Master Heat-Based Color Engraving
Go beyond black and white. This hands-on, live session teaches you how to create 12–15 repeatable, rich color tones — from tan and brown to smoky grays — on black Magpul Gen 3 PMAGs using nothing but your laser’s heat. No paint, no dye — just pure thermal artistry.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your setup, this class helps you take control of color with confidence. You’ll learn how to build your own repeatable color library, tailored to your exact machine and materials — with step-by-step guidance every minute of the way.
This session is ideal for laser artists and engravers ready to elevate their skills and take full control of the engraving process. If you’re serious about mastering color through precision, not guesswork, this class is where you start.
Class Format:
• Live via Zoom or Messenger
• Duration: 1 to 1.5 hours
• Cost: $100
• Not recorded – all instruction is live and interactive
During the class, we’ll fine-tune the key variables that drive heat-based color engraving. You’ll learn how to control laser speed, power, and frequency to shape depth and tone. If you’re using a MOPA fiber laser, we’ll also explore pulse width adjustments for sharper detail and smoother gradients. You’ll see how multiple passes layer heat for richer color and how line spacing affects texture and finish.
By the end, you’ll have proven PMAG color settings, a clearer approach to working with new materials, and the confidence to troubleshoot when needed. This isn’t just theory — it’s grounded, real-world engraving experience.
The class is designed for use with a MOPA fiber laser and black Magpul Gen 3 PMAGs, which give the most reliable results. Gen 2 and off-brand mags aren’t covered due to material inconsistencies.
What’s Included:
My personal PMAG color settings, live guidance as you test, real-time troubleshooting support, and a practical understanding of how to control heat to create color.
Design ClassCreate Custom Laser-Ready Art From Scratch
The Design Class is a personalized, hands-on session that teaches you how to take your creative idea from concept to a finished, laser-ready file — even if you’ve never worked in design software before. Whether you’re engraving PMAGs, tumblers, knives, or any other laserable surface, this class gives you the exact skills and tools to bring your vision to life.
Each session runs for 1.5 hours and takes place live on Zoom. You’ll receive a full recording afterward via Dropbox so you can revisit everything we covered. The base class is $150 and includes complete instruction without any deliverables. For those booking the full experience — two sessions for $275 — you’ll also receive a fully customized design file built with your input, plus my personal Magpul Gen 3 PMAG template for alignment and prep. These exclusive assets are only available when the two-class package is completed.
Before the session begins, we’ll lock in a design concept together to keep the training focused and aligned with your goals. During the class, we’ll dive into the same tools I use every day — including prompt-based design platforms and Adobe Illustrator. You’ll learn how to cut, clean, stack, reshape, and layer your design so it’s ready for flawless engraving.
