I took nice pictures, created the listing, and made my first sale of many.

Fast forward a few months and I had my YouTube channel up and running.  Video after video, I kept seeing comments like…

"How do I fix this alignment issue?"

"Why won't my laser cut all the way through?"

"How do I get rid of these burn marks?"

“Why won’t this #$%&** work!”

That's when it hit me.

I could save others from the smoke-filled room I was stuck in.

It wasn't about being a tech genius, but having a system and a clear path through the complexity.

Projects that took days finished in hours. Material waste nearly vanished.

My laser transformed from an expensive space waster into a reliable profit center.

If you're staring at your laser right now, surrounded by failed attempts and feeling that knot in your stomach, I've been there.

The secret to laser cutting success isn't becoming more technical.

It's following a clear roadmap for artists and entrepreneurs, not tech specialists.

"Well, that’s $2000 down the drain."

I was standing in front of my new laser, trying to see through the smoke.

I had failed again.

Why couldn’t I just get this thing to work?

I’ve spent hours watching disjointed YouTube tutorials, only to have a huge pile of failed pieces of wood to show for it.

The worst part?

This wasn't a hobby for me. I had actual products to design, pictures to take, and Etsy listings to create.

And more importantly, sales to help pay for the machine.

This was supposed to be a revenue generator, not a time-consuming hobby project.

Real money was at stake.

My breaking point came with Black Friday approaching. If I was going to sell anything this year, it was now.

I'd created a killer ornament design. . The digital mockup looked perfect. But watching my laser butcher attempt after attempt was like seeing money burn.

Something had to change.

Fast.

I locked myself away for a week. No more random YouTube videos or guesswork.

I tested nearly every setting and built my own step-by-step workflow to get the ornament done.

And then…finally, something that didn’t look half bad!

How do you ACTUALLY learn Lightburn without wasting time?

The secret to mastering your laser is simple.

1. Learn every setting and feature Lightburn has to offer.
2. Focus just on the ones that matter
3. Ignore everything else.

The best way to do that is to spend hours and hours learning the specific settings and processes that work with your laser.

But luckily, you don't have to because I've already done it for you.

This is a complete guide that focuses on what you really need to know (and what you can ignore) to get perfect cuts and engraves from your laser.

Not only that this is the exact process I use when I'm setting up a new machine to test on my YouTube channel as well create brand new products from scratch.

Everything you Get Access Too

Hey there, I'm Brandon

I’m the guy behind the Make or Break Shop YouTube channel that's helped over 12.1 million viewers (and counting).

I review and test tons of different laser machines and teach people how to use them. I've probably gotten my hands on more different types of lasers than almost anyone out there.

What is my background?

I studied Aerospace Engineering, which helped me figure out the technical stuff, but let me tell you – I still hit all the same frustrating roadblocks you're probably facing.

Man, did I waste a lot of material and time in the beginning.

I've tested pretty much everything: cheap Ortur diode lasers, desktop CO2 machines from OMTech, xTool, and OneLaser, professional Thunder Laser systems, and even those fancy fiber lasers. If it cuts or engraves, I've probably played with it.

After tons of trial and error (and a few choice words), I figured out a system that actually works without all the headaches. No more guessing at settings or ruining expensive materials.

When I'm not geeking out over lasers, I'm making stuff for my three kids. They love the projects they can color themselves. And yeah, there's usually something Star Wars-related happening in my workshop too. 

I made this course because I wish someone had just told me this stuff from the beginning. Skip the frustration. Make cool stuff sooner. That's the deal.

Let's get your laser doing what you actually bought it for!
