First Post Here

Made on a Glowforge

I’ve had my GF since April, but this is my first time posting in the community. I just wanted to hop on and say a big THANK YOU to those that share what you’re making, your free designs, the settings you used, and other input. It helped me learn SO MUCH! I will forever be grateful for this community! These are just a few items I’ve made in the last few months…

This was the first project I did on my own. It’s a 4-layer ornament. Each print I do is a learning experience, but this one was a BIG learning experience for me!

In June my parents celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary so I made them a sign to hang in their home

I love perpetual calendars, but wanted to make something different from the crescent moon shape so I started with animals. I have plans to do more designs like these!

Lastly, I love hiking and wanted to make another layered ornament in that theme and I’m really happy with how this one turned out!

I love the hiking ornament and your choice of woods for all of the projects. I agree that the forum is a great source of knowledge and support. I hope you will add more photos of your projects as you make them.

I like the two tones on the frog calendar. Is that two type of wood or two levels of engrave?

Your projects just blow me away! You have got to be a graphic designer, the quality of the design is really special.

And I would like to thank YOU for actually reading all that forum stuff! I wish more folks would do that.
