    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!
  • @beckyvigon7490
    Are there any extra precautionary steps we should take? I guess I'm worried about miniscule shards of ground glass being all over the place! Can't wait to try this. Thanks, PawPaw!
  • 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.
  • @PSWEBERNET
    Most succinct guide to this process I have seen. Answered several questions I had. I am going to give glass a try. Thanks!
  • @jhnbrown5
    I purchased a Trotec Rayjet 50. Is the techniques the same? Also what kind of image do you use and what preparation must you do to get the image ready for engraving?
  • 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!
  • @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!
  • Hi. I have just got my self a sculpfun s30 laser and put it together. I want to try laser on glass and have found your video quote helpful for information on getting setup. What i want to ask is would i do the same settings still as in your video.
  • @klave8511
    Great tutorial, unexpected that the brush painting would be so clear. Have you ever tried (or considered) blackening with soot from a candle or tip of a lighter flame? I expect it will need a thick layer of soot.
  • @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
  • @ashh.4780
    Hi! I just started laser engraving and following your video I did my first glass project! Thank you for the wonderful help :]
  • @joythomas100
    Changing the settings, will work on acrylic as well?
  • @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.
  • Exelente tutorial. Cual es el lado de el vidrio que queda mejor, el lado con pintura o el otro lado. Gracias.
  • 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
  • @GotCamel
    You’re awesome PawPaw! Thanks for these great videos!
  • @Arlisa1913
    Thank you for your wonderful video how is the settings transferred to that x tool D1 laser?
  • @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.
  • @bradlovely6936
    Quick question: Would the 5W Laserpecker 2 perform with similar results, Pa'?
