I've had this thread running on another forum for a while. I think it works better for smaller projects to be updated in one place, rather than individual threads as I've done on here. Where I can find them I'll link these projects to their original thread on here. I'll be adding new things too, hopefully I'll be a bit more inspired to find the time for new projects too. BMX Based Chopper, layed back stem tube, extended rear stays, home made sissybar. Embossded valentines card Laser cut 1mm acrylic sheet for the press tool, which was used after the had been laser cut. Laser Cut MDF memory stick. Lego brick memory stick.
Jump Hour clock, laser cut MDF case. Five note Keyboard and Stylophone, 555 osscilator circuit, laser cut acrylic case. Trophies for Retro-Rides Gathering 2008. 3D CAD model of Mardave V12 RC car. IR Remote controlled 1:24 Scale '64 Impala Lowrider. Custom PICAXE Programmable integrated circuit board with IR inputs and servo output, laser cut acrylic chassis. Laser cut acrylic chassis, as an example of what might be achieved for the 4x4 in schools challenge. PICAXE PIC Scalextric lap counting and timer setup, uni project. Pop Art Hand Bag, as an example of how resistant materials can be used in textiles. Chess Set, laser cut acrylic and CNC turned bases. Another Uni project. Candle Stick, acrylic and turned aluminium. Earringings, aluminium tube with layered then laser cut acrylic inserts, laser cut acrylic case. EasyPCD's, laser cut acrylic PCD checking tool. Practical Classics, Retro Cars and PVW new producs featured. I don't make these any more :( These sort of kicked off a particularly bad period for me professionally. Bugsey & Dandy Dan's cars. Grease Set centre peice. A Lego me. A bit more to come....

Thanks Guys. Yeah it is the Kassam Stadium - RR was invited to attend the Oxford Edition show a number of years ago! Here's a couple more bit's I've had a play with recently. More lazy cutter work. I don't know why I hadn't tried this before, I've etched the paint off of an aluminium sheet, I chose an iconic monochrome image to make the vector conversion easier, but could redraw or convert pretty much any image - unique chassis plate perhaps? The finish is obviously not as tough as proper printed plates. As a trial for a student making a clock design (Current Y8 PD project), I had a go at cutting some record vinyl. It works rather well. Unfortunately I knocked it off a high shelf I'd propped it on later that week and the thing shattered!

Hi Mark,
Seen loads of your projects, and loved every one.
The creativity in some get me giggling quietly over the keyboards.
Some really cool stuff here.
Love the etching.

Cheers Grizz and Robin. I forgot to post this too, I've been selling snooker, and plain colour pool balls on the micra forum for a while, drilled and tapped to suit a K11 lever. I had been wondering how well the surface of the balls would laser etch. Once again the answer is very nicely Shift patter etched, then drawn over with board marker - the area revealed being slightly porous it has taken the ink really well. I do commisions.......

be careful cutting vinyl with a laser, its one of the few things you shouldnt use in one due to chlorine fumes. google explains more.

Nice work! With the engraved paint watch out for reflections and burning paint, I've had trouble with both... You can paint the back of clear or tinted perspex and engrave thru it then backfill with paint. You can also do multi colours if you can index it, engrave one colour, apply paint, engrave next colour paint, etc. My keyring:

For my birthday my wife arranged for me to go on a tie making workshop. So on Saturday I headed into town to the Cloth Kits store and got stuck in with choosing a fabric and warming up my stitching finger. Fabric's on offer for the course were all from Liberty, there were some great floral and paisley patterns. The product designer in me however was rather taken with a repeat print of some Marcel Breuer style chairs. Fabrics for the lining were collected from the scraps boxes. The first step was to lay out the patterns and chalk the outlines. Once the patterns were transfered onto the fabric the parts were cut out. The next step was to join the main parts of the outer fabric, the hem was run through the sewing machine and the seam pressed open. From there it was time to stitch the linings into place, these were cut under the size you might expect, so that when stitched and turned back from inside out they pulled the fabric round and set the lining fabric inside a border of the facing fabric. A few stages were missed here - it got complicated and I forgot to take pics. Here's the end of the tie with the lining completed, this was also repeated at the other end. The next step was to position the wadding in place, it was at this point I realised that I'd attached the lining on the wrong side and the seam between the two parts was on the face of the tie. Bollards!. The seam between the two parts was unpicked and sewed back together the other way round - which meant the wrong side of my fabric was on the outside, but this was better than unpicking the linings at both ends, and is really not noticeable because the design is crisp and the colours vivid. The edges were folded in and the seam down the back of the tie hand sewn together. Again no pics of this because I was still fuming from the earlier mistake. It all turned out well in the end, and I came home on Saturday afternoon very pleased with my bespoke neck wear. I'll take a pic of it on when I wear it to work tomorrow.

More lazy cutting. Last week a status from Hardcore appeared in my news feed, requesting the loan of a camber gauge, alas nobody close was able to help. It got me wondering if I would be able to make something that would do the job. I had a think and did a couple of drawings... These were then turned into plot paths for the laser cutter. Which after a run on the laser cutter and assembly with some nuts and bolts, a small barring and some araldite, gave me this... Looking forward to getting some feedback on what it's like to use.
