Thank you all for your valuable input. No intention of quitting my day job but once I'm forced out, I may have a bit of time for awhile to devote to my laser.

I was just wondering how many on the forum use the laser for a hobby, how many use it to make extra cash, and how many have a full blown career from the work they do with the laser.

I bought mine...

Darren:
I burned the photo last night. It came out much better than my previous attempts - more detail. Attached is a photo but I have to tell you it looks better in person. My camera seems to be...

Thanks everybody. I one last night out of acrylic and it is perfect!

Very nice Darren. I really would love to find a course on photo manipulation using Corel.

I'll give it a try tonight. Better invert too huh?

Thanks for all the help. I'll get a photo of...

Hey Darren:
I'm putting the picture and some brief text on a 5x7, (engraving area 4x6) marble stand. The picture actually needs to be quite small - like 3 x 2.5". This is the only photo I have. ...

Good Evening All:
I've been asked by my best client (my sister) to put the attached photo on marble. I've followed the advice on settings given on this forum with decent results, but this one is...

Thanks James! Exactly what I was looking for!

Attached is a picutre of the top. It may seem silly to be so excited about something so simple, but it made me feel good that I made it all myself from my barn that I love.

As far as the...

Can anyone tell me if they have come across a pattern for cutting a wine glass holder that fits over the neck of a wine bottle, similar to the picture attached? I've seen them that hold 2 and 4...

Hi All:
Haven't been here is awhile since other areas of my life took priority but while I was gone I did a small garden bench made out of barn wood. I have a very large barn that was built around...

I tried doing some really neat stemless black martini glasses, but didn't have any luck at all. Sorry

Sorry about that I actually meant to attach the file. I'm attaching it now but understand what you all are saying. Thank you all for the input and example. That makes sense that you have to use...

Hi All:
I inquired about a Notre Dame vector yesterday because I need to make a stencil. Someone at work wants to use it spray paint the emblem on a tool box. I got some good suggestions, found...

I have a co-worker that asked me to produce a Notre Dame logo stencil. Two questions: would that be copyrighted, and if not, anybody have one??

I bought black acrylic plaques from Laser bits. I did two attempts before the light bulb came on - I was doing it on the front! Once I did it on the back I got a very nice quality product and the...

I use the Epilog Rotary attachment and had the same problem. Once I used the clip that came with it, I had much better results.

I just purchased on from Laser Bits as well. It will be here Monday and I plan to do a Wedding Album for a niece.

Dan:
How do I do that? If I try to laser it without the cermark, nothing happens.

So my sister brings me a polished gun metal money clip to engrave with 3 initials - simple right? Why can't I get this to engrave. I bought the CerMark spray and followed the directions exactly but...

Hello All:
I have a quick question; I know when you engrave mirrors you have to do it from the back because the mirror would reflect the laser and it wouldn't work (I think that's why anyway). What...

I'd like to thank you all for the good advice I have received here. I took all of it with me this weekend and applied it and ended up with much better results than I have been getting. I found...

Thanks Dee - I will try that tonight.

Thank you all for the responses. I used the links and suggestions provided and this did clear up alot. One more though, Brian & Dee both suggested testing the focus. How do you do this? I...

Thanks Dee. I do figure alot of the problem is me. I'm new to Corel too and bought training videos from Epilog to get me started, but I know I have a long way to go. I'm looking for a book now...
