I have had my blue chinese CO2 laser for about 4 months. I love it! I got the idea firstly because I wanted to engrave beads. Thanks to Russ's YouTube videos, I had the courage to try something I have never done nor dreamed I could get the hang of.
I always remember the video where he slapped his own hand away when he wanted to change the settings without examining why he got the result he did. :lol: That is me all the time!! Although it takes a few rounds of mistakes before I remember to stop and reassess.

Now I cut + engrave boxes, bottles, stones, beads, bamboo, shells, and pretty much any material that Russ hasn't said is forbidden. I am so grateful for Russ! What a legend!

I am excited to share and learn with this community!
