Matt,
Thanks that review really helps a lot with my decision.

Has anyone replaced their tube on an EPILOG Mini 24, 45 watt with the EPILOG 50 watt tube? My tube is finally going and trying to figure out how much work to look forward to as well as deciding if...
Dave,
I've taken my Epilog Mini 45 watt to a few craft shows. It does draw a crowd :-) I place mine on a wooden box with casters so it can be moved around once I get it stacked. The box also...
Don, I pursued getting an MLB license for Orioles items, NFL follows something of a similar nature. Contacted MLB who politely provided me approx 40 pages of legal documents to sign for them to...
I've used wooden goft tees inverted and glued to 1/8 plywood. Since the tees are wood, no problem with laser hitting. Use pegboard and feed them through in the pattern you like. Apply glue to the...
Erich,
Thanks for sharing, really like the way the blade engraving drifts onto the handle. What settings did you use to engrave the handle?

I've had similar problems and one was traced back to using dish soap to coat the piece as recommended. The soap got on the rollers and caused the slippage. It was hard to get off so I switched to...
Have you thought about switching to a water based paint? I have a small enclosed shop and took a while to get used to, but once I got the process down it looks very nice...and no explosion!
It almost appears as if the DPI increased from the top to the bottom. Looks like 300 DPI on top and 400/600 DPI on the bottom. Looks like more pixels in the lower half vice a power issue.
JD, I think I visited that site a few years back when I first got interested in turning pens. I may have to check it out again, thanks.
Dennis, yes the checkering was done on a laser engraver. Had to make several practice runs to get both sides to equal out, but happy with the results.
Been trying for a while to come up with something unique for an overunder shotgun kit I've had. This is what I came up with. Deer antler (sheds) cap and black walnut body. The walnut body has an...
Rich,
Is the fill turned off? I sometimes have problems when I import the file and the program interprets the blank space as white fill. Once I turn off the fill it normally fixes the issues...
Mike,
The individual worked in the USMC trademark and licensing office. The hobbyist license cost $25.00 but is predicated on the income you derive from the products. While speaking with the...
Martin,
I was recently approached (OK, told to stop) selling USMC marked items until I obtained a hobbyist license. I also talked to a few others about this topic and it seems as though the...
Devin,
I have a full time job and do some of these things as a hobby/business. A great resource we have available is the small business administration that has a program that will lay out things...
JD,
Nice, just when you think you've seen it all :-)
Brian,
I'd like to make more, but don't want to get too visible as concerns about copyright start to creep up :-(
Thanks, never heard of that one before...will give it a try.
[QUOTE=Joe Hillmann;2087003]I use M5T from mercury adhesives, it is sold in hobby shops. On joints that aren't a perfect fit I also use insta-set which is an accelerator that drys the glue instantly....
Josh,
I have the buffing wheels, never thought about running it through on that...I'll give it a try and see what happens.
Thanks all for the tips, I'm going to make a couple more as I like...
Penn State Industries kit
Got a few of these pen kits and wanted something for the motorhead friend down the street...he loves it!!!! Still have difficulty getting the very fine scratches out of acrylic. Used micro mesh and...
Joe,
Can you explain to me how you glued your joints? I've done a few projects with BoxIT and the only problem I'm having is getting the joints to hold together. I've used both Titebond and...
