I'm currently caught up on YouTube videos.. I've watched every single uploaded youtube video they have and am patiently waiting for someone to upload another, .. My favorite channel ( sleeperdude ) usually uploads on Saturday around 1pm so I guess I'll have to settle for FB Marketplace ads for the next couple hours. On a more serious note, I built a exhaust system for my new laser and finally powered it up.. out of the box it run pretty good but mirror alignment was slightly off and I've effectively made it much worse,. I have a engraving job coming up that needs to be completed by August and at the rate I'm going with this mirror alignment thing it might be 2026 before I have it running correctly, I engraved / cut some ornaments on it the other day and even not tuned right I successfully cut 4 of them in 6 minutes and my small laser took 16 minutes to do the same ones.. I think once dialed in this thing will be awesome for where I'm going with future business. I also will say that there is a lot of YouTube time in the shop now as the machine makes my products and I either watch it do design work in the background, work on website or take a nap... I always wondered how so many etsy folks had so much time for promoting their laser / cnc products and now I know.. BadBob and OCtoolguy 1 1 Quote

rash_powder Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Since I scroll in the house, I have been using draft inducers from furnaces or water heaters for the vac portion of my dust collection. They work adequately and, while louder than a scroll saw, are quite quiet. I will say that they could use a little more CFM, but when trying to do it on the cheap, its what I could find.
