Laser projects
BeeMaster2:
I did some engraving yesterday. Mostly working on getting a bee print that Les?s daughter designed to engrave on canning jar lids.
Then I used the same design to create t and engrave birch plywood. They came out pretty good.
Les, let me know if you want to use the files/settings. I?ll send them to you.

A good friend from my AT&T days is building an airplane. He has been working on it for about 10 years. It is now just about finished but t before he can get it certified he hast to have labels on every switch, gage and indicator. We decided on brass plates with a shiny black coating. I thought the engraver would expose the brass when engraved. As you can see in the photo it did not. I sanded one of the plates and as you can see, they are not really brass they are aluminum. I did a test run and they came out pretty good. We are sending the black brass plates back to Amazon and ordered silver plates. Most of the labels will be pretty small so I will be printing three or four labels per plate.

I like what you and Les are doing with your lasers. It appears the possibilities are far and wide! I hope this topic will continue to proceed and expand with interest.

The brass lid worked well Jim. It looks as though the finish applied to the lid is different to what I have on mine. You a creating some good stuff. Well done.

A sign you're getting old, I guess ... finding things funny that seem normal to others ... I've been noticing many "new ones" over the years.
Just curious, but who else chuckled a little ...
When they saw "Laser Projects" under the category of "Farming and Country Life"?
