And finally put some leather on my mallet...
I am going to make myself a mallet at some point. Not even sure if I really need it....but I want it. What is the leather for?
It's like a non marring side of it. In case i need to whack something without making a dent on the project...
LOL..but it's roots were in GA.
Gonna be headn up this weekend for a few days..I'll bring some back and post on the site 4 sale.
On Dr. orders to take it easy for a few days so decided to apply a finish on a tool handle that I recently finished.

Very cool Lou! How about a close up of the other end? How did you do that?
Dang, saw the first pic and thought you turned a nuclear reactor cooling stack at first
It’s a threaded brass fitting. You file the threads almost all the way down and it leave a nice pattern.
This is awesome. I need to make a few sometime soon.
Shotgun shell is a sweet accent... One could use different calibers for different tools.
Haven't been on much. Trying to keep one jump ahead of the bills and keep the lights on at the shop. Breaking down lumber and starting on a few things.
That's cool! Especially how you got that tree shape right in the middle of the turkey cutout
Only 3 watt???? I'm running 45 watts and really wish I had a 90 watt. 30 watts I might consider it depending on how tight the machine is to get really high definition etching. the full spectrum machines start around 4 grand if I recall so 500 to add that isn't bad if it's 30 watt but I'd want to know more about the software and what it'd really do for engraving to pull the trigger.
Yea..I think it's more of a toy. An expensive one at that.
Basically, the software (designing) is the same that I use cutting wood. You would just choose the laser attachment as the post processor.
Heck, I could probably find another laser module with more power. Just rig a way to mount it (the Shark one uses the router collet)
Choose the same post processor as normal, CNC wouldn't know what it's driving. There's tons of options for movement within the tap file design.
Power it from the start buss for the router...oh just dang you!
