    i love it when projects make other projects.
    suppose you're thinkin' about a plate o' shrimp. Suddenly someone'll say, like, plate, or shrimp, or plate o' shrimp out of the blue, no explanation. No point in lookin' for one, either. It's all part of a cosmic unconciousness.

    Swami -

    What a awesome project! The results look great!

    Cool that you built a laser cutter - I'd love to have one some day. What is the material that you cut? Is it wood?

    it's 3.2mm masonite. my cutter has a 60W laser and can buzz through much thicker objects, but masonite was handy and is easy to work with.

    Nice work Dog. Your style is reflected.

    I'm doing simular boxes for my lumias, but in cedar, and brass. I liek the Steampunk look.

    Beautiful work, Swami! Are you planning to sell these? My guess is that they would fly off the shelf.
