Could not think of a nicer compliment. I just did another one for a friend who is build a cabin. I etched a cabin on the bottle and labeled it cabin fund. Then I put a little money in it. I was told this was heirloom memory stuff. This one I did on a quart beer bottle. Again thanks, CHEERS!
Another great video with great ideas. My favorite is the dark glass effect. Thanks for sharing.
I like the dark glass the most also, but the tiger on the green glass came out good also. This is a great hobby , lots of fun and you end up with something no one else has when your finished.
Dude, you are awesome. You have a very good voice. I don't even know you, yet I feel like we are friends. Plus, you have given me great ideas. Thank you.
You made my day, NO MY MONTH.... I really enjoy doing these videos it gives me great satisfaction to know others like the ideas I have. CHEERS.. and we are friends.
I love these. Definitely for birthdays, bachelor parties, baby showers etc. Thank you for sharing.
Very happy to share, it is a great Return on Investment, nothing for the bottles, it does not get any better than that. If you try this come back and tell us what you made or send me a picture and I will put it in one of my videos. G.kenner@yahoo.com CHEERS and thank you for the nice comment.
There is a product called Rub-N-Buff comes in different colors and gold and silver flake. Looks great after engraving on glass. Thanks for sharing your time and talent, I’ll have to check out your other videos
thank you for the tip... I will always consider myself a beginner. Cheers!
Well, that is a heckuva great idea. Thank you!
So happy you liked it... I say make a bunch and sell them. I have more good ideas coming hope you subscribed. Cheers.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser what would you charge for that dollar bottle one?thxs
@@stivi739 As I say all the time, I do not sell the things I make, but one subscriber wrote to me and told me customised they are selling them for $18.00 in a small bottle and $20.00 for a quart bottle. I did one for my girlfried that says "Cabin Fund and put a tiny bit of money in it, he response was priceless. CHEERS and good luck.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser thanks
Love it - thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks for watching! More good ideas coming soon.
I really like the matte look of the tempura paint. I would do some research to find a permanent alternative. It shows off the engraving much better than the glass alone.
I agree, for a diode laser, I think the tempura paint is the best way to go. But with a C02 there are so many more options , faster and no masking required. I have a C02 Shopping text video that is in edit stage right now, I bet you like it... Thank you for the very nice comment and tip.
If you have an air compressor you can buy some cheap but effective airbrush supplies 20-30 bucks at harbor freight. If you don’t have an air compressor they sell a couple of kits with small quiet tankless compressor for about $100 that work very well.
You are totally correct. I used the Preval to show people they could do this on several products for about 6 dollars. But the better wasy is with an air compressor and air brush if you have the space for those.
Great video George, Subbed. Cheers, Bob in the UK.
More to come soon... Doing a test on a 10 watt Longer Diode laser right now. CHEER BRO!
My xTool D1 arrived today just waiting on the accessories. My Chinese K40 Co2 laser has died and it's not worth repairing.
I just stumbled across this channel, this video is fantastic. (i saved it too)
i cant wait to see what else your channel has to offer.
I am just about to buy a Xtool S1 40w / 2w IR (deluxe kit), it appears to meet my needs and is quite a safe machine.
Do you think it could achieve similar results?
thank you for the nice comment.
I think I’m going to have to try this.
It is easy... what will you spend on the money that you earn on?
@@GeorgeKennerLaser probably more wood or more tools. lol. I’ve got the D1 and the RA2. I’ve also got an Xcarve CNC.
Thank so much for all the details and the inspiration
I have more to come... working on a great C02 evaluation now... Thank you for the very nice comment.
Uh….my birthday is soon! Love the idea of a bottle card!
It's close to my Birthday also, may you get a Bottle Full of money! Happy Birthday.
Sold on the Xtools D1. Subscribed.
thank you for the nice comment.... More coming soon.. there is a upgrade in the D 1 and I will be reviewing it shortly...along with a C02 review of multiple machines... I am laser and woodshop addicted. CO2 review is open in the editing suite on my computer now.
Im tryin to find a local ozzy seller for d1..no luck..all out of china and a 6 week wait grrrrr
Are the bottle tops engraveable?? That would be very cool. I think I’ll order them and see. Thanks for the great idea!
I thing you could etch the tops as they have a coating on them.... 😃
Great video!!!
Glad you liked it! It's always a pleasure to know people enjoy the content hobbyist work so hard to put together. Cheers bro!
Love the video and will have to try this. I believe the paint is actually called Tempera paint. Often pronounced Tempra paint. A very widely used paint in classrooms everywhere!
You are right... in my day they called it finger paint, easy clean up. Thank you for sharing with the rest of the audience. CHEERS..
I like your ideas.
Thank you ...
you got yourself a new sub... and man you should start a blog about some of the things you come up with and how much you plan on listing them on. like a 5 dollar month subscription
I am just happy to do this, Have no plans of going to any kind of subscription system. If someone sends me an e mail, I respond. G.kenner@yahoo.com
What should the consistency of the tempera paint be for spraying with the preval. Enjoy your content
Thank you for the nice comment. I suggest about a 70/30 mix of paint to water to start. I would try and make it as thick as the preval will handle, the reason is that it sticks best to the beer bottle that way. You will have to put in on in coats. making sure that you can not see light through the glass area where you are going to engrave. I think it normally takes me 4 or 5 coats.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser Thank you
Love this
Bank at you Skeptic.... Love the comment... thank you for watching.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser You have me inspired to get an xtool! This looks like too much fun to miss out on! God bless! Keep up the great videos!
@@Curious_Skeptic thank you so much for the comment, I wish you the very best on the laser adventure , I have a great time with it.
Love it
Gave that "Bottle" to a friend and she loved the idea, I think she wants a lazer now. Cheers, and that you for the nice comment. I have another idea coming soon, hope you subscribed.
Sharp idea
Thank you... I hope you can make something out of it. I have another "idea" coming soon.
I may have missed it. Do you have a video start to finish or so that shows bottle taping, apply tempra, engraving and cleaning up? Thanks
Sorry but I do not have a complete step by step it would make this video to long. It is really easy just spray the bottle with Tempara paint it will take several coats allow it dry between coats. Then put it in the laser and wa la... its done. If you need more info please write to me and I will do whatever I can to help you. CHEERS... lasers can make money.
If my D1 isn't recognizing the rotary, and all the connections are good, what would you suggest?
I would bet it is the software and a switch inside the software. To test this I would go to the Xtool software that is the most simple and test it there and see what happens. If not you may have a wiring problem. The plugs are pretty small you may have a bent prong in one of the connectors. (just good guesses, hope this helps)
Great job...you earn my SUB
Thank you very much ... I have another idea that will come out soon, we just have to think out of the box for PROFITS.... this is really just a hobby for me, I do not want to start a business, so I will give up my ideas as they come to me. Thanks for subscribing.
Very interesting... really love this, but to sell to online how can you put cash in? My concern is people claiming the cash was not in bottle so that would be a nightmare. I need help thinking it through. You think online is a bad idea? What else could you cap in the bottle?🧐
You are going to have and "a ha' moment for online... tWIST OFF BEER BOTTLES. Cheers... more good content on the way. Hope you subscribed.
What settings would you recommend for engraving a wine bottle? I have the d1 pro 20w. Not sure what to set the power/speed at in creative space
Here is what I would do... get a flat piece of glass and take some small squares or circles and run a few test runs. lower power and less speed and then step the settings.
@@GeorgeKennerLaser thank you so much
I also all grain home brew, can't wait to try this with my beer bottles for labels. Cheers!! I've seen some folk dilute the paint with water at a 2:1 ratio. Would that work with the preval? ($30.00 here in Canada on amazon) Great idea's thank you so much!
Happy you liked it! Yes I dilute the paint also to get it through any sprayer. Come join Laser Freedom Facebook Group.... it is a great place to ask questions. It it not company sponsored. You can say anything you want. CHeers Bro!
And How Exactly you make the "profit"...? Just asking you know. Selling on Etsy?
Etsy... farmers market.. where ever... I did get an email from someone that took the idea to a farmers market... they wrote and told me thank you but did not tell me anything about sales volume or what they sold them for.
Could have a couple put their vows in the bottle and etch the wedding date and names
your thinking.... you want a fancy bottle.. I have more coming on this idea pretty soon. Cheers.
Hi George. Thanks for the tips. Just curious how much money you've made engraving beer bottles?
Ken I have only given them away. This was just and Idea I had and wanted to share it. Some of my subscribers have told the they owe me for the idea, infering they have made money.
Good job...I would drill a hole on the bottle cap just big enough to put a note or money in it...If you sell it with the bottle cap on and the person who buys it from you doesn't have a capper....How is he going to get the note in?
Glad you liked the video. I can see where someone would sell these at a location, like a gift shop or a fair and just take a few cappers with them. You could also Etsy them and just to the right about of money in them. Where there is a will there is a way. Thank you for the well thought out comment. What would you put on a bottle?
@@GeorgeKennerLaser I will be honest with you...I have been doing these bottle cards for almost 2 years, and they sell very, very well. I drill a 1/4 hole on the bottle cap so that the people can put a note or money inside...I personalize the writings on the bottle, and let's just say that some people have horny thoughts and twisted minds...My clientele for these are between the age of 20 and 50 years old...You will never find what I write on any birthday card...I only drill holes on the ones I sell at craft shows...The personalized ones are not drilled...
@@geraldlamothe6091 so you were sand Bagging Me... you were already doing it... Good For you, it just proves the concept for all the people out there that are looking for ideas... Thank you for sharing with us. Cheers.
Do you have a valid discount code for the D1 pro grey?
I am so sorry, I was gone for 10 days and did not see this. Did you get a laser yet? If not send me and Email to G.kenner@yahoo.com and I will see if there is anything current.
Can I just buy one of your laser engraver? .
I tell each one of the companies I give them away... sorry... but I understand wanting to get a deal. If there is one your really interested in let me know and I will try and get you a discount code. Send me and e mail at G.kenner@yahoo.com
Well turns out beer is an investment now
Never Thought of it that way... But I like the logic .... 😂
OMG! Over 8 minutes and you never even get around to explaining what is a good consistency for spraying, what laser settings you use, what brand and color of tempura paint you use...... Anything!
Please explain to me why in the world would I want to continue wasting my time, watching any more of your videos.
I do not remove any comments. You are welcome to say anything you want. Keeping everything in balance is in balance is important. Sorry for the frustration you felt after watching. You are of course in the minority relative to your opinion. Cheers
