Very cool night light! The round pen stand looks awesome as do the others.
Someone has waaaay too much free time! :biggrin:

Thanks, guys .. not enough free time, really. I get these ideas when I'm on
the road, write them down and then bring all these index cards into the shop..
take them out .. and can't read a damned one of them. :eek:
But I've got more ideas I just can't get to yet.

Really nice work Charlie.

Have you seen those longer LED lightbars with the laser work on the Acrylic? do you do any of those????

Too many fun things to do with a logo..
The night lights are pretty neat.. and bright, too.
(for a night light..) I'm going to try edging them
with black marker to see if they throw off less
light. They're about 1/3 watt.

Lupe .. yes I've seen them, was thinking about
ordering some LED rope and making some bases.
But.. don't really have any place to market things
yet, so it would be more 'play' than serious work.
Once creative-dimensions.net is fully online, we'll
start offering promo things like that.

Seeing all this cool work makes me want a new toy for the shop. Now I just need to come up with a way to convince my better half I need a laser when she already complains because my shop is bigger than our house.

I have an old Mercury 30 watt. Slow .. very slow on acrylic.. but it works,
and it can do some nice stuff if you treat it right.

Finally got the camera to take a pic. Some days it works, some days ... eh!
This is a 'tree' for pendants, keychains, bracelets and such. Wanted to see
if my brain could put it together and actually have it come out working
right. I'll probably make a few changes, but it locks together very securely
and will lock into a base. Not sure about what to use for a base.. acrylic
would work, but it's a 12" base and that's pricey. Mirror would look cool.
Maybe just turn a wood base and print out a template to cut mortises with
a chisel for the feet to lock into. Dunno yet.
The four sides have cleats that lock into each other and two square rings
that snap around the four columns. Surprisingly stable.

and yes.. it really does look better with the paper taken off :tongue:

Heya Chip .. thanks! It does make your mind go in different
directions, wondering what you can do and how far you can
push the materials.. found a piece of smoky gray in the pile..
(middle oval is smoke, but it looks black in the pic)
See you Sunday?

OK Charlie-Now you are just showing off:tongue::biggrin: Nice work. I really wish that I had pushed my boss (LOML) harder about 5 years ago when I was thinking about whether or not I could really find a use for a Laser. DUH ME!!:redface: Is my clock finished yet? LOL.

LOL .. the clock isn't done yet. I'd tell you how much longer, but ...

You can always look around.. the Chinese imports have come way down in
price.. just make sure you can get some help if you need it

WOW (again) My soon to be 16 yr old granddaughter is a "Marilyn" addict. She would want us to buy all of the nightlights and would plug them into every outlet in the house. Nice work.

Lasers .. the most fun you can have with your pants on.

ps.. the film masking is still on the acrylic, so it looks dull. When you
peel it off, it looks nice and clear.

I have been doing some serious thinking(scarey I know), but that laser would do a whole lot better if you...........SENT IT TO MY HOUSE!!!:biggrin:
I worked at a place a few years ago that did some engraving and I tried my darndest to get the boss to buy one of the Epilog lasers to do the engraving with. That would be so much fun! Only limited by the imagination it somes. Some pretty cool stuff you are doing there.

You know .. we were just talking about what to do with the laser and
Alton said "we should send it to Randy" but we didn't have your address
so we burned it.

hey.. that Sharpie wasn't easy, you know. They have a tendency to
melt with you turn them. and they kinda squish between centers.
