I spent another night running the laser non stop. The water in my tank definitely gets warm not really to the point of overheating but enough for me to question if I should carry on running it. I don't regularly use it this much so there is no point investing in a cool bot or some other chiller, instead I just put the ice packs in the freezer last night and when the tank got warm this evening I dropped them in the water. Simples. So what have I been cutting, 40 trigger mechanisms, 15 useless machines and 10 arcs, nothing new but keeping me very busy this week. (pics below)

I wish I could say the vinyl was laser cut but I just didn't have the time. I went to visit my friend Chris at the XLC  and he cut this out on the vinyl cutter and pressed it with more appropriate tools. Wish I'd taken my camera for the process but I'm sure they'll be a chance to do it again in the future.

Captive nuts can also be added to make a really secure joint 262/276

The box joint can be biased by making the tabs different sizes. 261/275

A talented friend of mine drew this and posted it to facebook recently. It makes a really nice wood cut so I put it through the laser for him, very pleased with the end result. 260/275
