[LS163] The Sasquatch

Laser Source ·

2025/11/08

Alex is trying to pee in peace when someone yells “Laser guy!” from the hallway. A painter’s assistant wants a nine-foot plywood Sasquatch cut out on the spot, and that launches the entire episode into a chaos spiral of shop stories, sick-day confessions, and sunburn complaints. From there the crew catches up on Q&A success from the golf-club training episode, how simple coaching questions can save weeks of trial-and-error, and why Max’s 6,000-pass deep engraving shocked everyone. They unpack

[LS162] Autofocus Isn’t Broken - Your Lens Is Lying

Laser Source ·

2025/11/08

The teaser opens with Anthony dropping a small revelation about F-theta lenses: the number printed on the lens is a theoretical value, and in real life your focal height is often wildly different. That sparks a full discussion about what F-values actually mean and why autofocus often lands nowhere near the measurement stamped on the glass. From there the guys jump into a huge pile of new blanks from Johnson Plastics Plus, the upcoming “Bamboo Ultimate Guide,” and whether fire is guaranteed when

[LS161] 104% - How Makers Pivot When Prices Double

Laser Source ·

2025/11/08

The teaser clip sets the tone: this is where the pros separate from the churn-and-burn crowd. Once the show kicks in, the crew jumps straight into the breaking news of 104% tariffs on Chinese goods and how that hits every maker in the United States. They steer past doom-scroll panic and start laying out real strategies: buying used inventory, tapping secondhand wholesale groups, bartering with other small businesses, leveraging local woodworkers and shops, and reframing products with reclaimed

[LS160] Consumer Machines vs Pro Equipment

Laser Source ·

2025/11/08

The team opens with chaos, April Fool’s jokes, and a fresh upload about ColorShop Woods that shows cutting techniques across multiple CO₂, diode, UV and fiber machines. That turns into a deeper chat about how color-drenched the material really is, why it’s better suited for cutting than marking, and how layered projects get their contrast. From there the conversation shifts to client work: Walnut watch boxes, depth vs anneal on expensive watches, and a 60-piece run of tiny keepsake knives that

[LS159] The L Piece

Laser Source ·

2025/11/08

The crew starts with pudding-pack chaos and sponsor jokes before sliding into real shop talk. Everyone admits they hoard leftover material, especially those dreaded “L” pieces of acrylic and Romark, and they compare how scraps constantly bail out last-minute jobs. That leads into practical advice about engraving coins, good sources for quality blanks, why cheap “poo-tier” zinc coins are best for alignment practice, and how fiber marking black acrylic can save time and labor. Toward the end the

[LS158] Why Small Test Grid Squares LIE

Laser Source ·

2025/11/08

This episode starts with the crew comparing beam combiner setups before Alex admits he’s officially done aligning red dots and is moving to SPT TR tubes with built-in combiners. Matt works on brass nameplates live and breaks down his batching workflow - why repeatable templates, grouping, and frame previews save hours. From there, the group dives deep into ammo can engraving (CO₂ vs fiber, smoke management, respirators), then pivots into material settings: scan offset adjustment, power scaling on

[LS157] You Can Always Add But You Can't Take Away

Laser Source ·

2025/11/08

The crew checks in after a brutal dad-day at the trampoline park, which leads into a surprisingly deep small-business segment about profitable micro-orders - leatherette flasks, real-brass name badges, flexi-brass plastics, and margin stacking on fast, shippable work. From there: the slow winter slump finally breaking, slate video reactions, a teaser for the upcoming ColorShop Wood experiment, and a full mini-class on lens swapping, focal lengths, and why staying stuck on one lens is leaving money

[LS156] When Clients DIY (…and Regret It) + Public...

Laser Source ·

2025/11/08

The crew opens with some light chaos (cat talk and missing-Matt jokes) before digging into a real small-business dilemma: a client cuts a bulk engraving order in half after finding a public maker space. They debate how to handle contracts, bulk pricing, and keeping relationships intact when customers try to DIY - and why many eventually come back. That rolls into a bigger conversation about maker spaces (especially publicly funded ones), fair-use and time-abuse, and who should enforce limits. From
