So my middle child decided to up and move with me out of no where. So today she brings papers from school and her band teacher sends home a packet. As I’m reading I see instrument cases must have a name tag. To which I say sounds great time to bust out my glowforge!! I make a couple designs to which my child decides on one she likes. I upload it and let her press the button as she watches how it comes out. I made a leather strap but I have to redesign it (make it longer). I have to admit i had to make the hole in the name tag bigger so i popped out the drill to make it bigger but other then that flawless and happy with the result. So forge on people and I will be showing my child how to forge of course with parental supervision. She is a really great drawer so i cant wait to trace her drawings and make them into projects later on.

Nice! Hope your daughter is also inspired to become a maker!
Those look great! I am afraid they’re so neat looking that you might start a my-case-has-a-better-tag-than-your-case situation. (Granted, we all already know who has won). 
It will be great to see some of your daughter’s designs traced then engraved. I hope there is an opportunity to share once a few have been completed.

Wonderful tag and sure to be in demand once the rest of the band see’s it!
