I spent some time today with a laser cutter. Not something I would normally spend my Saturday doing but it was way more fun than I expected. I have no design background so I generally find that I’m more limited when it comes to actually making cool things. I have ideas, they just get stuck in my head because I can’t figure out how to draw them or make them on a computer. But I was amazed at how simple it was to use and how perfect the results were. A simple letter made an antique book look great. We cut all kinds of things, books, a leather vest, skateboard deck, even a dinner plate. Be the end of the day we were walking around the city saying “oh, we should laser cut this” and “oh, we could totally do that”. It definitely turned into a little bit of an obsession.
