WoodCollector the saga continues?....

Yeah but pollock never used a machine to make something that was claimed to be made by hand. Pollock also could paint less abstract peices. He was actually talented

I don't care if Pollock used a machine or his hands, that is a piece of garbage worth nothing close to 140 mil.

value is subjectively different with each person.

You may say it is a piece of garbage while another was willing to pay some really high price for it.

Oh, so even if you wouldn't pay $14k for a piece of WC's art, someone else might, who'd have thought.

I'm in no position to tell people what to do with their money.

But when I see shady actions by someone I will call it out.

Hence all the discussion and my "Smoothie Swag".

Smoothie, did you actually do this yourself on YOUR own laser?

Do you realize it's just to make fun of WC? Does it really matter if he did it on his own laser? Smoothie probably has lots of money to throw around. Even if he did on his own, it won't matter.

Yes i get it was a joke. Its a very simple question - he said his laser was $15k so he is giving people the impression he did this himself, I just want Smoothie to confirm that is the case or not or whether he mislead people here with that statement.

I am pretty certain if anyone watched the video they know how it was made
That one is a clear well do your research it's on page 1

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.

Ah that laser costs 15k as a unit

For the quality of work it can do it seems like a nice investment I'm a bit surprised there isn't a local design store in many cities that says we do custom wood art submit us a design and we will have it ready in under 20 minutes. (Or they don't advertise much)
Can see a market for it  

Besides here of course Bitcoin needs some eye candy I can see this in a local bitcoinstore to attract customers and get them interested in Bitcoin at the same time one of those unique value propositions.

Yes I had initially purchased it to laser my physical bitcoin holograms for specific purposes. Until this day I still use it for that purpose.

It is nice having my own laser (whether or not anyone believes I have and own my own laser is irrelevant as I am not selling anything on that premise. I made  a piece and all of a sudden I supposedly owe people answers lol. I think I will just let those who want to speculate on my actually owning a laser or not circle jerk themselves and waste time posting about it as I really could care less if anyone believes me or not.) as I can make and create things on a whim. Call it an expensive toy but for work purposes as well.

In Hawaii there probably are some vendors that have their own in house laser to use but I am not aware of any to this date.

WoodCollector the saga.... pfff. don't you have other things to do ? Wood?! come one ))))) LOL

It's a very nice investment if you can sell one piece of artwork for 14k  .

[smoothie]

someone asked for a 100 LTC design for a wooden bar or coin...

something I slapped together messing around...

I tried cutting out a circle/coin with the laser err I mean with my hand  and I epically failed lol. Learned that wetting the wood does help from it leaving burn marks on the design, hence the up close image.

i think 14K is a huge amount for that ...

[homeless hacker]

Was the expensive wood he claimed to have used actually used? If so, I personally believe he is not in the wrong. Even though if using a laser, he did manipulate his clientele to a certain extent.

A key difference is if you bought the Pollock, since there is a market for it, it would likely hold it's value and possibly you would make money selling it for more one day.   That ugly laser engraved block of wood forming a crooked "B".... not so much.   That he's using rare / expensive wood only makes it more of a crime actually. 

[hilariousandco]

From what I gather the wood wasn't as expensive as he was making out. Someone exposed it in one of the many threads related to him.

There is seven or so threads on this if I recall from meta
Probably skimmed it but forgot which one your mentioning exactly.
