Hi. New member. Ever read that book "Who Moved My Cheese"? I'm Sniffy (If I remember correctly), or at least am going to claim I was that smart.
Sawmill Creek has been a treasure trove of information, and I can tell everybody loves Epilog, or at least they seem to be a favorite.
Laser engraving seems to fascinate me, and project ideas just fly around all over the place. I really want a system with maximum flexibility, so I was thinking of a used Zing 24 with rotary. The -16 is more in my price range, although it's still an ouch. I don't know diddly and plan to spend the next three to five years figuring out if I'm any good or not.
Not an artist, but my neighbor and several friends are too. I can take pictures though! And, every member of my family can participate. Except for the hamster. Although, chasing the hamster around the house could make a funny picture.
Home is where the heart is right? The laser will be too. In a converted room. I've seen some mention of CNC routers as a good or better idea in some cases. I'm having trouble imagining router projects though. I think I'll take that as a hint, or at least could use a push if a router is a better idea.
Any constructive ideas? Especially about working inside the house, and gathering stuff on the cheap. I know there are other products out there, lots of great salesman and poor customer service. Looking for some good solid practical advice.
Thanks!
