A book safe. The idea’s simple: cut a hole in the middle of the pages to turn a book into a secret storage box.
As a new and stupid laser owner, I decided to try and see if I could make one of these with my Glowforge. I could not. In my few attempts, I alternately cut only a few pages that immediately began blowing around in the path of the laser beam during the cut, or cut deep enough for the now-defocused beam to set the book on fire.

Besides the fire issue, I’m wondering if you can add a weight to the pages to keep them from blowing around, like one of those flat washers or derby car weights.

If it’s something you’re interested in doing, you can always create a fake record using black acrylic.

That is what a laser looks like if you cut PVC/vinyl and chloride gas releases. It’s not pretty. We’ve had 1 person who realized what they’d done and managed to hand wash every component in the machine with a baking soda mix and fix their machine. 1…far more have gone to the recycling bin.
