Had a go on the laser cutter today, made a few faces for my toy storage system. worked really well, after some experimenting with the speed/ power ect. Martin Charlier gave me a hand setting it all up, and we ended up cutting finger joints 3mm deep in the sides- so it can be easily put together and glued. Its really handy because the ply is only 3mm fo cutting these finger joints, and cutting the shapes in the face on jigsaw was resulting in the wood splitting- but the laser cutter did it perfectly and means there is no real finishing needed- maybe just a light sand. Was also really fun to learn how to use it- and its simple as- so ill definitely be making some more things and experimenting in the coming weeks.
