I’ve never posted anything before but I’ve just so happy with how this turned out I have to share it with everyone. A customer was looking at my keychains and said she’d never seen her name anywhere. No wonder: her name is Eugenia. I told her I could make one and have it the next day. She picked out the retro motel design and I went to work. I was looking and it and regretting the unused back side and wondered what would happen if I just flipped it over and engraved it again. Wonder of wonders, here’s how it turned out. This was only my second attempt, so if anyone else wants to try, just make sure your design is absolutely horizontal.

I love the “I can do that” aspect of the Glowforge to make custom products.

This was an incredibly detailed and well-written tutorial. I’m pretty sure that’s where I learned the procedure that I use…and actually on a fairly regular basis. I’ve never yet had it fail.
