Well now, thatā€™s a significant accomplishment. Congrats to you both, and I hope the other half is a Glowforge fan as well!

Heh, I donā€™t think she will be a fan of how big it is, or the potential smells coming out if it. Iā€™m sure she will like all the things I make for her with it.

Itā€™s great to see this topic still going on. Most of you have some serious accomplishments!

I have to add some more to my list. It feels like Iā€™m never getting to own a glowforgeā€¦

  • My daughter was born
  • Went to Japan (and came back!)
  • Started remodeling another apartment
  • Finalized designs to completely demolish and rebuild the farmhouse

With a bit of luck the house will still be there before I finally get my forge but Iā€™m not counting on it. On the upside I do get to cancel the airfilter. Since the forge wonā€™t be living in a city apartment anymore but instead in my new garage/ workshop.

Pretty exciting stuff going on for me. I have filed a trademark registration for the name I use for my retail products, begun the paperwork to convert my sole proprietorship to an LLC, added a new wholesale customer with 4 more promising leads, just ordered a few hundred screen printed t-shirts including a brand new design, and just booked an order that makes 2017 already my third best year.

Iā€™m pretty pumped up right now and had to share. Now Iā€™m starting to wonder if Iā€™m pumped up by all of this or if those 2 cups of tea I had earlier werenā€™t really decaffeinated after all.

No, you have a right to be pumped up by this! Very exciting stuff! When you work for yourself you donā€™t get those team-building ra-ras and achievement awards and all that incentive stuff that working for a large company can bring you. Iā€™d say that list of accomplishments is definitely worthy of an achievement award! Congratulations!

Donā€™t you hate it when that happens? Chuckle!

Seriously, congratulations, it sounds like youā€™re kickinā€™ ass and takinā€™ names! :wink:

Just because A is true does not mean B isnā€™t also true.

Whoooaaa there. You have to be careful. If you get too pumped up someone could sue you claiming your iconic postcard is false advertising.

Seriously, that sounds wonderful.

Well, itā€™s all relative. While I show slightly more emotion than @rpegg (Make Something: First Tests), itā€™s a rare day when people question the validity of that postcard.
