Might as well dive straight in, eh? 😀
I started with a simple keyring:
And then, a “bee-ring”:
I’m happy with these, but not 100%. I think ideally the air pump needs to be off when the engraving is done and then should be switched on when the cutting starts so that the engraving doesn’t have the edges softened by “soot” whilst leaving the cuts as clean as possible.
After those, I just had to try a simple box from standard 5.5mm ply:
I’m quite impressed that it fitted together tightly without any adhesive being required. The edges are quite black and sooty however. More experience required, I think.
