I'm Keith Schlotthauer, the owner of Schlotdog Laser & Engraving. Schlotdog Laser & Engraving means more to me than just a business; it's an extension of my hobbies where I can combine my love for design with the capabilities of OMTech machines. In addition to crafting physical products, I share my designs on Etsy, offering SVG files to reach a wider audience. I also participate in craft fairs, which allows me to connect with customers on a personal level while showcasing my physical creations. While my annual earnings from my laser engraving business amount to around $6,000, the personal satisfaction I get from bringing my creative visions to life is truly priceless.

I'm Kara Franklin, the owner of House of Franklin. My journey began with a simple scroll saw, but the desire to optimize our sign-making business led my husband, Jarrett, and me to explore the world of laser engraving four years ago. My part-time venture with OMTech lasers now yields an annual income ranging from 50k-80k, proving the lucrative potential for those willing to embark on this journey. I encourage new laser owners to find their niche and create what they love. When passion is infused into your work, it reflects in every creation and sets the stage for a fulfilling and prosperous venture. OMTech engraving machines are not just tools; they are catalysts for turning your passion into a thriving business.

Our entrepreneurial journey kicked off with a blend of creative spark and a thirst for change. Overwhelmed by the grind, we channeled our passion into a business, inspired by crafting toys and games for our 19 grandkids. This led to the birth of our first hit product: a marble racetrack. The introduction of OMTech lasers revolutionized our production, shifting from time-consuming 3D printing to efficient laser cutting, significantly boosting our output and reliability. We really want to thank OMTech for providing a quality machine for a reasonable price. The laser journey for our business has been a great one and we look forward to continued expansion.
