JDS, and I think PDU, supplies a number of boxes of different sizes and shapes. You can laser cut the foam inside to fit the shape of the bottle you're using. Perhaps they have the size/shape you...

I also use the JDS plaques. For fill I've only tried Rub n Buff. I apply a bit to the engraving and after a few seconds (it seems to dry pretty fast) I buff it off with a small hand-held car...

Nicely done! Thank You and Merry Christmas!

I'm pretty sure the mugs are less than $4 each; even less if you buy by the case.

Thanks Gary,

Glad to hear it's not just me having a hard time with tracing. I send my complex graphics to 24Hour Artwork out in Seattle. Since I'm in Central Time, the time difference works to...

Gary,

My traces in Corel never come out that smooth. How do you do it? Any special techniques?

Thanks Dee,

It looks like I've got some testing to do. Engraving some ceramic tiles with my 25W VersaLaser can take a long time. I'm hoping the Cermark might speed things up and make the image...

Dee,

The Cermark you used, is it the same type used on metal or a special type for ceramic tile?

George,

Great work on that piece. I have to agree with the others, your choice of wood was right on.

Having visited Washington, D.C. this summer and seen the Declaration firsthand, your work...

Tim,

That looks to be cast bronze. I've gotten quotes for these before, and depending on the size you're probably looking at $700 - $1,400 net.

You wouldn't think so, but there are lots of...

I've gotten wooden plates from Hobby Lobby and Michael's and they've turned out pretty good. I don't know what type of wood they're made of though.

I do not use the air assist cone when...

Mark,

How do you normally decorate your solid wood plaques? Like you, I strive to sell a quality product that sets my work apart. However, so far all I've really done are plaque plates on wood....

Count me in! Thanks En-Gravs.

Definite possibilities here.

I was trying to cutout some cork squares the other day, on a tight schedule, and just couldn't get them to cut correctly.

I have a ULS VersaLaser 2.30, 25W. Does...

I agree with Mike.

Based on the 60w taking only 2min to run the job, $2-$3 would be more in line with what I'd charge. It's tedious work, I've done a job of 144 wine glasses recently, but the...

Dee,

That's really nice.

Is that black acrylic, or is it painted? How did you get the outline to cut the hole for the coin on the right?

Again, Excellent work.

Todd

I quit using the dishwashing liquid method because it would sometimes dry too quickly on long runs and cause inconsistent results.

I etch all my glass products dry. I set up each project at -23%...

Ross,

I'm reading up on all this color-fill stuff too. How did your test come out

Martin,

I have a VersaLaser and use its materials database. I use the same settings as those for LaserTile, medium setting.

Hope that gets you in the ballpark.

That's what we did when I was a scout leader. We held the scout's tournament, then a separate tournament for the leaders and adults who wanted to enter. It was really fun that way.

Doug,

Let your imagination run wild.

In all my years with the scouts, I've seen quite a few. I've seen cars shaped like a cell phone, an electric razor, a box of kitchen matches, and every...

Chuck, good call. I received a reply back from the sales rep this morning. They have a very nice round diamond cut pin with a laserable black center.

Ok, I understand now.

Thanks Mike.

Mike, doming? With a laser?
