Hi, I like to build machines and tools that help me make other things. My laser machine was sepcifically designed to etch the inside surfaces of long tubes and pipes for some cool lighting effects. It's featured here.

Welcome Jonas,
Looks like a nice setup.
This forum has been down for some time and I don't think many know that it is back up so getting help might be a little scarce. I just found it reopened myself.
Hopefully there are still many good post from previous years still on the forum.
Again, welcome.
Willy

Hi Willy Ivy,

There's a couple of us trying to help out, but your comment about just realising the forum is reopened, means I need to send out a few more emails letting people know.
