Not a troll. Nick is a popular designer in Glowforge-oriented social media groups. He also has several designs in the Glowforge Catalog and has made video content for the company.

Nick is great but but you’ll find the real GOAT on Todd’s channel.

See, aren’t vague references infuriating?!

Sorry, i was laughing so hard. I remember it meant something good, but my mental image of a goat pumping out complicated designs with a braid in the billy goat beard wearing little glasses at the tip of its nose had me rolling. When i calmed down a bit, i googled it. I really shouldn’t be here before coffee.

So I asked midjourney to make “a goat using a laser cutting machine”… and man, that goat has skills:

I mean he seems kind of stuck on backlit panels, but if that’s what sells on Goetsy, then so be it.

I always read these like this:

“… is a goat” = Bad. Calling someone an annoying farm animal or referring to a “scape-goat”

“… is the GOAT” = Great. Meaning the Greatest Of All Time (G.O.A.T).

Thanks!

I think it’s triple funny for me because yesterday i was attempting to draw a goat. No backlit stuff though…if that’s what sells, i should consider it…maybe when my goat stops looking like a blob with a beard…:rofl::rofl:

While this is a really random post with no context, Nick is an awesome designer. I love the work he’s done with the new paper/plastic patternply material from Smokey Hills. I think I’ve got some of that stuff in my stash somewhere (unprinted), but I can’t for the life of me remember what it’s called.

Thanks. I actually meant that I couldn’t remember what the base material is called. :slight_smile: I am pretty sure I have some of it from long before lasering became a home hobby.
