Engraving Timber Pen Blanks
Hi All,
Setup the rotary today to do some timber pen blanks for another pen turner and boy did I have some fun. It worked then it did not, but managed to get it all sorted eventually Once it was all sorted and set, it never missed a beat !!
Looking forward to getting into some serious stuff soon
Cheers
Tony.

Well I am afraid that it serves you right.
If you had done as I suggested earlier then you would not have had any problems with it at all for the next ten years.
They do look good though.Bob Willson

More Laser Work
Hi All,
Inspired by Darren Embree, I decided to give some time to trying out a weave pattern all cut on the Laser rotary, all in all a good learning curve and got a little bit more to learn yet to perfect it but not too bad for a first attempt
Cheers
Tony.

Acrylic Fish Acclimatisation / Fish Trap
Hi All,
Some more work done on the laser cutter. A friend asked if I could make a prototype acclimatisation / fish trap which are used in various types of aquariums. So to work we went and this is what we ended up with.
All tabbed for easy and quick assembly and all that is required is a little acrylic glue.
Thanks
Tony.

They look bl00dy marvelous Tony.
Certainly a money spinner if you wanted to go into production. Much better than plastic bags and built in safety against forgetting to let the fish out.Bob Willson

Tony how much do you allow for your laser cut in your joins. David

David, not exactly sure what you are asking, joins for what? My laser cuts very accurately with very minimal gap between the cut. I do plan to change the lense which will allow for an even finer cut and even greater detail when engraving. If this does not answer your question then let me know and I will try to clarify )
Cheers
Tony
