The slate coasters are a lot of fun. Make them for your friends with their favorite sports ball team logo on them, they'll be impressed!

Moved to HD white tiles tonight. Much cheaper than slate and pretty damn nice when finished.  
Need to build a jig to make sure I can center images.

Link to raw materials?  

Also, jig = 1/8" plywood with a cutout of the shape with known coordinates of one corner.  Requires a little math, but generally works.

$.11 cent 4.25x4.25 wall tiles from HD, sprayed with white paint for the Titanium Dioxide and engrave and then clean off the paint in a bowl of thinner. 
 

Sold 136 of these yesterday to neighbors at $32/set of four or $10 each. $15 in tiles, $6 in paint and then the design work.

Some day I will actually get back to some woodworking, but tonight playing with Stainless Steel.

I know it is a long shot, but is anyone else going to the Handworks show https://handworks.co this weekend in Iowa?

Think I will drive out and check out all the toys and try to see the keynote.

I know that Doug would like to see Roy Underhill.

[VPI]

He has been hanging around all day. I got a signed poster from him for the shop. 

Also got Schwarz to sign an Anarchist’s Toolbox hardcover for me. 
 

Some pics.

Some glamour shots of the bench candy I brought home from Handworks.

Bench Candy is Steve's stripper name.

Actually it's Candy Bench, but close enough.

Playing with focus to get some decent cards for the IG channel. Will probably also generate a QR code for contact details on the back.

Fancy! 

[swt61]

That was my drag name.

Going to have the new Thunder laser paid off by the time it gets here selling coasters. 
 

[Voltron]

You're quite the ontapanure!

 

[n_maher]

You must be charging a pretty penny to pay off a $7k laser with slate coasters, Jeff.

Slapped together a console for a friends business.

@naamanf That's really lovely -----^

[Voltron]

That's some real nice slapping! What goes in the thin drawers?

Customer paperwork/artwork.  They are a two man web/design/marketing company.

Lovely anesthetics as well as incredible workmanship!

[VPI]

Actually made something with wood today, though it is about the simplest project ever.
