Ted Hellewell here from Austin, Texas.  I am a hobbyist in the woodshop only for fun.  Have been into CNC for about 15 years then purchased my first laser (G.Weike 130W 24x36) about 6 years ago.  Sold that one and just received an ebay special 150W 51x35 with rotary.  Much of the fun for me is dialing everything in to get the machine "perfect".  Now much like the Russ voyage onto figuring out the optimal setting for all types of materials.  I also find that I use the laser for making jigs.  Perfection and fast.  As for projects everything from toys, puzzles, etched butcher blocks, etched glass, furniture all the way to my first bass guitar.  Only limitation is ideas.
