laser and woodworking

[Michael Simpson Virgina]

I recently got back into woodworking with a vengence. I am honing my skills and sticking with fine wood woodworking projects. I modified a bushing and use my laser to create cut outs in 1/8 hardboard and use them with my Festool 1400 router to do cutouts and inlays.

I can even use the laser to cut out exotic wood and insert them in the inlays.


Here is PC case I created. The fand cutout was done with one of the templates. The internal PC mount was also done with the laser.

I also use the laser to cut out drilling templates.

Looks great. What kind of wood did you use on this project?

Here is the thing its not wood. The top and bottom is made out of 1/2 MDF and the base is made out of 3/4 particle board.

It was ment to be a prototype for one made out of exotic wood. I decided to try some milk paint and glaze to see how it would finish. I turned out so good that its now my shop computer

Im still working on prototype 2
