Hello everyone, it's been a while since I have posted anything but it has been very busy using the Epilog Helix we bought in late 2005. Since then we have been having lots of fun trying many different materials and techniques (most of which I have read about here at SMC-thanks). It's been a great few months. Here are a few pics of some of the things we have been working on. Not sure what order these pics will post but you will have no problem determining which one is which.
There is the Hotel Room Sign made from dark Corian. Of all the materials I have worked with Corian is hands-down the most beautiful both from a cutting/routing and laser engraving point of view-thanks Keith O. for putting me on to such a great material.
Another picture is of some plaques that we recently created using local birch obtained from a sawmill just down the road from here. We just finished 35 of these plus 120 custom plastic bag tags as part of a sponsorship we did for a major Atlantic Canada Hockey Tournament. I am including a close-up of the plaque as well to show the clarity of the detail by the laser-it's unbelievable. We received so many compliments on these. I find there's no better feeling than creating something so beautiful from scratch using local materials with our own hands.
Finally there is one pic showing laser lites being used on the back of medals. Since many customers are looking for engraving on the back of medals and we don't have a rotary engraver I found this to be an even better and faster way to place the information on the back of the medals. To have such detail customers seem to be willing to pay a little more.
Sorry for so long of a post but I hope others are as inspired as I was by the information on this site. After almost two years following this site plus reading and reseaching I finally took the plunge to buy a laser and start a business. Since then I have had many gratifying moments and I want to pass along a sincere thanks to everyone on this site who has contributed-your discussions and support helped in making this a reality. Hope you enjoy the pics. In the near future I hope to share more both here and on my website.
Take care.
