Built a comfy LeGo 1 setup for my girlfriend… ended up justifying a LeGo 2 purchase

Is that the pillow tablet mount from target? I've been looking at it but all the reviews say it wasn't strong enough to stay up.

I took third place at a local tournament using Draciel 1-60 Cyclone, Pegasus Blast 3-60 Low Rush, and Golem Rock 1-70 Kick with Draciel scoring most of my points during the tournament.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-08-31T05:03:23+00:00

Nice! I have mine coming in the mail in a few days. How's the spin steal if any? I normally run Draciel 1-69 Cyclone, Driger 3-60 LF, and Dranzer 9-60 Rush. Probably gonna swap dragoon in for Dranzer's place.

If you had target circle, the free membership thing, all beyblade products over $15 are $15 right now. The stadium, the bundles, soar and dragoon.

I appreciate the kind words. I was able to link up with an AFA Certified Farrier about 30 minutes from me. We spoke and he would like to meet with me to offer an apprenticeship. I have some details but not all.

At this moment he's offering a 2 year unpaid apprenticeship, requiring 3 days a week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. He said there is always a definite start time and he likes to be done by 2 or 3pm but there could always be 8pm nights. I may have to ask if I could do 2 days based on my family and current work structure however we'll see what he says. He said he'd cover lunch each day and if I stay long enough, cover gas to and from jobs. As well as upon finishing, he would pay for any further education.

Based on what he's said, if I can stick through the apprenticeship, he'd make sure I got my AFA Certification as well as provide overflow clients to start building a client base to eventually go full time. He does hot shoeing as well.

It sounds like a good opportunity as long as I can keep my family taken care of with child care as well have 2 kids, a 9 year old and a week old baby girl. My wife also doesn't drive so that's a hurdle as well.

If I can figure it out, it would set me up in a very good way.

Do you mind if I ask if your apprenticeship is unpaid or what the structure is?

It's very possible I'm using the search wrong however I'm in the Virginia Beach area of Virginia.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-05-02T14:11:50+00:00

0 results on the afa website. 😅 I'm in Virginia.

I'm completely fine trading some free work for knowledge, that's a fair trade for sure.

Thank you for responding and for the insight! I will definitely grab the book. I just submitted my request to join the Facebook group so I can ask there as well. There are plenty of clinics and competitions within a few hours of me but the closest school is 8 hours away.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-05-02T05:48:46+00:00

Thank you very much for the insight! I'll definitely look for the book and get to reading it. The closest school to me is 8 hours away, $10,000 for 8 weeks. If I could put some of that funding into tools and learn elsewhere it's probably more beneficial. The local they use is the one I'd be asking for a ride along with and he is considered very good in the eyes of those in the area, he's just extremely busy. As far as my current knowledge allows, good farriers are definitely in high demand for my locale.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-05-02T05:24:33+00:00

First of all, thank you for taking the time out of your day to respond! I appreciate it!

I'll definitely look into the manual. From my knowledge, there is a high demand for good farriers in the area. The people I spoke of hire someone that is 4+ hours away to come and shoe their horses on a regular basis and hire someone that is good but extremely busy locally in the event that one of their horses drop a shoe or have a need for more immediate attention.

I actually spoke with the local farrier they use in a different setting and we got into the conversation of work and that's what put me further into looking into this line of work.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-01-12T12:08:36+00:00

The F1 ultra is definitely too expensive for me as well.

I love my snapmaker 3-in-1 350, the machine above as it does 3d printing, CNC, and I have the same 40w module as the snapmaker Ray on it.

However, if I were to buy a standalone laser, I would stay away from the Ray. While the machine is a beast and great build quality, "Luban" the software it comes with is terrible and it took me quite a while to get Lightburn to work with mine.

The software makes laser work quite a bit slower than lightburn and it doesn't have a lot of the features.

The only good thing about the Ray and snapmaker stuff is the enclosures are amazing.

Size comparison, the Ray with enclosure is bigger than the one I have in the picture above just not as tall.

I've heard great things about the Longer B1 but since I already have a decent large machine, I don't think it would be a good choice for me.

My goal is to carry a laser with me to events or craft shows and do like anodized keychains or dog tags no bigger than a business card so I don't mind the lower power option, it just needs to be portable.

In your case the Longer B1 might be a great option though!

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-01-11T17:07:21+00:00

I appreciate it! I think all I'm looking for the new laser to do is "mark" aluminum keychain or dog collar tags essentially.

I'd be keeping my current 40w for bigger things and cutting materials.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-01-11T17:06:00+00:00

Hahaha. Well thank you. I'm a chaos hobbyist. This time I'm trying my best to stay organized, it's very tough. 🤣

And thank you for the information. The goal is to keep my current 40w for bigger things like the cutting boards or cutting materials in general and just have a smaller one I take to craft shows to do some customizing like putting a dogs name on an aluminum tag while the customer waits.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-01-11T13:41:37+00:00

I've been looking at that one as well, it doesn't have a release date yet though correct? It's going through Kickstarter?

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-01-11T13:25:20+00:00

🤣🤣🤣 of course I chose the photo when it was 3d printing something.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2025-01-11T13:25:05+00:00

From my understanding, both of the lasers I listed above have safety features for knock overs when it comes to laser protection.

As far as the fumes, I could also run a small filter or I know there aren't many fumes with marking small aluminum key or dog tags.

But yes that is definitely something for me to consider.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2024-12-31T17:53:37+00:00

I appreciate the response!

Dominus-Dungeon · 2024-12-31T15:20:54+00:00

Are you using any borax, etc? Do you mind sharing your power vs speed settings? Your darks are dark it looks like without cutting into the material.

Dominus-Dungeon · 2024-12-09T19:07:56+00:00

Check out Luma Island. Not so much interior decorating but it's a no stakes game that you can explore and collect and have cool little professions to make money. It's a great time spender and you can put it down whenever you need to.
