16 walnut serving boards. One brother. One laser. ๐ฅ
My brother BurntBrydgesWoodCo cut these off the CNC'd pieces and prepped them. I ran the engravings โ the braai_house phoenix logo on each โ and now they're heading back to him for finish.
Here's the workflow that made it repeatable at batch scale:
1๏ธโฃ Tested the engraving first to dial in the settings on scrap
2๏ธโฃ Built a cardboard template on the honeycomb bed โ cutout matches the board profile exactly. Drop a board in, it's locked in position. Every time.
3๏ธโฃ Batched through all 16. Same settings, same location, same result.
Templates aren't fancy. Piece of cardboard, laser cuts the outline of your part, done in 5 minutes. But they turn "one at a time and hope" into "load, engrave, next" โ which is the difference between a hobby and a business.
Follow along โ I share the actual production shortcuts that make small-shop laser work profitable. No fluff. ๐
