This week, Aaron sits down with Clay from Thunder Laser USA — and trust us, it’s not just a conversation about machines. It’s about how one family business turned a quilting shop into a tech-driven operation with 70+ employees, a national sales footprint, and an expanding catalog of cutting-edge tools.

From laser-cut acrylic to engraving Stanley cups and prepping for UV printing, Clay breaks down what’s powering the maker movement—and why his company’s customer support gets a reply time under 7 minutes.
🔥 Topics Covered:
- How Thunder Laser grew out of a quilting business
- What every new laser operator needs to know
- Cutting vs. engraving: what works for signs
- Common mistakes when using CO₂ lasers
- Tips for clean cuts in wood and acrylic
