As hobby lasers get above 10 watts, the importance of the enclosure gets more and more important. While these lasers run on 110, their actual power draw is quite low. If you have a 1kw power bank like a Jackery, you can run your laser all afternoon in the parking lot of the craft faire.

Nice bit of kit. Great video Carl!

Bonjour, j'aimerais faire un kendama comme vous mais je ne sais pas quelles sont les dimensions , auriez-vous la gentillesse de me les communiquer

Do you think you could go as small as a 1” medallion? Thanks for sharing!

Welcome to a new rabbit hole Carl. Good overview and the 40 Watt system looks very capable. The lasers coming out from many of the vendors are scary good mechanically; looks like Creality is one of those. One of the main reasons I got into lasers was to embellish and sign turned objects -- have only done that a few times so far and have yet to connect the rotary -- there have been so many other things to do with the system. 😄 Several other folks worth watching: Steve at Ventauri's Workshop and Dave Clackley at The Clack Shack both have CZcams channels and also co-host a Sunday evening livestream where they provide live answers to questions from people on the livestream. Also, Hobo with Wood has a channel and does some interesting projects. Build Dad Build is another good resource.

Great video Carl, was very cool to see the original you talk about in the video today. Amazing!

Looks like a nice piece of equipment. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Nice!!! MAYBE a clock now?? :D

Your closing comments reflect what I have been thinking about this also, (as a wood turner). I’ll be looking forward to see what you can do with it. Thanks for sharing!

New Toy!! Thanks for the review!

Great review Carl! So many possibilities to combine lasers and woodworking or turning. From embellishment to patterns or names and dates! The Niles Mandril fits perfect for bottle stoppers or handles! So many things!

Nice boxes Carl. I enjoyed this video and just subscribed to your channel.

Hi... Very nice work... Could you tell me the brand and model of the lathe?

Great job, as always! I made a seqmented urn for my brother in law!

Carl killed it!

Nicely done, Carl. I don't know why the wood turning world has been slow to adapt to the Easy Wood chucks, but i love mine. To me they are a no-brainer. I own about 3 or 4 of them. Changing jaws is a breeze. I'd rather be woodturning than screwing and unscrewing jaws on the other brands.

J'adore cette approche de travail, tout en douceur, avec un résultat magnifique. Bravo et continuez à nous offrir de belles vidéos. Un petit bémol pour moi : elles sont en anglais. Vivant en Belgique, je parle principalement le français. Je vous souhaite une excellente journée et vous adresse toutes mes félicitations.

Very interesting piece and turned out very neat. Really had to watch the whole thing to see where you were going after you drilled those holes. Quite unique.

I think you turned all your nice looking burl away

That is lovely. Did a genie appear with the polishing of it?

WELDONE CARL beautifull.

Hi Carl, nice urn. I am wondering how many cubic inches you've got inside your urn ?

nice piece, Carl I really like the continuity of the two walnut pieces as the appear to go through the urn. One thing I noticed was during some pars of the video you appear to be wearing open-toed sandals. This would be a definite no-no at our club as we consider it a safety hazard. Just thought I'd point it out..The turning isn't the only thing some of us notice on you videos. I hope Portland was fun.

Happy yes but the woman (or someone who knows what they are doing) needs to tell the dude to STOP MOVING THE STRAINER/COLLANDER!!! Lol! Nice job.

Very cool Carl! Really unique. 👍🇺🇸

That's nice, Carl. I'm guessing you had to chase Robin out of the shop when you did the walnut. Bill

Very nice. I'm going to try that.

Great project. Lots of imagination going on here. Thanks for sharing.

I guess what I ordered isn't burl..? looks like it it's probably Claro..😊 table leg blanks from an exotic wood place

Very strange you came out with this video today!! 3 days ago I ordered a block of Walnut burl. I recently had a liver kidney transplant and had been faced with reality/mortality. Anyways I plan on making as many little urns as I can for my friends and family. In case things go south.🤔🫡🤠

Thanks Carl and Robin!

Carl what a fantastic project it turned out really lovey, well done.

Very unique and cool, Carl! Love it! 😀 Phil

Beautiful! Thanks for always sharing these amazing pieces Carl and the process!

Great job Carl! You always come up with interestingly designed projects.

Cool project! Got a question for you? I started turning duck calls. Good Fun! I’m in an area with a lot of great duck hunting so I’m gonna try to sell some. On average what do you or others charge for a duck call I’m sure region and materials make a difference Just basic price would help. 🤷‍♂️ As always Thanks! KB

Love the contrasting wood

Very cool Carl! I need to get back on the lathe, shoulder is feelin better! Sweet looking urn brother!👍🏻👍🏻

Great job there Carl. Be Safe and Be Happy! - Jack

Very cool Carl love it . Hope you had a good weekend buddy take care.

Beautiful piece sir.

You could have saved some time with a spokeshave.

C iao Carl questo tuo lavoro mi ha fatto ricordare una tua tornitura, un cuneo che rappresentava un vecchietto con la barba e un sacco sulle spalle, cosa che io ho riprodotto e lo tengo nel mio piccolo laboratorio sempre in vista, ricordandoti sempre con simpatia.

Hey Carl I have't been on your post in ages.... CZcams does this (hides people you subscribe too) and lovely piece, very interesting to see you approach so many bits to this that some might not notice.... great effort #Carl Jacobson @Carl Jacobson

Nice work.

🦾🦾🦾🦾

A very unique piece Carl! Terrific job on that Urn! Hope that you guys are doing well! 👍👍

Super nice. Carl

Truly a nicely done piece! Thanks again for the great ideas and videos! Stay safe.

Beautiful urn Carl. Thank you for walking us through your process.
