Inspired by excellent mini-fireplaces created by @deirdrebeth, @cynd11, @pubultrastar and others here in the forum and the catalog, I decided to challenge myself to create a mashup that incorporated the best ideas from fellow members and a few of my own.
Since I was in a bit of a hurry, I didn´t have time for long engrave times or to hand paint the bricks, so I resorted to this trick that worked well for me:
I ligthly scored the outline of the fireplace on MDF.
took a photo of a brick wall, scaled and printed HQ on photo paper
carefully glued it into place on the outline, aligned with the the contour of the bricks
Designed for a snug fit and numbered the matching parts to facilitate assembly, disassembly for flat storage and re-assembly the next season. I designed the phone cradle wide enough for phones with bulky cases and included a small wedge to fit the phone snug against the fireplace for phones without cases.
Hello My Sweet. Your message makes me feel so special. I no longer have the time to come to the forum. I believe I have only used the Glowforge 5 times a since the end of 2023. In late fall of 2023, I started a consulting business. The business has been very successful and I just finished hiring my third employee.
I am using the laser machine tonight to make a memorial for a friend who had to say a forever goodbye to their White German Shepherd.
Always remember you are a precious soul with a kind heart and I love you very much!!
