Thanks Mike...and Hi Keith... I'm Blushing... I'm just sorting out all my stock, and doing a big sell off ..ha.. Probably including the laser.. From time to time I will poke my nose in and comment...
Hello Folks...Been away for a long time, just trying to get caught up a bit. I have been using PhotoGrav for several years, and it works well. The main secret to a good engraving on wood or glass, is...
Home Depot used to have a 'sample' box of oak flooring that customers could dig into.. I would pick up a piece (or ten) and play around with them.. That Oak seems to engrave nicely

Never had a lot of luck with Bamboo.. It's not a wood, but technically a grass and usually inconsistent densities.. Alder or Cherry are my faves, Maple is OK, but I usually have to darken it.. At...
I love the ones that simply say we want to order your product (????) Could you please send us your catalogue
Usually from the UAE.. I just delete them.. not worth the time to be bothered with them...
I usually just tell the customer to turn off compression, and resend me the file. Illustrator compresses files by default.
I've sent them 2 emails now for stone and shipping quotes and nothing! For the first time in several years they were not even acknowledged? Is there anyone else that handles a similar product?
Ahh Gary, as someone up the thread said, the next ten will only take four I added the laser to my business 12 years ago, and been in business since 1989. The laser and the internet have kept me...
My TT is still doing fine after 12 years. I just replaced a Y motor. It was still engraving fine, but vibrated when moving quickly or quick vector cutting. So far in the 12 hard working years, I've...
I get nice white on black acrylic, if you want it whiter wipe on some white enamel or acrylic paint. I use it generally for photos on burial urns. Use the same setting you would use for a photo on...
My wife turned on her laptop one morning, and behold it had been upgraded to win10 with the option of going back to win7 . Now it would make no difference to her, she only uses Facebook and the...
It looked up on my win7pro for several days, I kept hitting the X and eventually it took the hint and it no longer shows up
Make sure the bitmap your are engraving from is a monochrome .tif or .bmp, not a 8 or 24 bit file like a .jpg or all the work you have done to create the engraving file will be lost. Do all your...
I find if you mask the granite, and use a rattle can lacquer on the edges, it looks almost as good as polished. I used to use a lot of LS granite, but with the Canadian buck in the basement again,...
Sorry it took so long to get back you, busy,busy,busy... I do mostly photographs on glass, it's my speciality, and I have never seen a piece of sandblasted glass that can even come close to the...
The two big red flags in that email are: he identified him self as "Mr. (Whatever)" no one does that. Also the query about the types of credit cards you accept. Either of those flags gets the email...
The only piece of glass that has ever caused me any problem was a very thin ridel(sp)? Wine glass that a customer wanted a photograph on. The photo came out perfect, but after I gave it a light wipe,...
I've done a number of props for television and movies. But the one that surprised me the most was a piece of cherry wood engraved with the names of a bunch of carollon bell ringers. Never thought...
Leather is one of those materials like real marble that do not need any fancy conversion or dithering software like photograv. The normal photo mode on most lasers will do great photos. You can start...
I have been using ordinary methylhydrate from the local hardware store to thin Lm6000 scavenged from spray cans and overspray for years now, with no problems, and it works fine. More expensive purer...
I block all of those New top level domains. I.e. .top,.xyz,.download,. Etc. There must be a hundred of them an all I have ever got from any of them is spam
In my experience, glass flaking is usually caused by too much power. Particularly when using a bold heavy font. Throttle it back a bit, and or speed it up. Give it a good coat of thick heavy dish...
A White VW Rabbit with the Plate IM-LATE
But one of the most creative is from a local around here that got it past the plate issuers 3MTA3 You will have to 'reflect' on this one.
