  • A demonstration of my procedures for making wood baby toys. I treat the laser cutter as just another workshop tool and use it only sparingly.
    So while this video isn't really a laser tutorial, it may give you ideas how the machine can be used to assist in other projects.
    I have more laser tutorials at makestuffnow.co...
    I sell assorted baby toys, and do custom items at:

    You could use soda as in baking soda to sandblast / remove all the burnt surface areas most auto sprayers will allow fine particles to pass through the spray gun just fill the spray gun canister with baking soda and make sure that you don't spray your skin or other body parts it will be like turning on a sander and running it one your skin option #2 is to spray the wood with Clorox bleach and after about 5 minutes use water to remove the brunt areas I have cleaned wooden porches and decking using Clorox the decking looked really dark old and gray but once I spread Clorox on the deck and let it set for 5 minutes I was able to use a pressure washer to lightly spray away both the Clorox and all of that dirt and dark areas the decking looked like brand new lumber it does work

    Wow those are great. What laser is that? I have a hobby machine that's too slow and can only engrave hence asking. TIA.

    Just use a cnc router to start with and won't have the black stuff.

      I find the affordable routers are a pain to set up, and work real slow.
      If I need a few in a rush, I just use a scroll saw which is faster. the laser cutter is just for taking it easy.

      the openbuilds c-beam cuts hardwoods at 147ipm, it would cut 4 of those out in under 10 minutes

    What oil was that? Just that is taste ok and is not bad for you. (I think you use a good oil , that is why I ask)

    • @makestuffnow
      @makestuffnow  Před 6 lety

      100% Tung oil.
      It is often sold mixed with a solvents which is how it's normally used, but you can find it sold 100% pure. It's pressed from a seed so it is natural and allergies to it are extremely rare.

    Very good job
    Tell me what laser power do you use?
    greetings

    • @makestuffnow
      @makestuffnow  Před 5 lety

      50W and 2 laser passes using a technique I show in another video.
      I normally don't laser cut boards this thick as a scroll saw works faster when I have a lot to do, but I thought this showed a few cool techniques that might give other people some ideas for their own projects.

    Have you considered using food grade oil?

    • @makestuffnow
      @makestuffnow  Před 5 lety

      Pure tung oil like this, with no solvents added, is food safe.

    You can learn more about it on woodprix website I think.

    Why not just use a CNC to cut it all out like the X-Carve

    • @makestuffnow
      @makestuffnow  Před 7 lety

      I was doing something similar at first. But the lower cost CNCs are fairly slow to operate and set up. Cutting with a scroll saw was much quicker.
      I only make about a dozen a week, but if I was making more I would certainly be looking at the CNC option again.

    Do you offer wholesale for teethers?

    • @makestuffnow
      @makestuffnow  Před 6 lety

      email stephen at makestuffnow.com
      I do it part time, so small batches (up to a couple dozen at a time). I will also check over your designs and make sure the shape will be compliant with Australian Standards requirements.

    if you were teaching for a shop this is the bees knees. but for the rest of s whom do not have all the wood working tools...figure it out.

    • @makestuffnow
      @makestuffnow  Před 7 lety

      I know I have a better than average collection of tools, but I'm just working out of a small single car garage in a rented subdivision house. Don't make the mistake of thinking you need a fancy workshop to do stuff.

    • @LarsSveen
      @LarsSveen Před 7 lety

      The tools in this video aren't that expensive. Especially compared to most workshops. You can get a laser cutter for a few hundred bucks, and a router for under fifty. Combined, that's like the cost of one good big ladder.
