#118 Lasers, Quilts & Signs: Building a 70-Person Business from Fabric and Fire
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- Bed size, wattage, and finding the right machine- Why fitness is essential for business owners
