When I was little, my old man and I would tinker in the garage rebuilding car and motorcycle engines. I fell in love with the all the drawings in the shop and service manuals and I suppose that I have not grown up 30 years later. Been playing around with various printed designs on t-shirts, sublimation printing etc. and have was really blown away with what a Glowforge could do. I purchased one last week and after letting my 13 year play with it for a few days, making magic things… I starting taking some of my old school designs and making a little magic of my own. Thanks Glowforge for making me feel like a kid again… Here is my first print…
Amazing first project. The engravings turned out great!

Exactly! I had forgotten that feeling. At 64, it had been missing for a very long time. Welcome to the community, which by the way is the best “accessory” for your glowforge.
If you don’t know how to do it, somebody here does!

Welcome. Nice project. I suspect your 13 year old will grow up with fond memories of tinkering with the Glowforge and their young at heart dad.
