Happy Friday! Happy to share this cool project that my boyfriend Kyle made at last night’s Laser Thursday because it’s kind of a neat story… Kyle has been coming to Laser Thursday on and off for about 1.5 years (the amount of time I’ve worked here at Glowforge). Back in the day when I started (spring 2015), the Forges weren’t nearly as intuitive to use and we didn’t have a lot of ready-made designs (Kyle currently works in blood donation nonprofits and is a hobbyist filmmaker - so he’s awesome, but like me has no laser or design experience). So, we’d make end up making really basic things like coasters most nights.
Well, things have changed a LOT, and his increasing ability to crank out more and more advanced projects each week is pretty concrete evidence of that. Behold! A spinning desktop tool holder so that Kyle can have an organized desk AND brag about his girlfriend’s awesome job.
Very nice! That could come in super handy for keeping track of pens on the overloaded desk! (Six hundred pens on the desk and i can never find one when I need to write a check.)
…and don’t forget, in addition…a couple that actually still WORK! Usually, when there are that many pens, 98% of them don’t work, anyway. [quote=“Jules, post:6, topic:3255”]

Great story! It shows how we all (except maybe the current experts) will grow into our Glowforges. On a side note, now I’m wondering if I’m gonna have to cover my lid camera with black tape so the bad hackers don’t use it to get photos of my room and contents! (Kidding! I plan to keep the lid closed 99.9999% of the time. Also planning to keep my clothes on while using the Glowforge!)
