Happy to report that we received our email yesterday. We purchased on 9/26, 2015 at 2:35 pm. It was a basic unit.
We primarily bought the glow forge to help my wife’s business (Lucy Loves Leather). She creates leather fantasy masks and other wearable art such as bracers, bracelets, and earrings and sells them world wide. At the very least we believed that buying a laser would save her hand that tires from cutting the leather by hand. Any basic laser cutter would do this. We are excited to get the glow forge and put it into the workflow and see what other type of business ventures it will open up for us.
Yes, I am impressed by her on a daily basis! That indeed is her Etsy Shop! I dabble a little bit (I do the bracers and eye patches that are occasionally found in her shop). Together we run a video production company as well!
Thanks everyone for the kind remarks! I’m super excited about the Glowforge, and it works great on leather. We’re working on converting my templates into CSV files, which has been a bit of a learning curve! Also on the road for work, so not a lot of time at home to play with designs.
The Glowforge helped me get a bunch of orders done in record time, with just a very basic layout! Can’t wait to optimize it.
