By Etsy laser engraving is one of those DIY projects that I have wanted to do for a while now. It is also a great way to get a great looking and professionally engraved piece of artwork.
I have not done laser engraving for any type of item before, but this was a relatively easy process. I used a laser cutter in my garage to cut out the frames and then I used a laser to etch the text into the engraving.
I’m a big fan of laser engraving, and I knew I would need to do this because laser engraving is so much more difficult than simply cutting out a frame or etching text into a frame. There are some things that you have to consider when laser engraving.
First of all, how are you going to get the laser across the top of the frame? It wouldn’t be a simple process, so you would need to add a little extra height into your frame so the laser wouldn’t fall through. Also, you would have to create a very accurate depth to the laser, so you would want to get your laser about six inches from the bottom of your frame. For the depth, I used a laser cutter and a piece of scrap glass.
I think it is an interesting idea and a great way to engage people with your line of work. But, I dont think anyone would actually buy it. First of all, it isnt that easy to make a laser in a way that would work. Second of all, people are afraid they will be in the wrong frame, or that the laser would fall through, or that they would find a laser cutter they dont want. So, I doubt that would be a popular request.
My friend, Steve Gant, says that he sold a laser engraving frame to a guy for $25, but he never heard of him again. I guess if you really need a frame you can probably do it yourself, but I would doubt you would sell a frame that was worth that much.
The original game’s title is _The Game of Life_. It’s just a small sketch of the game, but the main character is a good man who makes lots of jokes about the games he’s playing, and he has the sense of humor that people would get from reading the game if they were actually playing.
That, along with the fact that I found the name to be utterly ridiculous, was the reason why I bought the frame. The fact is that laser engraving is a very old and very much forgotten art form. You can’t just buy a laser engraving frame off the internet. It’s a skill that you have to learn, and you can only buy a few frames a year.
The thing I find funny about etsy is that you can buy a really great looking one, but it doesn’t actually look that great, nor do the designs you can get. The real problem with etsy is that you have to actually make a living with it. You need to be able to make great engravings, because good engravings are the only reason people buy art. That’s why etsy is so good.
I know a woman who has a website where she sells engravings. She’s really good at it, because she never buys a frame because it looks so awful and she wants to impress her clients. The real reason though is that she is making money selling engravings. This is very rare in the art world, because even the best engraving shops rarely make more money than they take in.
