Hello from Kansas City, USA

[Thomas Budd]

Hi Everyone,

I've had an 80 watt chinese red & black for about a year now. I haven't done much with it yet but hope to change that. I have a background in software development and am currently working for Garmin as a low level software developer. That means I work with electrical engineers to help design consumer electronics and write the code that lets the electronics communicate with the sensors, storage, displays, buttons, beepers, etc... I just did my first paying raster engraving project for a friend and can't wait to explore the limits of these machines and see what else I can do. Russ's videos have been a great source of information and I hope we can learn even more from these forums.

Welcome Thomas. These machines can be a lot of fun and a bit aggravating from time to time.
