When I get bored waiting for 1.4...

Richard G7EIX

I get creative....

I did one in Perspex a while ago, but it looks wicked in Wood!  So I thought I would share.   You know, like when your kids come home from school and say "Dad! Dad! Dad! Look what I did."  :-)

Ken - NM9P

That is really slick!  What are you using to laser-engrave the wood?
and how much does it cost? !!

Neal_K3NC

Boy that is a real beaut!!

Richard G7EIX

I have a 80 Watt Co2 laser 36" x 24" engrave bed.    The key ring is cut from 1/4 Birch Ply 2.25" square.    Looks purdy - even if I say so myself.  :-)

Neal_K3NC

I would love to hear a british accent saying "purdy"!

Richard G7EIX

Yeah, I was channeling the missus - she was the one that called it "purdy".   I just think its the dogs bollo...... anyway. :-)

Rick Hadley - W0FG

Nice, but I actually like the Perspex idea better.  Are you giving any thought to producing them for sale?

Richard G7EIX

Unfortunately no - I would need permission to do that.    So right now, only myself and a couple of local Flexer's have them (they paid me in ****!)

And yeah, the Perspex was nice - but I really like working with wood, so I thought I would create one.   I've done a few emoji's in wood too.

• My career was with a company who's logo looks much like that, only the top of his head is rounded.   You probably know of whom I'm speaking.

Rick Hadley - W0FG

Dang, I wish I was in ole' Blimey...I'd fix you up with all the Newky' Brown or other favorite you choose...lol!

Richard G7EIX

I'm in North Carolina :-)  First thing I did when I moved here was find reliable suppliers of Guinness and Newcastle Brown Ale!   But we have a great selection of Micro Breweries here that are also hard to resist!

I'm good on QRZ - so you could always drop me an email - I generally cut these little items on the edge of the bigger jobs - so there is always room for a "test" cut for those that want them.  :-)

Albert Mercado

hahahahahahahahahha !!!

that's great 73's.

Jim Hope

Richard, you can bring me one at the next club meeting (1st Monday at La Foresta)

Richard G7EIX

Sure, but it might be the one after - were thinking of making a trip back to England that week for my Birthday.

Jim Hope

ok guess you need to make two more, as Jamie (KA0LYE) has a 6500. Happy Birthday.

Richard G7EIX

You have a 6700, yes?

Jim Hope

Yes, I have a 6700

Norm - W7CK

So, where do I send the ****?

Jay Nation

Make mine Guinness, but Lagavulin would be prefered, or Laphroaig, Does VAT apply if you don't want the whole vat? 

73, Jay - NO5J

You must have your entire home rebuilt then... Just Kidding people.....

Jay Nation

HomeBrew does imply, Brew in my Home.

Make mine Soon!!!

Richard G7EIX

You know how hard it is to find a find a nice Ham Radio Clock - so I made my own on the Laser.   Atomic Clock (Radio Clock) mech - cut from 3mm (1/8") Acrylic.

EA4GLI

If you are not willing to take orders we will have to ban you from posting those nice pieces!!!

Richard G7EIX

The clock will soon be available - just working on the logistics (my day job is not playing with lasers - so I have to juggle this extra hobby) .   I promise.   The key rings, there is a very good chance that they will be too - discussions have been had.... watch this space!
