Step 4: Lasering!

I used the Epilog laser cutter at the Instructables Lab to turn a big sheet of 0.2" plywood into a big sheet of 0.2" plywood with lots of oddly-shaped holes in it. I cannot stress just how much easier life is when you have a finely tuned laser that can cut through wood.

LOL at the caption, imagine what a nightmare this would be to cut by hand.

Keep an eye on our contests - I'm sure we'll be giving a laser cutter away again at some point...

yeah the did a while ago but so many entered that already had one or had access to one and were able to do far more advance things that drew in more attention

Kind of like this bowl as an entry in the shop bot challenge! :P

Penfold is an Instructables' resident.  As such, he can enter any Contest, but  he cannot win a prize. This is true for all Instructables employees.

Projects like this raise the proverbial bar... and they deserve a wide audience. 

They are intended to educate, encourage and motivate... not to mention mind-boggle simple folks like me! ;-)

Ohhhhh....... I didn't realize he was an employee of Instructables. But yes, this certainly does do all that you mentioned. Well done good Sir!
