    I've been laser engraving / cutting since 1998. But there is always something new you can learn. My PRO tip. "Don't Think you know it all, even if you have been doing it for years or decades." :)

    What a great set of tips! I have a marble slab that I lay the thin pieces on that have warped…works most of the time..sometimes need to hit it with a hair dryer.
  • @zovi8514
    you're ALWAYS an awesome teacher, so thankful <3 I thought you were also mentioning gently heating the acrylic for scratch removal
  • @747dom
    Great video. I liked the tip about the brushed steel and brushed brass name plates. I've used the Rowmark gold in 0.8mm for trophy plates, but never thought of using the thicker stuff for other things until this video. Thanks.
