This index collects 9 project videos that were not yet listed in another AM how-to index: a large carved wooden box, a retrofitted caravan drawer insert, a Supawood stand, a bullet tray, double-sided game coins, racing circuit coasters, wooden clocks and a pen holder. General CO2 laser videos are in the [CO2 laser how-to index](co2-laser-howtos.md), TruCUT machine videos are in the [TruCUT how-to index](trucut-howtos.md), and image preparation and rotary videos are in the [laser engraving preparation and rotary index](laser-engraving-prep-rotary-howtos.md). Deduplicated by watch ID across all AM how-to index pages (channel indexes alone do not count as how-to coverage). **Source:** local AM YouTube dump `youtube.jsonl` (daily / main channels; refreshed 2026-10-18 00:25 SAST). First written 2026-10-18 16:33 SAST with 9 videos. **YouTube was not crawled.** Titles and watch URLs below are taken from the dump as written. Videos were **not** watched. Only two clips have a spoken dump transcript; the short summaries below are paraphrased from those transcripts only. The other clips have no transcript, or only music and an AM anniversary voice-over, so only their titles are listed. Nothing was invented to fill gaps. ## English dump titles (9 unique watch URLs) Grouped by topic and sorted by date. AM-channel uploads are framed as **AM training/support sources**. Each watch URL is a source. ### Boxes, drawer inserts, stands and trays These clips show flat-pack wood projects cut on a CO2 laser: - **Large carved wooden box (2023):** a customer box 450 mm wide, 250 mm high and 400 mm deep is cut from 6 mm MDF. The finger-jointed box outline is made on an online box-maker website (millimetres, 6 mm material thickness, open top because a separate lid is made, two fingers on the uprights), imported into Illustrator, vectorised and exported as DXF, and then opened in the laser software where the artwork is placed inside each panel. Cut lines go on one colour layer and the engraving artwork stays black on another; the clip suggests selecting the easy outer cut lines first and leaving the detailed artwork as the engraving layer. Settings used on a 150 W tube were engraving at 450 mm/s and 40% power, and cutting at 20 mm/s and 75% power (about 15 mm/s on a lower-power tube). It warns that each layer's output must be set to yes, or that layer is skipped. The pieces nearly fill a 1300 x 900 mm bed, so each panel is sent as its own job, saved to a USB memory stick and run from the machine, and the controller's work time preview estimates how long a job will take. After cutting, the parts are cleaned with soapy water and a cloth (masking tape on the board before cutting is the alternative), glued with quick-dry wood glue in the finger joints, taped for about 10 minutes and finished with black spray paint rather than varnish, because the compressed board soaks up moisture. - **Retrofitted caravan drawer insert (2021):** a customer's caravan drawer is fitted with a cut-out insert that holds six mugs and a container. Each object is measured and drawn with about a 5 mm gap so it slides in, the layout is drawn as circles with handle slots, converted to a vector DXF and cut from 3 mm MDF on one layer at speed 20 and 65% power. A test fit with the mug confirms the measurements before the rest of the order is cut. - **Supa stand and bullet tray:** a 2014 clip makes a stand from 6 mm Supawood on a 90 W CO2 laser, and a 2020 clip makes a tray for 9 mm bullets from Supawood on a CNC laser (no spoken transcript in the dump). | Date | Title (from dump) | Watch URL (source) | | --- | --- | --- | | 2014-08-18 | Make a Supa Stand by 6mm Supawood with 90W CO2 Laser Cutting Machine | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3y7S9uLWw0 | | 2020-07-05 | Making a Bullet Tray for 9mm Bullet with Supawood Cut on CNC Laser Cutting and Engraving Machine | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KKEfSCjGtg | | 2021-11-28 | Retrofit Cabinet Drawer by Laser Cutting Machine on Supawood From Design to Finish Explained | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og2u-Mq-zGc | | 2023-10-22 | Create Large Carved Wooden Box by CO2 Laser Machine Cutting and Laser Engraving | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp313Na_H1c | ### Coasters, game coins, clocks and desk items These clips show smaller engraved and cut wood items (no spoken transcripts in the dump, so only titles are listed): double-sided engraved Supawood game coins (2021), MotoGP racing circuit coasters in Supawood finished with Novaglow wood coatings (2020), a custom wooden clock (2023), a laser-cut clock face (2026), and a pen holder engraved and cut on an LC-6040L desktop CO2 laser (2025). | Date | Title (from dump) | Watch URL (source) | | --- | --- | --- | | 2020-07-12 | MotoGP Grand Prix Racing Circuits Coasters Made by Supawood with Novaglow Wood Coatings | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-wxsiOww0c | | 2021-01-03 | Double Side Laser Engraved Game Coins by Supawood and Engrave and Cut on CNC Laser Cutting Machine | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xj4_3Y5sITw | | 2023-12-05 | Making A Custom Made Clock Out of Wood | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cievTT_vEGs | | 2025-08-05 | LC -6040L Co2 Laser, engraving and cutting the pens holder | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Qq6di1nQM | | 2026-08-25 | Laser Cutting Cuts Out Clock Face | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sBSZ7v4lS4 | ## Related SKUs (Buythis dump and am.im product JSON only; no prices, no stock) Product names come from the Buythis product dump (`buythis.jsonl`; **not crawled**) and am.im product JSON.

Channel indexes listing the same watch URL do not count as how-to coverage. - Speed and power figures are the ones spoken in the clips for that machine and board; test on an offcut first, because tube power, lens and material batch change the result. - Older videos may show earlier machine or software versions; quote current specifications from the product page. - Live stock is never stored here; check the live stock feed for availability.
