As promised, here are a couple more pics. I don't have any tumblers ready so that pic will have to wait till I run some more.
This first one is a slate coaster with a sprint car engraved on it sitting in a box made of mdf that I cut on the laser and glued together. The double box is something I made for the wife for when we play cards. Deck(s) can go on one side and the discard pile in the other. I have a small lazy susan for it that I found at a goodwill but it's not in the pic. MDF doesn't take stain well as you can see. The next item is a 1x2 wood tag that can be used for a bunch of different things, they were cheap and I needed that much to get over the $25 for amazon free shipping. Also pictured is a pen but unfortunately you can't see the engrave too well. It's a bit easier to see in the next pic. That's the pen I needed a chuck for that I posted about before. The one I found worked out ok. The last item is a leatherette patch (one of those things I bought the laser for to begin with!) that one is black and gold. I also have blue/silver and rawhide/black. The place I get the blanks from have a number of other colors, I just haven't ordered them yet.
Just noticed, the lighting kinda sux in this and the coaster isn't as clear as it should've been.

This next one starts with a white ceramic tile (one of those 4.25" square things used in a bathroom) that I engraved a pic on. The pic is of my daughter's dog that I took the pic of a few months ago. That tile is a reject 'cuze I didn't think it was dark enough. I redid it and already gave it to her along with a small easel to stand it up. The easel was also done on the laser. Lastly is a better pic of one of the ornaments. I had to make another batch of this one so it was handy to add to the pic.

That's it for now. Some time after the 1st I'm planning on a fiber laser that'll make doing pens and tumblers easier, as well as engraving on stainless, titanium, steel and a host of other materials. I'll also be able to engrave jewelery with it. The one I'm planning on will even engrave stainless in color - different settings will turn the stainless different colors. I saw a video of someone engraving a minion in color. Thought that was pretty cool. BTW, the fiber *can* cut metal but I'm only getting a 30 watt so I'm not expecting it to cut much.
