I just ordered about $1000 in supplies for my laser and my workshop. Now I get to wait another week for it all to arrive, then hopefully I'll be torching everything before the end of the month.

:D

Jay -
Not sure what you mean by "torching everything"? - but, that doesn't sound like a good thing. Other thing I'll comment on: your spending $1,000 on what? - engraving inventory? - keeping in mind, there is no return on investment with idle inventory. What's wonderful 'bout this business is - key suppliers don't demand a minimum purchase - meaning: you don't have to over-invest in inventory - you can keep just enough on hand to meet supply 'n demand. When big jobs come 'long, you can order expressly for the purpose. Perhaps I'm missing something here - but, well ... just my immediate thoughts. Good luck with whatever you're working on.

Nah I was just getting stuff to set up my workshop.

Blower, exhaust, supplies, lighting, art supplies, cleaning supplies, etc.

Haven't even touched materials yet. Doing that this week. :)
