I normally hang out in the turning forum. Years ago I bought a cheap diode laser engraver to embellish some of my work. Laser was 1.5 watt and for what it was, it did what I wanted it to. At that time, power options were very limited unless a person wanted to spend thousands of dollars for a CO2 machine. Advances have been made and I recently upgraded to an Ortur 10 watt diode machine. An Ortur LM3. Wow, what a difference. I also upgraded my software and bought a license for lightburn. A software designed just for laser engraving. Even though it's intended for laser engravers I can see the software being useful for general design and especially for scroll saw artists as it is a powerful, intuitive drawing program as well. This is my first "from scratch" project using the new laser and lightburn to do the graphics. As a complete novice it took me maybe an hour to draw this and it takes about 2 minutes to burn. I could probably draw it in just a few minutes now. The plane cork coasters are very reasonably priced from amazon.
