I Have a laser!!! Creality CR Falcon Laser 10w 

Yes please anyone considering one also be aware the fumes from these can be incredibly toxic, especially when using it on random materials - even dedicated ‘laser cutting’ specific materials are still intended to be cut in fully enclosed and ventilated machines. ‘Makers Muse’ did a good video about this recently.

Mahbe you could convince Nige to get a NB logo on his arm/thigh? 🤣

@@CompuWhizz He tried to get "I love NB" tattooed on his cock, but ran out of space three letters in.

@@dsesuk "I l" so is all that fitted... Oh dear oh dear! 😔

wrong. Already exists. It's software based. Simultaneous 3-axis machining. You have a stock and you have a profile to trace over/ontop of it. People already show how to do it. You can use your smartphone as a camera to make a 3D model of the stock if you don't feel like making a digital estimation of it.

probably safer than being a UK tax payer

If you set it up properly, use the correct PPE and have good area venting then it's fine. This isn't something that they expect people to use constantly, just a thing for infrequent use by educated people who can't justify the full priced units.

@@AndrewStrydomBRP I know Andrew. They *can* be used safely, I’m just worried about a video titled “You Need to Buy This” and this ending up on Christmas gift lists for people who have had no high-power photonics experience or training. I’m not a fan of “banning” anything due to knee-jerk safety concerns, within reason. I used a laser cutter (a proper, enclosed system) in a professional environment before and the risk register for that was huge. They’re very cool and very exciting tech, but if my/our words of caution make even one person do a bit more due diligence before buying/using one of these, I’d say that’s worth me sounding like a bit of a miserable sod for a brief moment.

@@damowdotnet I do agree with you there, giving this to someone who doesn't know what they're doing is like giving an SDS to a kid.

I can help mate. Give me a bell

@@NBundyElectrical Hi Nick Thanks for your prompt response. I know your very busy so you let me know when would be the best time for a chat about my problems with my laser engraving machine. Don’t think it needs much to sort it out but trying to communicate with Creality is a nightmare 😂😂 Thanks again and look forward to chatting with you . Tony

any time tomorrow bud, just drop me a text before hand dude

Agreed! I see too many people think that glasses are safe because they are dark or the maching has an orange perspex lid. they associate the tint with it being safe.

@@ruskythegreat that's why i dont mess with lasers.I don't have the correct equipment to ensure laser safety. Don't have a spectrometer or a power meter, or reputable supplier of safety goggles. I'd have to wear an improvised helmet that uses a camera externally to protect me :p
