The laser add to my shop is incredible. I find that I use it way more than the CNC because it allows me to personalize things in ways that even a 1/32" end mill would not do. When I did the T&J locomotive, all the number medallions and other little adds were laser generated. I love the thing. Here is a lantern I made at Christmas. 3mm baltic birch. It stands 250mm H, 165mm across. The interior is a vellum paper and I use an LED tea light as the source.
