Bstark, take a look at out simple table setup that I have posted in Bettys posting. This fair is an annual fund raiser for our churches women's group. So I pay for two 8 ft tables (so I don't need to bring any) A couple of nice table clothes and I put shutters on each end and made special shelves...

RJ actually that room was an add on to our sanctuary it was meant to be a Gym and the shutters where to protect the windows. I has never seen a basketball since it was built in 2001. Our pre school uses it and we use it for many events plus we rent it out for private use....

Lightburn continues to surprise me with its capabilities! AS DO YOU Jim

[Rolf]

Good for you! We had our one and only in person fair on Saturday. Like you the weather was horrible.! Low traffic but it did pick up a few times during the day. We were down about 5 vendors from previous years for a variety of reasons. In the end we did reasonably well. There were three competing fairs...

Beautiful piece! What a wonderful gift. How did you create the file for the floral boarder?

Like you I use my laser on certain projects to lightly burn the pattern on the wood. Especially on small stuff like tree slices....

[Rolf]

Betty, looking ate your photo makes me realize how much more I wanted to do for my fair this Saturday.
I like those small price holders I will have to check them out.
We got the remnants of our consignment event last week (three days after Thanksgiving) I think it was our best year...

[Rolf]

I really like these, nice detail. Did you also do the painting? Hard to tell from the pictures but how big are they?...

[Rolf]

My responses will be delayed for a few days as I am busy making stuff for a fair this coming weekend.

Betty, I was just down in the basement cutting stuff for my Fair this Saturday and started thinking about my post. I was going to change it hopefully before you saw it. I should have just asked you why the Seyco vs the Pegas. I did not want to put a damper on your excitement!
But I was too late....

I am starting on a clock and the book says you sell metal parts kits. Please let me know if you still do that. Thanks, Jim

[Rolf]

There are a lot of resources on line for Lightburn , should you choose to use it. Also if you are on facebook some excellent laser engraver /cutter groups that tend to be manufacturer specific....

[Rolf]

I look forward to your review! There are a lot of variables that change with the wood you are using. I practice on the scraps that are left from projects that I cut on my Scroll saw. Getting a balance of speed and power.
If you are doing images there is a bit more involved. These are two of...

I agree that Ray probably has the best support network in the industry. But
I am still not impressed with his design choices. I never understood why he limited the angle adjustment to 30 deg.
Personally If I were buying a new saw I would go Pegas but that is just my opinion.

[Rolf]

I agree with Chris Pel, it is definitely not a Hawk or Hegner but certainly looks like a clone. all of the early Hawks that I have seen have all aluminum uppers, the only one I know of that was cast were in the G4 era like mine.

I wonder when it was made? My G4 was in the 2005 time fra...

Regarding Lightburn when I have a question they have a great users group https://forum.lightburnsoftware.com/
Also if you are on facebook Lightburn Users supporting Lightburn Users

for testing use scraps of the wood you plan on using. The speed and power settings that give a nice...

[Rolf]

Nice! where in NY?

[Rolf]

This looks like an interesting system, The Lasers have come a long way from when I purchased my small engraver. Cutting with a diode laser was very challenging. The new lasers seem to have mastered that. Watching some of the videos shows that cutting 3/8 is certainly doable. Multiple passes if necessary....

[Rolf]

Welcome to the group and back to the Hobby.! We would love to see some pictures of the things that you make.
