The story of me

Hi there laser wielding craftsmen!

I've been so lucky as to have the opportunity to have access to an anonymous Chinese laser beam at my local makerspace. I started applying it to slate, wood and acryl. My goal is to make plant signs from the slate and wood. I am not at the makerspace at the time of registering, and as such the details of the equipment it not quite concise.

As for current challenges:
* How to cut slate thicker than 5 mm?
* How to best clean optics?
* How to best make writing on slate visible/readable? Currently my best shot is cut mode with a very slender font such as DejaVu Sans Ultra-Lite 30 points size.

I see that there are many good reasources available here, and while I don't expect to post much, I will contribute when and where I have the opportunity.
