Not as planned
but still good. Yesterday that was. I did not pour any resin, nor did I clean my room. I did however cut a number of things for the Cat fest and get most of them painted. I find that focusing on making one type of thing at a time really seems to help. So I made 3 keyholders and 2 wall arts. Today I will finish them up and get them ready to go. Back before I got my CO2 laser, I was using this wood from a company in Ohio. It worked okay, but the last batch I got from them just didn't cut very well. There were always patches where it didn't cut through and I was wasting a lot of wood. So I stopped using it and they just sat there. The other day I pulled it out to cut something, I forget exactly what, and found that it worked pretty good on the CO2 laser. Still some spots that didn't cut through all the way, but not near as bad as with the diode laser. So I started using it. I found that it worked great for earrings because it is real wood not that processed MDF garbage. Also, it cuts so much cleaner than the MDF. Well, yesterday I ran out and had to order some more. The good news is they are pretty quick about shipping so I should have it soon. The bad news is all I have left are scraps so it will be all about earrings until the new shipment gets here. To finish up a couple of these projects, I need to use MDF and I'm not thrilled about it but whatever.
That was about it. I spent the day just cutting and painting. This morning I'm going to go through the course I bought yesterday and see if I can figure out a posting routine. That is the one thing I am resisting and I know I just need to get over it. So I'm off to figure out how to post regularly.
