As much as I hate to say it, the store will be closed until further notice.

This is temporary, but necessary given current events. I will be posting updates here regularly and will be spending the 'downtime' making more things and adding content to the website.

I am potentially still available by appointment (at least until we are officially put on lockdown), so feel free to contact me here or via email.

Stay safe everyone.

Playing around with some glass.

Hitting glass with a CO2 laser creates this nice frosted look.

If you would like anything like this custom engraved, you can either bring in the pieces or just give me a link and I can order them, engrave them, and get back to you.

*Currently, I am limited to flat surfaces, so I can no do curved glass. There is an accessory for my machine that I may purchase eventually if there is enough demand.

Horrible day for it between the pandemic and the blizzard, but stop on by!

Another fun project I plan to do much more of:

The First Word ClockI have always loved word clocks. Actually, making one of these was a very early goal of mine…One which never really worked out until I got this laser cutter. (Bonus clock at the bottom.)

Laser Cut and Dyed WoodProbably my favorite process at the moment. Here’s how it’s done: Cut…The base image is vectored and laser cut. This works great for logos, text, and images with only a few colors. The result is a LOT of little pieces… Color…All those little pieces are sorted, separa...

VERY sorry for the long silence...Things were put on hold a while back, but currently, I am aiming to officially open on Saturday, March 14th at noon!

'Inventory' will be limited, but I invite everyone to stop by and take a look and some of the cool stuff I have made. I'll be posting some things here in the coming days, but a more complete gallery will be on https://www.makerpowered.org (which will also see a lot of work in the coming days.)

Sadly, a lot of my plans for the educational/outreach side of things are still going to be a long way off, but I still have hopes to expand in that direction eventually if it ever becomes possible.
