More Wild Hare Ideas

Finally got to play with a laser engraver. In addition to cutting/piercing and "printing" by burning tiny dots into things, it can also do low relief "carving" using a gray scale image where WHITE means Don't Burn, BLACK means Burn Deepest and grays are in between. LOTS of Wild Hare possibilities with this thing. Creating gray scale patterns in PhotoShop to "carve" is interesting.

This one was a synthesis (combining) of two ideas and the use of a saved "failure".

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Thanks for posting this. The possibilities seem endless.

Buried in one of the links is a mention of a public access shop which charges a monthly membership fee, and which includes this type of device.

The public access shop mentioned, The Saw Dust Shop is in Sunnyvale, California, in the south end of San Francisco Bay.

As you can see if you go through the photos of the shop, in addition to power tools, the shop also has hand tools as well.They also have a Shop Bot cnc unit that will handle a 4x8 sheet goods.
