Hello
I am a longtime wood worker. I am new to laser engraving and thought I would test out the Thunder Laser in the Dallas MakerSpace. This software should allow me to expand on some projects and reduce the time of building. After watching many hours of youtube videos this software should be able to create some useful objects for around the home.
a little about me

Welcome to the crowd Jeff, I have a cnc router but find the laser so much faster [and just as accurate] that I have learned to build most anything with it. Of course there are limitations, but I find with a bit of experience and thought most can be overcome. Gene
