The idea of cutting nuc boxes was put on hold for a while as I had another idea creep into my pea sized brain as I was bottling up some honey for the up coming markets. I was in a bit of a daze just standing there filling one jar after another and then it just hit me. Could I use this engraver to cut material for my comb honey frames? I couldn?t get away from the bottling job quickly enough to get into the software and start on an idea. When I make up my mini frames for comb honey, the biggest consumer of my time is the materials prep. If I could get the laser to cut out the timber, I would have a bit of a win/ win situation. First of all the precision would be exact and then there is the time saver due to the machine doing its thing while I am attending to other jobs within the workshop area. My current comb honey frames are stapled together and do the job nicely but if I had the machine working for me, I could produce things slightly differently. I spent about 20 minutes coming up with a basic frame to see what would work. I used an off-cut of 3mm ply for the test and put the cutter to work. Finger joints held together well and the whole idea got me inspired to develop the idea further. I think that I will work on a few refinements over the coming months to improve the style and shape to make the system a bit better to work with. From now on, any playtime in this area will be put into the comb honey thread that I started many moons ago.
