Both lots of coasters I ordered turned up as described and quality is pretty good. **If you are ordering the Aliexpress ones make sure you ask for unprinted, the link above is printed but they shipped blank ones when asked.

The next bit has nothing much to do with Laser Cutting or engraving but Cork Floor Tiles have been added to my main workbench instead of the very rough tacked onto surface it was. Might just give someone an idea of other Cork uses to horizontal surfaces too. Standard Latex type adhesive used to stick them down.

Maybe I should have Laser engraved some grids or rulers before sticking the tiles down. ;) Two coats of Stain done for colour and two clear coats to follow tomorrow.

I have an old HP workstation that sold for over $10,000 that I am using for my NAS computer. I only payed $100 bucks used. Wild what they cost then and what you can get them for now.
