EDIT: ARG, did it again! It's backwards. :/
Well, time for another 10 minutes on the machine.

A few minutes of laser-ing, a few minutes cleaning, and now I have this:

Much better!

These are so razzle dazzle!

I could totally send you some coffee mugs that are squarish and you could laser them. Then use some rub-n-buff (gold or silver) and fill it in.

It would look sweet.

Fink, I have been wanting to close all my letters with a beautiful, unique, avvesome wax seal!

....think you could help me out?

I love it! I'm glad you realized it was backwards yourself...I was trying to think of a gentle way to break it to you.

Well it doesn't need to be pretty...I'll continue in pm so as to not disrupt the flow of the conversation.

Since when has one of your main concerns been not to disrupt the flow of conversations?

Someone else did that for me, you troll! I hope you like the real one.

I think so. These wooden seals are not designed for wax- it would stick rather terribly methinks. I am going to order some plastic so I can do wax seals and for ConfusedCatholicGuy, a signet ring.

[TheresaThoma]

YAY!!!!

[ConfusedCatholicGuy]

Woot woot, signet ring time is near...ish... ok, it will be a while, but I am still excited!

[arfink]

I've been looking at the prices that places like Ponoko are charging for laser cutting and engraving, and all I can say is HOLY COW.

You got one heck of a deal USAirways.

I ran out of props, otherwise I would give this one.
Just lemme know when you get some, and what you charge.

Here's a little something I did today. My sister found this razzle dazzle tiny flint-glass bottle at work that had flat sides. It's about 1.25" wide by 3" tall and it engraved very nicely with the laser. There was a little distortion from the faces being not quite flat, but otherwise it was quite good.

Also, the "grain" of the glass hugely reduces the effective resolution achievable on this surface. Much above 500 DPI is completely useless.

[ConfusedCatholicGuy]

Whoa! That is super razzle dazzle! She should see if she can find any more of those or similar types of glassware. As long as she doesn't get in trouble.

In my experience, you can find a lot of stuff like that at flea markets or those big roadside sort of antique shops.

Soon man, soon. Hopefully when Grant is available too. He's never been, you know.

[Vincent Vega]

Yeah, I know.
