Now for something a bit different. I get these poorly translated spammy emails all the time so I started taking advantage of them. This thing is a heck of a lot better than I expected it to be, so that's good. Now let's see what other surprisingly useful crap I can get from these emails. I already have another laser engraver coming. What's next?

I Got This Laser Engraver For Free. Was It Worth It?

I didn't expect this thing to be any version of good, but here we are. What one for yourself? Here's some links: https://ortur.net/products/laser-master-2-pro

I remember the words "I need to get a sponsored video out before the end of the month" (looks at the date) WINNER!

Actually, I was talking about the go kart build video when I said that. I got that deadline pushed back to early October since I was sick for nearly a full week. I just happened to release this laser thing on the last day of the month

Wayne Moyer

I thought you said said there was another video that you needed to make instead of working more on the go kart. So I just figured this was it. Wasn't being negative. Glad to hear that you are better. Better to get sick before the late fall and early winter sets in. Takes longer to heal up.

You need to sell the wood picture of yourself with both channels listed on it and sign them.

Also I actually have a glow forge it’s fun but the glue gave out on one hinge and now it won’t print right and I have to pay like 300 round trip to ship it to glowforge to fix it. Eventually

not gonna lie, Im actually super interested in what that contract was

deefdragon

I mean, so long as the contract doesn't have an NDA clause, I'm sure you could, and I doubt they would care. I know a few Patreons that share their contracts for transparency reasons. (this isint asking you to so much as an "it would be fine if you did")

I bet you could take the engraver off the mdf base, and then plop it down on any large surface to engrave it. Like the Dakota hood someone mentioned above. Or the floor. Could probably even figure out a way to clamp it to a wall or maybe the side of the bus.

Buy properly rated laser goggles for the wavelength used. The glasses those things come with are at best not that effective, and at worse, actually do nothing for the wavelength on the laser they came with. An easy way to test how effective they are is just to try lasering paper with a sacrifical part of the glasses in the way. Those things can instantly cause eye damage and/or blindness from just reflections. It's worth dropping a couple hundred in the property PPE.

Isnt a 'Rectangular circle’ just called a rectangle or square?

NFT is the new hotness... oh wait that picture is a tangible item. Nevermind.

So... how do the people who send these emails and products "for free" actually enforce the fact a video review is made? And I have to say, is this really a video review? Till the last minute or two of the video, it wasn't exactly positive...

Misha Dellinger

Aside from making squares, circles, square circles and pictures, what can you actually do with it?

This is a great video but you seriously need to get proper PPE goggles for that thing. The ones it came with, I guarantee you, do somewhere between “woefully insufficient” and “nothing at all”, and even that diode is powerful enough to cause damage just from looking at the dot.
