He might be interested in some non-race inspired roads like the Blue Ridge Parkway, Skyline Drive, Shenandoah, Tail of the Dragon, Gaspe Penninsula, Pacific Coast Highway, etc. Those are exceptional roads for non-race riders.

He would certainly agree with that! Luckily we live a few stone throws away from Watkins Glen and this time of year most Fridays you can go and drive on the track (with car). That usually does the trick (for awhile).

So did you cut the angle with the laser or by hand? I wasnât sure
Sorry, I meant to explain that better. I glued up the two boxes (inside Maple and outside Walnut) completely enclosed and then cut the diagonals with my bandsaw. The outside box was cut lower to create the lip for the cover. After that I glued the maple box inside the walnut box and the same with the new cover pieces. It was pretty straight forward to do it that way. I guess you could precut the pieces with the laser but gluing up the solid boxes is pretty easy and everything automatically aligns. I hope that makes sense.
No need to apologize! Thatâs what I thought you meant when you said you cut the diagonal, but want to double check! Either way, looks amazing and I love the idea of the lined box like that. Well done.

Looks awesome! Coaster holders is always an interesting proposition. What I like about your choice is that the storage is a beautiful case and protective packaging. It could hide in a set of books until needed.
Great design.

Thank you for the link, going to go there because I have an idea of how I am going to use them. Do you remember what settings you used?
My son just bought a car to take out on the track and raceâŚif he ends up going to multiple tracks, I may have to borrow your idea âŚthankfully he hasnât told his mother (me) that he is racing his motorcycleâŚI can handle the thought of a car better than a motorcycle on a track.

Forum guidelines prevent discussion of settings for non-Proofgrade materials, except in the âBeyond the manualâ forum.
If you would like information on operation beyond what is covered by the manual, you may discuss it in the âBeyond the Manualâ section, and only in that section. Note that that section of the forum may contain information that is incorrect and may violate your warranty, damage your Glowforge, and cause injury or death. That is the only place for discussion of topics like:
- Manual settings for materials
- Modifying your Glowforge unit
- Third party add-ons
whoops! Sorry.
They call it the âfriendly neighborhood lawyerâ⌠
No Problem. If I knew what I used I would have PM messaged you. I donât really remember and I am a terrible note taker. Iâm sure I got the setting from the forum. Just do a search for âGlass Coasterâ or just âGlassâ in the beyond the manual category. One tip I do have and didnât quite know how to do it at first is to smear straight dishwashing liquid on the piece before lasering and rinse it off afterward to prevent cracking.

I have started making my own spice jars and the dish soap worked good on the narrower jars but cracked the slightly wider jar and now trying to figure out why.
Thanks for the link to the coasterâŚI put a 30 day notice in case it dips in price.

do you sand the tabs to not have the burned look.

Yes and I intentially made them longer than they normally would be so a had some material to sand down and not remove any thickness.
