To complete the quote above (relevant to me lasering in general and leather in particular): “Am I to understand that you men completed your training on your own? THAT’S THE FACT JACK!”

That’s the first movie I remember watching and thinking… I’m probably not allowed to watch this. I was 10. I love Bill Murray to this day.

Captain, these are exactly the kind of go-getters I want on my Glowforge project.

Very good demonstration of the precision of the engraved lettering. Both are super crisp. Nice layout.
The score function is a bit touchy but improvements seem to be on the way. I’d suggest testing the score on a few different materials to see how it behaves. The denser the material the less worry about poking through on the corners or cutting dep.

“SIR YOU NEED TO STEP AWAY FROM THE GLOWFORGE!”
That’s the problem with having a Glowforge is that you say “Hey, I bet I can lase that too!”
So here it is at 1350lpi vector engrave on an anodized dog tag… Holy crap!
And redid the maple one with keeping the engrave order correct. I wish I did a slightly darker background behind the star, but looks super nice as well.

Having a Glowforge on the premises has made you a cold, cold man! (SO funny!)

Oh, I totally demoted my younger son, so the order goes our daughter->GlowForge->Son (and the snowblower was eying his spot)

Well he’s probably got a few months reprieve on that one, at least.

@Jules The dog tag as well as the leather would be good on the highlights along with the sign, but I don’t know if you can highlight 2 sections of the same thread.

Wait - this is a medical doctor quote… LOL 
j/k
But - beautiful job on the signs and tag. I like the cut out tag as well - could become a nice patch or keychain or plaque nameplate. And congrats to the niece!

We don’t have pediatrics at our hospital…

Maybe not. Fair warning to other New Englanders - I just swapped the snow tires off the convertible today (it’s RWD, needs snows in the winter, all seasons the rest of the year). And to make it worse I put the snow blower in the shed!
Snowpocalypse might be expected in a matter of days

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?? It is so your fault… I’m figuring I might empty the gas out of the snowblower this week… Maybe…

If @henryhbk’s son were smart, he’d keep a shovel in his room this week. Prove his worth and secure his place against the snowblower if they get snowed in. Bonus points if he thinks to clear the snow off the Glowforge exhaust.

I didn’t want to work on taxes and it is so nice out today. But I’m heading down into the forge lair in a few.

We’ve done that in the past…it makes the highlights too long with this many people contributing now.
I’m just linking one photo per thread/user combination, and then only if the topic veers significantly from the original.
Did you want me to use one of the other photos instead?

the dog tag or the leather are the more unique items, (well except the new insanely small one I just posted as another thread)
I posted that one separately. 
If you want the more special items to appear in the highlights, add them as a separate thread to the Made On a Glowforge Category.
It’s the category designed for the results of the PR & Beta users builds.

And I finally decided we couldn’t make a sign without a sign holder in case she wants it on her desk…
5 minutes in OnShape and voila… Feel free to mod to your heart’s content… This is printed in E3D PETg on my E3D BigBox with 0.2mm layers via simplify3D and Octoprint.
