I bought a Glowforge about 3 years ago and was hooked. I'm made all manners of things, mostly from MDF. Started making puzzles last year and they became popular. My wife and I run a company that was focused on math learning products, but now we are working entirely with puzzle production and sales. Our site is www.dragonfjord.com.

We've just received a large Chinese laser cutter with two 100W heads and a huge 1300 x 900 cutting area. We are now ready for large production. I've learned a TON about the machine now and am making modifications. I can't believe how fun it is!

I used to make fun of my son for watching videos of other people playing video games, and now I use a lot of time watching videos of other people experimenting with their laser cutters. Thank you Russ for all you put out there ... just fantastic!
