How much do those machines cost to purchase and are there places that will print designs off for you? I'm just wondering how WoodCutter even has access to one as they probably don't come cheap (though maybe he has one at his work or something?).

A laser like mine costs $15k.

Range of lasers would be $10k to $50k depending on what you want to be able to laser. Higher end ones are for laser engraving metal.

I am sure there are places that you could have custom designs laser engraved into wood.

The type of detail and similar nature of what I did in 20 minutes (40 from start to finish of creating an image to laser setting up the equipment and burning the design into the wood) to what WC did with his "physical bitcoin" using that same design template.

Can you proove you own this laser? How do we know you are not paying someone to do this? How can you prove it? Can you take a video in the workshop that the cutting was done in, walk around outside to show us its not a shop?

It's already been sold as was stated previously. He traded a few kialara physical coins for it, 2x2014 and 1x2015 I believe

One of his friends , it is cheap maybe he paid 100-150 $ and commissioned the engraved "lasering" and after put some oil on it and voila. Work finished !

I doubt those machines are cheap.

I meant he paid 100-150 $ only for the laser process not for the purchase of the machine.


Ps: thanks for the link.

Yes, I'm not disputing that and it's clear to anyone who isn't Tecshare and WC's alts that is what happened, but I'm just wondering how WC has access to what I'm assuming is an expensive piece of kit.

I think the real problem here is that he has advertised his work as hand carved but most probably it was only a laser.

Hey guys so I made this "hand carved" piece from "original" artwork.

No power tools involved, just your "hands" and "hand tools".

Took about 20 minutes to finish this masterpiece.

Here is a short clip of the last 5 min of me "carving" it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRAl-EV3QO8
First is Woodcollector's hand carved physical bit coin with touch ups, varnish, stain, whatever, etc.



Second you have the original artwork from the internet.







 

YOUTUBE VIDEO INCOMING SHORTLY ONCE I CAN UPLOAD IT LOL.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRAl-EV3QO8

Lastly you have my "original" version of that artwork with 0 touchups, varnish, not even wiped down with a wet cloth yet!

See I changed it so it is now mine and "original" and "hand carved"!

Notice the burn marks? Those can be avoided if I lowered the amount of hand carving settings on my hands to use less power.

Also wiping it down with a little bit of water would remove much of the burn residue.

There you have it! ORIGINAL HAND CARVED WORK BY SMOOTHIE!

It is a work of art..... Im not going to deny that...

They are actually pretty cool looking. If there wasn't huge problems with stolen images, dishonesty, and unfair markups, I would consider buying one.

I still don't get why he couldn't be honest in the first place and sell them as laser engraved coins. Sure, you wouldn't make as much but you could expand and possibly make a brand for yourself eventually.

There is no way to disprove the overwhelming evidence. No logical defense.

Looks like Woodcollector is going to quietly slink away into the shadows.

I'm trying to figure out how he would use a laser to cut the design, but then carve all around the design. 

Because the design is raised, so the laser would have to be used to cut everything except the design.  Right?
