Thank you Pinterest...

 

Thank you Pinterest and Etsy for providing such wonderful ideas for me to copy!  Imitation IS the best form of flattery, right?  My latest lasered creation (found on Pinterest by Caralee Spafford) is a framed Walnut veneer engagement gift.  Congratulations Shannon and Broderick!

Making Ornaments on the Laser

The glass ball ornaments I made last Christmas using my Eggbot were well received.  This year I decided to make new designs using my laser cutter.  Above are two finished ornaments I will be selling.  The left is made from 1/8" plywood and the right from 1/8" green Acrylic.  The design I used is from the logo of Mission Hills, Boy Scout Troop 104.

Rio 2011

Below are photos and video from my recent work and vacation trip to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.  I spent a week vacationing throughout the city and a week working at Silimed, a medical device manufacturer my company, Applied Silicone, supplies raw materials to.  It was a busy week of work and a fun week of vacation!
