A few we're trying out / thinking about

Important lesson I learned today:

Painting Before Coffee = Good.
Painting After Coffee = Bad.

Looks like you are having fun with your new toys:rolleyes::biggrin:
Can it cut ( or pierce ) s/steel if you have the right bits? I borrowed a plasma cutter and if I can master it, then I might build a cnc table. (The plasma cutter would be one of the interchangeable heads on the Z axis)
All I need to do is win the lottery:rolleyes:

Did you guys rob a bank or something? Did you build or buy the machine?

How big is the market for Charlie blanks???:tongue:

Love your experiments! Keep 'em comin'.:)

Chris,
Dawn got a "sneak preview" of that design last night.

You'll be happy to know Charlie (One-eyed lazer wizard as he's known to friends) has received Dawn's order and confirmed delivery of five of EACH of EVERY name (Male and female) in English!!! He has PROMISED delivery by the WEEKEND!!!!!

Charlie really IS an AMAZING guy!!!

As soon as we receive those, we plan to order every name for dogs, cats, horses and domestic llamas!!!!

Suggestions welcome!!

(Always trying to HELP, Charlie!!)

Skip .. no it won't touch steel. Won't touch most metals, actually. It will do OK
on anodized aluminum (as you've seen) but the best I can do is use a ceramic
marker on metals. It won't cut that much, perhaps 1/4" wood or plastic.

Works like a plotter, except instead of moving the pen around, it moves a head
that contains a mirror to direct the laser beam. Then the beam burns away the
material that is under it

Okay, I have been really liking everything you've posted. But now, you have gone and done it. You have finally posted something I want really bad. When will the USMC and POW blanks be available and where can I get them?

Looking good Charlie. We're going to have to talk. I might be in need of some custom Sheriff's Dept. sierra blanks similar to that army blank. I'll wait until your not so busy. Nice work!

Okay, okay. After a quick check at MapQuest, I figure with the way I drive, if I were to leave right after work on Friday, and drive straight through, I can be at your front door well before lunch on Saturday!!!

I'm sure we can fit in custom work.. but first we've got to get Exotics stocked up.
I'm even starting to look at a few of my 'work pens' and wondering if I can
strip them for the tubes..

Those are sweet! Really, really like the "Charlie" blank, but it could use some improvement.

It should read "Brian".:rolleyes::biggrin:

you just keep heading out Rt 80 .. or course, it takes three weeks just
to get through Pennsylvania.. (I think it's one massive repeating loop..
you pass the same farmhouse about 14 times)

What .. and have a dancing leprechaun for a dentist? :eek:

I"LL PAY! I'LL PAY!!


Hey, I treat my inmate patients great! Just today, after we took out a wisdom tooth, we reminded the inmate to sleep on his stomach in case the Tooth Fairy visits.

Love your blanks, Charlie!! Think you could do some with cooks and palm trees?

I thought you told me that you were working on trying to make your
Leprechaun dance...:confused:


Charlie WOULD do that, but it's like pulling teeth!!!

(Only a bona-fide, seasoned, well-practiced dentist SHOULD attempt such dangerous activities, in his dress pinks)
