Hi guys,
I've been lurking for a long time and this is my introduction post.
My profile says I joined a year ago and I was lurking a year or two before that.
Your message board is so helpful that I can frequently find the answers to my questions without even asking.
I feel like I know some of you I have read so much.
I have recently bought a used Epilog Legend 24TT.
I have hooked up air assist with an airbrush compressor and drilled and chiseled a 4" hole through my garage brick wall for the exhaust. I am working on hard-wiring the ethernet connection.
I plan on making custom or personalized hobby supplies.
The bulk of the work will be acrylic 1/8mm, both cutting and engraving.
Of course now that I have a laser me and the spouse have found all sorts of things to experiment on.
I'm interested in making notebook covers, license plates, puzzles, dinosaurs, toys, etc...
As a side note I am using a Macintosh OS X computer. I am using VirtualBox (free) to emulate a Windows XP machine. I use Corel Draw and print from this program. It is like running a whole different computer in a separate app. I know I searched lots of threads about how to make a Macintosh work with Epilog and this is how I've made it work.
I just thought I would introduce myself so if you see me pop up here and there you have an idea of who I am.
I am also a neanderthal woodworker so you may see me in that forum as well.
James
