So today I am taking a vacation day from work to kick start my Etsy shop. I haven't mentioned the
store yet because so far there isn't a lot to see. If you don't know what Tech
Shop is, I explained it in detail on my art blog last year. In a
nutshell, it's a maker's paradise.
The only downside to Tech Shop, and this
is probably my fault, is it's insanely boring here! A lot of the techniques are
automated once you set them up, so you end up with some downtime, especially if
your project is large. Ex: each set of 24 Christmas ornaments I make today
takes about 35 minutes to cut. The rabbit shapes I printed last year (that can
be seen on my art blog)
took 4 hours EACH to print. So today I hit a button, hang out for 35 minutes,
and repeat.
Luckily I have you to talk to. Blogging has its perks.
Here are some videos of the laser I'm running. It took me about a half hour to remember how to use it, so you can see the faint ghost lines of failure on the board where the laser is cutting.

I'll be posting the finished ornaments and the results of the rest of my time at Tech Shop in a later post. Keep an eye out.
