- In todays video we are going to take a look at three Etsy shops selling laser cut products for BIG prices! A lot of the time people equate laser cut and engraved products with low prices and high volume. However, low volume with higher prices is always an option if you choose the right products to sell. Hopefully this video will give you some inspiration on finding new ideas for laser cut products to sell in your own shop!

People are really so creative. I just got my own laser cutter and the possibilities are endless.
Where did you get yours? Which company, I mean
Hey buddy! Just added a few lasers to my CNC plasma cutting business. I gotta say thank you so much for your insight into marketing. I am currently enrolled in business accounting overlooking business financials, and marketing has never been my strong suit. You have provided so much valuable information I will use going forward. Keep it up brother! Much love ❤️
Layered wood art is so mesmerizing! Thinking of getting a laser cutter too.💡
Hey! I'm Philip Roberts! Thanks for being kind when talking about my work. Oh, and if you find an AI generator, let me know as I DO spend way too much time at my computer haha.
Haha hey! Dude those pieces are so sick I cant even comprehend what your design time most entail.
@@justinlaser Not rocket science, just takes a while. Stay well. - Phil.
Hi @@Philip-Robertswondering what sw you use/recommend to design the layers. I've got many years engineering background starting in cad & photo etching printed circuit board layers before computers had a graphical interface. It was all programmed. Used to spend my down time creating this kind of art in film using "D0 M100 M17" type of commands. You really needed to "see" things in your mind's eye. Love your work. What sw do you use?
@@geriburke1713 I just use illustrator as that was the program that I knew best prior to using laser cutters. However, any vector program will work well with Laser cutters and a bunch of them are even free.
It really is inevitable
The best way to get the art done is to commission it. You'd be surprised the talent pool there is and how cheap it is. I needed some design work done and I put a note on DeviantArt and for a few quid (in the UK) I ended up with an Brazilian art student doing flawless, quick work.
Very true. I outsource the majority of my design work nowadays.
Thank you!
The layered wood art always blows my mind. Maybe one day I will try it, but just for fun. Or nice presents :)😊
It looks awesome but staring at a blank design file when trying to design one is.....challenging. haha.
I think that if a person was going to attempt one of those complex layer art projects, then it would be advisable to start with a rather professional CAD software package. I am a mechanical design engineer and do my own consulting work. I use CREO software (similar to SolidWorks) for my design work. This is software (with a substantial learning curve) used by many small and very large manufacturing businesses to design their products. It costs me about $2500 - $3000 per year for a subscription (on one computer) to use the software and get technical support if/when I may need it. That is the software that I would use to design such complex layered wood art. I can't even imagine attempting to do such a project on a software package such as Lightburn. Lightburn is handy and easy to use. But when I need to cut exact and complex things on my laser cutter, I first design it all in CREO and then export it as a DXF file to import into Lightburn. In Lightburn I simply assign lines to the proper layers, laser speeds, laser power, etc. There are many design tasks that I can do rather easily using the CREO software that seem (to me) next to impossible using the Lightburn software.

Have to say though, those masks are creeeeeeeepy
Glad you the style. I appreciated that Justin mentioned these aren't simple projects. Also, we screw up SO much. BUT, when something DOES work, it feels good. Go for it.
I have done these large mandala just find a good color pattern to make the layers really pop there not hard to make tbh easier than the photos on wood 😂.
Thanks for sharing Monport Laser❤❤❤
really love this channel and really impressived by your wisdoma and do encourage
Thank you I really appreciate it!
Bed size doesn't matter that much, using Lightburn's cut and print feature, I can move my diode laser around the piece, and cut the whole thing in sections. It can be finicky, but it does work, and I have made a decent amount of profit from pieces made this way.
I recognise one of those masks! I listen to a band called Eidola and one of their album arts is of one of those masks
Using the morph tool in illustrator to make some patterns would be cool.
Ill have to check it out. Probably some plug-ins out there as well.
Stencil layering creator. Thats the answer
Very Nice Creation, Hatt's Off , I am from india and we are also in Laser Engraving and Cutting Field.
Great video.
Appreciate it!
Hello, what about one or two-layer laser engraved wooden or metal POD suppliers? I have been trying to look for them without success so far.
Sculpfun s30 Pro with the expansion kit will get you a 935mm x 905mm (about 36" x 35") work area for under $1000.
A great option
I think sweet range is somewhere between $500-800 dollars. A middle/upper class person will easily spend that on nice piece of wood art. For me, I wouldn't consider starting a business that is high volume/low margin as I have been there in past and you just end up a tired dog but at first it feels ok because you are busy.
I agree. If Im doing high vol/low margin again I better have employees because Im not touching it 😂
You really underestimate how much money wealthy people have. I do web design for an artist who sells his pieces for 20-30k each. He sells several a month, in many cases hand delivering them across the country.
You always have great stuff. Interested in AI. Subscribed 8:35 What they are doing? They may be in a different world :)
can this be done with a CNC ?
Coolest shit in the world, it's like tartarian architecture
The problem with selling digital files is somebody will just copy and be your competitor. Larry
nice video
Thank you!
Do you guys paint over the burned edges, or sand it before painting?
You could mask the wood before laser cutting, which will eliminate most burns, requiring less sanding
@@DolphinWantsPeace I do not understand. You cut vertically, how does any mask on top prevent a burn at the sides?
@@0Turbox my bad, I understood the question incorrectly. I guess sanding before painting makes the most sense and gives a more professional look.
The Philip Roberts pieces are excellent. Those Drimota dollhouses are pure BS; there are exactly similar plywood dollhouses that are even larger for 1/10 of the price
Small point to offer up - don't need to buy a huge CO2 machine for +7k. You can get a large CNC machine with a laser attachment on it for half the price. Mine has a 40x40 area
good point!
Which machine
Openbuilds
@@apachedriver5100 And how do you control the smoke and fumes? Does it have an enclosure? Because if not, I most certainly wouldn't want to be breathing in all those P2.5 particles.
Unless you want to spend 3 days lasering that mandella design with a diode, a CO2 really is a better option. I have a 20W addition on my CNC and it takes forever to cut 3mm at 2mm/s.
I think that it's a really bad idea to sell the digital files for the doll houses (or any complex product) if also selling the actual finished doll house or DIY assembly doll house. These products are rather complex and retaining the digital files creates a substantial barrier to entry for another craftsman to sell a similar product. The seller runs the substantial risk of wiping out his business of selling 10s or 100s of finished doll houses (at $500 - $1500 each) if he sells the digital files for only $10 - $20. All it takes is one person to buy the digital files, build a similar doll house, and undercut the original seller's price by a couple hundred dollars... and the original seller's business is greatly damaged. IMO, it is simply not worth the risk. I think that the only possible way that it could make sense to sell the digital files is to have them protected with some sort of technology so that they could only be laser cut about 2 - 4 times before the digital files become locked and unuseable. Perhaps there is software technology that can do this.
Have to agree on this. The designs, especially if they get more complex, are your moat. You shouldn't give them away or only with bullet proof contracts.
@@Softmatic @semperidem2577 If you're serious about proving that you are the first to develop/create a design, then I have the software to do it. I am a mechanical design engineer consultant. I use Creo 3D-solid model design software for all my designs and inventions. Using that software, I can prove the development of a design from inception to completion, over days, months, and years. Every single time that I hit the save button on a part or assembly, the software puts an exact date and time stamp on that saved file. Each time that the file is saved, a unique new instance of that file is created. So, by reviewing the ten or hundreds of files saved during the course of a product development, it is possible to decisively prove even when a specific feature of a product was first created. I use this software on all my designs. If necessary. this software could be used in a court of law to show exactly the date, hour, minute, and second that a new design was created. Nobody but the original creator (person or business) would have access to this information. The cost of defending such a claim in court is a completely different matter. Unless it is really important, it may be too expensive to have to take such a case to court.
Where to find this designs for cutting??
I would check Etsy first. There might be free ones out in the wild if you search for free laser SVG files.
2:37 "If you're looking to make a 32 inch by 24 inch wall piece, you're going to need a working bed size that only comes with more expensive CO2 lasers." Not if you break the design into smaller parts, then glue them together. The customer will never know if the layers are painted.
Very true. Im terrible with wood so I personally could never make that for sale lol
Great video
What kind of colours do you use painting the layers ?
no way I would buy one. I would make my own
How can I get access to your illustrator files for the wood layering project?
You can price something at whatever you want, it doesnt meant it will sell and if it does then it doesnt mean youll sell more than 1, things are only worth that people are willing to pay.
True. Thats why you try to get the most you can with customers still being happy.
Asking price means nothing. And does not equal sold price.
"here's some ideas you can steal"
If I had 12k to spend on a lasercut artpiece, I'd just buy a laser cutting machine.
But I can see people buying those at those prices, they look phenomenal.
There goes a lot more into this than just putting wood into the machine and glueing together what comes out.
If there's any amount of work to be done after the laser cut, like grinding away the burnt layers, that's gonna be a lot of workhours with such intricate designs.
Obviously the designs themselves will take a lot of time and creativity aswell, but at least that's a one-time work you can reuse.
The $2000 Dollhouse seems like a ripoff tho. The design is fairly simplistic.
Looks like something you could do for less than $100 as a project together with children with a bit of wood and a wiresaw and some wallpaper samples or paint and stamps.
(Minus the furniture)
if u take 12.000 for a piece of wood u can pay for a planner to do the work for u.if this man could make 5000 for a piece he would not spend the time to become youtuber.he would me rich.its like all the other videos that tell u how i made 150000000 in a year.silly stuff.also is really easy to say that u sell 20 pieces but just use this as promotion to sell only one.
@@makkir7641 because people can't do more than one thing. Good luck with that mindset. I'm sure you'll get far.
12k Plywood 😂
I WOULDNT SELL MY FILES SO SOMEONE COULD CUT THE PRICE AND TAKE BUSINESS...
If someone is trying to sell what Ive already created I know they dont have what it takes and I dont consider them competition at all. People have been trying to sell my files for years.
X-Tool advert can't spell lightning ;+}
$12K, $5K, $3K, are not big price tags. Most people spend this on rent, phones, car payments over a few months, and in the end you end up with nothing, or something that has devalued. The oversaturation of the art market reduces prices for the Waltard crowd who places more value in cheap Chinese made things, than things that are actually worth buying and holding on to.
12k not big price tag? wtf you smoking. if you dont have 5 mil+ you money perception is shit
how do these survive the shipping ? 💀
Lol I would have to do a prayer each time a package went out.
Listed prices do not equal actual sales does it?
the niche you are speaking of is not actually much of a niche any more. its ravers/burners.
The chance of selling stuff like this is 99% luck and 1% ability
Too much for this guy. lol
How can we get those files for our machine
If I had those complex digital files, I would sell the finished product but not the digital files. The design is what sets one seller apart from another. It is itellectual property. The design is what differentiates one seller from another. I would only sell the digital files if I had no interest in actually building and selling the product myself. And I would put some sort of software lock on the digital files so that they could only be used on a laser cutter 2 - 4 times... if that is possible.
Kinetic art🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉things that spin within others things that spin😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
ooohh, and make it a marble machine as well. Hmmm....
The guy is so clueless, especially about the first example. These things are an absolutly nightmare to make and I would rather make 10-20 easier projects than one of those
That's your personal opinion this may work for people with a positive outlook.
@jeffreyvance2330 has zero to do with outlook. I actually do such things for business and I know what I am talking about. You on other hand never made this and have no idea and prefer to be delusional.
@@un-review I make similar products, but on a larger scale: for hotels and restaurants' grand entrances. Your statement only shows how limited your laser-cutting abilities are
@SprakanaKerum lmao, yeah right, except that I am profesional woth vectors adn CAD. And literally launched products worldwide, and you just engrave atupid little things but look at this ego 😅😅😅 even with laser I literally make products for people that no one else even thought possible on a laser, and here is a dude who does his little engraving thingy, but thinks he is master. 😆 good luck interconnecting all those layers and painting, if this is your life goal to do that mych labor. I prefer free time and travel and simply focus on more efficient projects with better returns. In order to make a $100 product on a laser it takes me around 3 minutes cutting, 3 mnutes cleaning, 3 minutes assembly with 3d printed parts, that also took a minute each to print. So 10 minutes for $100 return from a person who is so limited, but you do you lmao
@@un-review Exactly. "You do you"--yet you had to be condescending to video uploader how clueless he is and how difficult it is for you to make a similar layout so you'd rather do something else.
If easy-peasy projects like the video scare you, you really are better off taking a permanent vacation. And you're bragging about CAD? HAHAHAHA, You're seriously bragging about skills on a clunky, near-obsolete piece of design software? What century are you from, geezer?
Your rabid, defensive response shows me how insecure you are over your place in the industry (read: over the hill). Sure internet stranger, you've got loads and loads of bigshot clients waiting for your one-of-a-kind masterpieces
but is anyone buying it?
They have sales reviews
@@justinlaser Sales reviews can be fake.
No links to those awesome sellers…. Shame.
Yeah thats an oversight I will add them
Is there something wrong with your etsy account :) ?
It shows as new 765 orders but your total sale is around 1900 units
how is this possible?
My Etsy? My Etsy is Makesupply, these are different shops.
I’m guessing there not sell big now flooded market 😂
You can probably count on one hand the amount of people that are going to take the time to copy these products exactly.
Thank you for your advice! Please raise your camera as your hands move for every word. It's very distracting.
People just have way to much $s.
The question is are they selling and making money or is it just setting and nothing selling I do this all day just about everyday and I don't see people making this kind of money at craft show and Etsy is a joke very few people are making money on that site

The answer to your question is yes. A lot of people are making a lot of money on Etsy.
@@JaredDoyle76 the truth is only a few make money not everyone
When I make art, I'm looking for God. Does your art have self - worth ? Or is it just means to and end ? Something fun to do while getting money. Not criticizing you, just putting my thoughts out in the void.
Did you find god? If so, tell him we're all dying out here, tell him to do his job for once
So what your saying is this market is lucrative and overpriced
No one is making 1200 from that shit 🤣
Ive seen worse!
Lol. This makes are loaded with satanic imagery and symbols. Pretty easy to know who his clients are.
Plywood isn't a quality product.
Depending on what kind of plywood
@@zachb9327 If your wood includes GLUE, then it's not a quality product, but I have different standards then some.
Just stain with oak 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉😂😂😂😂
um you just use a basic version of Illustrator like even Illustrator CS (circa 2003) using mirror tool and output as vector... I mean I assume you can draw. Fricking AI generator, use some creativity man!!
so again nothing practical, just some crap to satisfy someone's vanity and ego.
Welcome to the world of retail.
Id never pay that for work that uses automation. That laser cut board isn't worth much, if you buy into this youre supporting scam artists.
blablabla...BIG PRICES but nobody would ever buy such things.
Please go away with "THIS SELLS ON ETSY!" - this is just a lie.
NO I WONT WATCH VIDEOS WITH SUCH TITLES
Lol you clicked it bro.
overpriced wooden puzzle made by machine for $12000! If it was made by hand than it's okay! never calculate the work of a machine as a humans..... -_-
Those pieces of wood didn’t buy themselves, or set themselves up, or coat themselves in various finishes, or create the wooden template, or carry out the many many hours it probably took perfecting the overall piece… it was done by the creator, the machine is just one facet of the process
Probably took 100hours just to design it
Machine time is a factor in any manufacturing process. So is machine operator time. A laser may do the actual cutting once everything is set up, but the operator must monitor machine operation. This has many hours of time involved including the design work. Add more time for ordering and acquiring all supplies involved, cost of materials, quality inspections of each piece of several layers, finishing, assembly, packaging, and shipping or delivery. This is not mass manufactured in a chinese sweatshop. It is high quality artwork, and the artist deserves good prices for time and efforts.
PhilipRobertsART = 7 sales in last 30 days ($6,717). So who's your daddy?
So nobody is buying Mercs, BMW or any other top end car assembled by robots. I wonder though if there was a designer behind those cars...
YOU ARE 40???
Haha officially in less than 2 months
nosense.with that kind of money u take the co laser and make it byyourself.the price is not what u want to sell for but what the others give for what u make!
