...I'm a big fan of your other channel so anytime I see anything with y'all in it I watch.

[peterdugas]

Love your stuff and great downloads. Keep up the great work. you have 2 fans here. Love how well your new shop is coming along. Thank you.

[DGLaserCraft]

Thanks, Sam - setting up a slate materials test now with the xtool 40w.

[ATKillion]

How about with the CO2 P2? Does it produce color variations on slate also?

[CristyColombo-om]

Great information and Instructions are well presented, thank you. I do have a question though. I have an F1 and I bought your test file, I can't seem to get past the first square as there are sparks and my machine alarms me there is a possible fire. I have tried it three times and I have to restart each time. Any idea what can be causing this?

[kellycarroll]

thank you Sam blessings to you and your family!

[brandonsmith]

Super cool of you to give out the file, I'm going to play around with it! Liked and subscribed!
