Hi guys and Girls, my name is Jacob, I have a 50 watt Chinese (blue and white) CO2 Laser cutter/engraver. Bed size: 300mmx500mm (20”*12”). I am very impressed with the youtube video's of Russ I think it is an epic series. I am a hobbyist and building 0-guage scale (1:45) model trains. I will use the laser to build a.o. model houses and stations. I have a CNC router so I was somewhat familiar with g-code. I am 70 years old and still working as a professional psycho therapist with no plans to retire. :D Thanks for allowing me into this forum.

Welcome Jacob- having a psycho therapist in the membership has got to be a good thing, and have fun with the laser as you are treating us. :twisted:
