    A different laser project

    I was asked to make a box from a old broken dynamite plunger for a neighbor for his father for a gift. I used a free box maker program, to make the box and some 1/4 inch plywood veneer. I mixed in some black shoe polish and added some chips and scratches to make it look old and then lasered it.

    I'll bet the recipient has a blast with it... being able to push the plunger should give them a real charge

    I'm simply blown away.

    Maybe this project will spark some fresh ideas in people... that's my theory, anyway. I'd call it the Big Bang Theory, but that seems to be taken, so the idea kinda fizzled out.

    Some people think outside the box, some just blast their way out.
    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
