Thank you for the advice! I will work with that tool and learn to use it...didn't even know you could do that! I did know about the clone tool (LOVE that thing!) :)

Tim, John and I have decided that we need to move next door to you so we can put up lights in our yard that say "Ditto" with an arrow pointing to your house!

That is absolutely incredible!

In the past when I have used small pictures I have simply upped the dpi and enlarged them and it has worked quite well. I did make the pictures smaller so I could post them but when I originally...

I thought I had gotten pretty good at adjusting pictures for engraving on granite...but I just can't seem to get this one where it looks right. I've tried several different levels of...

Hey Doug, I know that there are a few here that might disagree with me, but for the beginner there is an excellent online training program called Laser U , found at Laseru.com. Kathy Arnold and...

Hey Dave, I tried that but for some reason it would not recognize the hard drive.

Has anyone attempted to carve an intricate design in a real pumpkin with a laser? Was thinking if I did it I would set it in a dishpan or something to alleviate any mess that might occur. Also...

Yeah, but Mike didn't you start engraving as soon as the Ark hit solid ground? :D

awesome job! I think the fish look fantastic!

The plans look very reasonable. might be kinda fun to build. Not quite sure how much all the electronics would run for it, but would make a fun hobby for sure.

Why? Because Frank said so. Nuff said! lol
If Frank said rub fresh buffalo dung on it before lasering, a lot of folks would wonder about it, but there would still be a rush on buffalo dung the...

So many times Alicia and I have come to The Creek seeking advice or ideas. And without exception we have walked away with the answers we needed to achieve success on the project we were working on. ...

Thanks a million, Darren! We modified the spacer by sizing it down to the diameter we needed and adjusted the holes then used wood glue to put it together and felt on the ends...it worked like a...

Ok, two thoughts come to mind.
1.) Your hyper paranoid and afraid the govt. is gonna pick your brain and tax you out the butt....
Wait... thats not paranoia, that's reality! Ok forget the hyper...

Privacy? What is that? Wait, hold on a sec.... yep found it in an OLD DICTIONARY when it was still in existence.

–noun, plural -cies.
1. the state of being private; retirement or seclusion....

Thanks Darren, That is awesome, I really appreciate it. I was trying to figure out when I was going to have time today to design a spacer, so you really came through. Funny, today is my day off, but...

As much as I despise the Micro$oft monopoly, I have gotten used to XP. My laser works fine with it. The thing I hate is that it will look at how much memory you have and say, "I can use all of...

Thanks for all the wonderful advice. Darren, I was going to download your CDR of the spacer,but I keep getting an address not found error. Is that the correct address that is listed or has it been...

That's kind of what I was thinking on the graphic...maybe just an outline with the lines and a star...Thanks again Darren!

Our auto-focus seems to have gotten broken at some point so it's always...

Thanks Darren! My rotary attachment is, indeed, just like the diagram that you posted. I will go with the regular champagne flutes and probably make a spacer so that I have less risk of hitting the...

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, the problem is not the head hitting the glass and breaking it but the head hitting the rotary attachment itself and thus causing an x motor error? If this is...

I will be engraving text with simple graphics on the glasses...kind of a weird deal but they want 4 names and a date. They are for a wedding and the bride and groom each have one child whom the...

Hi all,

I've got an order for some champagne glasses for a wedding but we do not have a lens that will allow us to do flutes. My manual says the minimum diameter we can do with our lens is 3". ...

You can buy glue chip glass from basically any glass shop, it's a decorative glass, but it's kind of expensive. Very interesting to know how it is done considering I think the effect is quite...

We bought an old computer from John's employer for $50.00 but it won't run our SATA drive. We tried buying adapters that were supposed to make it work but didn't. We also tried an adapter that was...
