At least a couple of hours a day on the deck.

Even I have the lifetime and I used the software once and never looked at it again.

Worked all morning on a new pocket knife project to throw up on Instagram, only to find out the sensors think I did not have enough 12 year old girls in their underwear dancing on my video so it is not appropriate for sharing. 1c67f6f77a8d4e2793ff3f504a630748.mp4

Did some nearly wood work this weekend. Had to build a closet organizer out of melamine. Found that the builders of my house did not have a square. As I needed to shave .5 inches from front to back to get it to slide onto the shelf between the ceiling and closet rod. Also working on getting good anneal on stainless steel so I made some knives and bar keys, more customyish.

I guess I need to get myself an Al, as I imagine that cut being done here at Half-Assed Woodworks would result in a squiggly line at the ridge at least once or twice.

So how did you do the tops of the rails some kind of Moulder, huge router bit or a crazy cut on a table saw?

Yes. It is possible in a number of ways. Lightburn does it pretty well and Illustrator does it even more exacterer.

Loving the Fragout Firearms designs for practice on cheap shit before moving to expensive shit. 8b866ad307504ad4864f4429e4303b83.mp4

Working on some deeper engraving on an Amazon Package Opener.

Emergency engrave before Kasia left for the hair salon, where many beers are drank. I am digging these credit card beer openers.

I am strictly engraving. Do not have the equipment or insurance coverage to make substantial cuts in a support frame. Today, making Grogu business cards and beer openers. 0c7042b342874a329cb95d4ba5cbec22.mp4

Transferred my FFL so that I can start engraving pew-pews and got the Fiber laser set up for testing. 292e16a70a0f46cc91f3f1f0b770ff27.mp4

I would recommend well placed C4 charges, safer all around and far more interesting. 🙂

Working on jigs today. 3c5c4d7c5cb74441904e695f7ffd475f.mp4

Cut a basic card stock jig on the laser to engrave some two sided business cards. 96b6a50a4eef43128512a1eb8c664cf8.mp4

I have the IQ360 for hats. Also working on 3D images for the back of Aluminum business cards. Not bad on the RF laser but probably better when the Fiber gets here. Still need to actually build that jig since I never set up the camera in the laser.

Working on a new logo for some hats made with the Lonestar Adhesives copper acrylic patches to practice for the 50 I need to make for Phase Three Brewing.

HC’ish Ornaments.

Started the process of naming all of my equipment after Marvel characters. Still have the Cyclops graphic for the Fiber laser that is still in bound.

All Christmas all week here as the orders are piling up.
