Very cool! I wish that I could find a similar program/class in my area. I will have to start looking around and see what I can find.

Hi Ralph,

Those test pieces look so neat and tidy - I bet you cannot wait to get your designs on there now. Any plans for what you want to mke next? I see the laser removes to a set depth or can cut the plywood completely - do you think it PWMs the beam or reduces current to achieve that level of control ?

Hi Ralph,

What a nice opportunity. There used to be a maker space in our little town but there wasn't enough population to support it so it folded and away went access to a laser printer. Every time I need to make a front panel for one of my builds I miss them.

Hi Ralph,

That sounds like it was a lot of fun. Nice setup too. Are you able to go back and use the equipment?
