  • @PawPawsWorkShop
    Thanks to everyone that let me know of a voice over problem. Hopefully, problem solved.
  • Great video! I've had my D1 for about two weeks and I am learning a ton on these videos! So much to learn and I am absorbing all the information that you out out! Thank you!
  • Take Two! 😁🛫 You respond to your followers and that is why we like what you do! And you get the message across! Great Job! We appreciate the details as well with the Light Burn the same as I use!
  • @PSWEBERNET
    Most succinct guide to this process I have seen. Answered several questions I had. I am going to give glass a try. Thanks!
  • @GotCamel
    You’re awesome PawPaw! Thanks for these great videos!
  • Thank you. This was great. It worked well with my little 5w diode. Since it went well I'm going to grab a rotary now and play with glasses! I was reading up on the Cold Galvo and the idea of zinc makes me nervous.
  • @thedirtyn9335
    Bro thank you so much, great video- you compared the two strategies you had in mind and tested them out to show what works. Thanks a lot man, appreciate the upload
  • Thanks for the clear and simple instructions! This was very helpful.
  • @John-of5sh
    Just as many others have said here, I have learned a lot watching your video's. You are an excellent teacher and easy to follow along with. I am more O.J.T. as opposed to reading. Just seems to work better for me. As always, Thank You Sir for sharing your ideas and wisdom. Looking forward to more of your instructional video's!
  • @JohnWaclawski
    Thank you for making this process a lot easier then I was expecting. Heading to Hobby Lobby tomorrow to get some black tempera paint and some glass samples to experiment on.
  • @hwaynes
    You can save a lot of time by just placing the glass on a piece of black card stock, reverse the image, and set the z height to the black surface then put the glass in place. The bottom side of the glass will be engraved. Give it a try.
  • @ashh.4780
    Hi! I just started laser engraving and following your video I did my first glass project! Thank you for the wonderful help :]
  • @allenhuffman
    As I learn my new engraver, one thing I don't often see it the power of the laser used. If I know my Atomstack A5 Pro is a 5W laser, I would expect settings would be similar for a different brand with a 5W later. I'd love to see more information like that in videos of this type. That would be helpful for us newbies trying to understand what settings we need to be using to get similar results.
  • Just used a “modified” version of your method. We found that direct contact with our honeycomb bed can cause spotting on the back side of very thin glass. We elevated the glass using magnets under areas that were not being engraved and got beautiful results with your settings. Thanks
  • Excellent work as usual my good man. I’ve been trying all week to engrave ceramic tiles and just can’t seem to get it right. I’ll try this tomorrow on glass though. Excellent work.
