Buy versus build?
Thread Starter: Jamie Buxton

Laserbits' Solid Surface

I saw on Facebook today that Laserbits is now selling 12x24x1/8 sheets of Solid Surface material in 5 colors. Obviously the $23/sht price isn't as good

Electric Weed Wacker...

We've had a B&D corded string trimmer for years. B&D's electric lawn tools seem decent, we also have a corded electric mower for a townhouse

Chinese laser purchase/Shenui/Laserworks tips and tricks thread

I was assuming it was similar to my Redsail laser, which uses the water flow sensor built into the CW3000. If this laser has a built-in sensor, it is

Reclaimed Oak Coffee Table Design Help

Now I'm kicking myself for never doing this sooner, after all of the pieces I've made and then after sat back and realized what I should have changed.
