On this episode of The Riley Black Project, we sit down with Roy from Industrial Fringe to dive into his journey from DJ booths and Disney clubs to the laser world.

Roy shares how he went from sublimation to lasers after picking up the xTool F1, and how documenting his learning process turned into a YouTube channel with 21K+ subscribers. We get into:

How sublimation, tumblers, and snarky coaster designs led to building Industrial Fringe

What it’s really like to balance creating vs. selling products as a maker

The power of short-form content and YouTube monetization (the lessons nobody tells you)

Affiliate marketing done right—why credibility matters more than commissions

Roy’s hilarious time as an extra on Miami Vice 

Why laser communities and conferences are game-changers for makers

We also talk gear—xTool F1, F1 Ultra, WeCreate Lumos, and more—plus why finding equipment you actually enjoy using is key to success.
