Show us your Glowforge space!

Is that a real cat? Looks like one of those 2D black cutout cardboard things.

I see your supervisor checking out the vent hose accommodations. We thought our cat had no interest in the Glowforge until one day I found him casually lounging on top of it.

That is Kuroneko. He is my 13 yo North American Miniature Sabertooth Panther. Or in internet parlance, a vampire kitty.
Taking pictures of him is a challenge. I either get a black spot or a black spot with two glowing spots. LOL

Here is an older pic but it will go in front of the window with a proper desk

put together a 4x8 workbench today. I’ll start to finish it tomorrow. I think just a good sanding of the top and a quick clear coat or two

Nice cleanup from the earlier post.

That workbench looks great! I really need to clean up my garage and have tables like that in it. Well done!

I sure envy the shelf space under your desk. That is going to come in so handy. My shop started off nice and clean like that, but it aint like that now. :grin:

Thank you! I built it myself using wood from Lowes. I initially wanted to reclaim pallet wood to build it and then realized how much work that was and decided to buy something premade for this. And the big B was custom made by a local friend of mine. It’s my favorite thing in the office at the moment… but it will be eclipsed soon by another sweet piece of tech…

It looks like pine(from the knot and grain patterns) that has been stained and I’m still in awe about it. I’m trying to see how many 2x6’s it would take to do my living room wall…alas it’s an apartment and I have a feeling that the owners might not appreciate it as much as I do.

And a glowforge will make even more of a statement!

Here is the product I used. It comes in 3 colors - gray, cedar and white - which I mixed for the wall using the gray as the dominant one. The pieces are tongue and groove, so they were easy to put together. I did the wall by myself in one day.

I’ve been working on the outside for the past six months. Time to shift focus.

I see you are using the same top and legs that are above in my first picture. :slight_smile:

How is the stability when the Glowforge is working? Does the table sway at all?

I most definetly have a space prepared! Welcome to my studio space (and soon to be streaming space). I don’t let many people in here but Im happy to share this with our community. I put in for the Pro unit and it will get that whole desk in the back.
