Welcome to the forum. Congrats on your wedding. The bow ties are terrific. I love that you made so many variations in the patterns.

These are amazing! I wish I had thought to do something similar for my wedding back in June! Keep up the great work!

Those are awesome! I actually have a wood bow tie I bought before I got my GF. Always get comments.

Thank you! I had so much fun making and designing them. I’ve never been much of a drawer, but I’ve always loved geometry, and the Glowforge caters to these types of designs so well.

Thanks! I’m very lucky since the company I work for actually owns the machine that I’ve used. There are so many DIY wedding things that can be done with the Glowforge!! Gearing up to hopefully be a maker full time some day!!

Wooh! Pretty awesome! My father in law wears a 3d printed one. These are great! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you ! I really like the negative space and how it plays with the contrasting wood colors. It is going to be an awesome groomsmen gift.

That’s pretty awesome too ! I have friends who are wedding videographers, so I’m hoping they loop me into their clientele so I can get that side hustle going.

ryan.niemer · August 7, 2019, 5:24pm

That’s the goal here as well

Love the different designs! They’re all so unique but so fun. Great work and congrats on the wedding.

But can we make it a solid side hustle before everyone on the planet owns a glowforge?

mrinken · August 7, 2019, 6:41pm

Love em and congrats on the big day!!!

Congrats! and you’re certainly getting married in style - Glowforge style that is!

ajharris · August 7, 2019, 9:05pm

Of course! With creativity that is

ajharris · August 7, 2019, 9:06pm

Thanks! The top layer is proofgrade, the back layer is dark walnut with an inlay from recycled skateboards to add a little extra uniqueness. I love the possibilities with this thing.
