Laser engraving

We have gotten quite a few special orders in the last week, which are great. It helps encorage my wife that we have a good thing going! And, it gives me the chance to be creative, nd really learn what the machine and software can do!

Here is a custom ornament for a board member!

Hit up the Dallas Fraternal Order of Police or Dallas Police Association and ask to advertise with them too. Those would make cool Christmas gifts.

Well, our second event was a bust. We had WAY more inventory and gift type items from flasks to hats, but traffic was non existent! It was a 2-7 event, people were packing up by 4:30. We were leaving the parking lot by 7:04. We barely covered our booth fee. The promoters were advertising it as the holiday market with the most foot traffic in Hunt County. Oh well. I have been able to concert some of the inventory into sales through Facebook, so that has helped!

FB Ad's is where its at. Dont forget # tags too. Also a good idea would be to make a decent portfolio and put out fliers at kids sporting events or even hook up with some of the local associations and see if you can advertise whenever they do the team photos. Always helps to grease the league presidents palm as well...

Those hats are awesome...are they just stick on leather patches or sewn in place?

It is a product called leatherette. It is a faux leather with a colored layer beneath. We haven't expanded into real leather just yet.

They are glued on.

More new stuff. Trying to have stocking stuffer type items available for the show this weekend. I also re-did the hat patch. Much better now. I also got a couple of orders for custom hats.

how do you know if the scale is correct if you wanted to cut a profile of an object exactly?

Making an exact replica? Yeah, my machine won't cut exact measurements. Something is off with the steppers. I need to spend some time with tech support.

Umm...probe?

We have a built in camera, so it will take a picture of the cut bed. It also has the ability to take a picture of writing, drawing, etc, so that it can be cut/etched

Learning new stuff. We have another vendor fair here in Greenville on the 15th. Trying to expand our swrvices and products to project business into the new year.

Tonights edition of fun with lasers.

Etched photos. I need to tweak setting s to get a darker image, but I'm happy with it as a first attempt.



I finished up the LED shilhouette light. I used veneer edging to finish the open perimeter. On production units, I will cut some hoops to glue into place. The LED's glow right through the veneer. Again, as a prototype, I'm happy with it. Should be able to market them in the $20-30 range.

Send me the details. We will see if we can work it out

I'm going to see how good of a picture I can get of the branding brand.

Told ya the acrylic will open up a whole other avenue of projects. Do you know if your machine has the ability to add a probe and map out existing objects?

Having a little fun today while waiting on parts to dry for custom orders.

It needs some kind of frame to hide the LED strip, and then wrapped with veneer.
