I just wanted to say thanks to everyone here who has helped me get setup, with special thanks to Gary Sheriff at Trotec who has bent over backwards to get me up and running.
As of about two weeks ago, I finally got everything setup and have been able to start actually using my laser. I just wanted to post a couple of my first projects, which are as much practice as actual products.
The first is a Business folder I made for myself and was bought for a couple dollars at a dollar store, but the fake leather lasered particularly well.

The 2nd is a cutting board with engraved vegetables and a personal message in the corner. This test run was for me, but I made another right after for my sisters wedding this weekend that says "Property of the Williams Kitchen"

In a few weeks I will start sending out some business cards to the local shops to get my name out, but I have already started getting business from all over. Also working on a website and you tube channel to help generate business. Hopefully I am on my way to a nice little side gig.
