Black Beard Projects is an Italian YouTuber who started his channel in 2016. He works full time on his YouTube channel where he shows all kinds of DIY projects. Active in all sorts of creative fields, lately his focus has been on metal working. More specifically knifemaking, bladesmithing and metal casting - with the occasional machinery restoration to keep expanding his workshop capabilities.
Since Gader was a child, he's always made stuff and tinkered as a hobby. In his mid twenties he decided to start his online business, Black Beard Projects. For him this is the best job he’d ever dream of having.
“And with lots of luck and over 300 video projects published I am happy to say it really is a fun and fulfilling job!” said Gader.
He uses his FLUX Beambox laser cutter and engraver to trace templates, quickly prototype shapes and cut materials for his many projects.
In the video below, you can see how he uses his laser cutter to cut and engrave leather while making a wallet. He cuts the individual pieces of the wallet and also adds a cool pattern on the outside, making a truly unique piece!
Black Beard Projects has also used his Beambox laser cutter in his metalworking projects, like this video where he transforms an old steel file into a personalised puukko knife. In this case, he used the FLUX Beambox to engrave the metal and cut the cork for the knife handle.
“I chose FLUX for the solid and sleek constructions and premium materials, but have been also super impressed by the quick setup process and ease of use with the dedicated and wireless software!” Gader said.
