Young Phil over at @graduallywizardly has issued a challenge late in the year - make something that you couldn't have crafted 5 years ago, and then, give it away! Being a nice guy, Phil gave us months to prepare, and I've begun and finished mine within a couple days of the deadline! Better late than never! 😆
Fortunately I'm currently playing around with the 22W Alpha from @algolaserofficial , a super powerful laser engraver that I'm already making great use of in the shop - and it means I can easily and quickly craft a Dice holding box for a friend who is into Dungeons & Dragons.
Huge thanks to Sinis Mall and Algolaser for setting me up with the tool. I've had 2 lasers previously, both of them much, much, weaker - around the 5w or 10w level, and they were never able to convince me that using the laser was anything more than a gimmick for lightly drawing a logo on a piece of timber.
The Alpha has changed my mind on them, 22W is enough to deeply engrave and cut through hardwood, cut right through thick MDF/Ply/Pine, and even colour engrave on stainless steel.
I think it will become a commonly used tool in the workshop, and I'm eagerly thinking up and designing projects where it will help me take my woodworking to the next level.
Check it out for yourself, and if there is a particular test cut you want me to attempt, yell out!

The design for this dice box came from my friend, however it is very heavily derived from some that are available on Etsy. You can see them from that seller here (no affiliation): https://etsy.me/3uSPMcT
