In this episode, we’re answering a bunch of questions and covering everything from holographic tumblers from Johnson Plastics Plus to huffing cedar wood since it just smells that good. We also check out Potracify, a WordPress plugin from Sam at the Laser Master Academy that helps convert photos to SVGs. Plus, a serious chat on laser safety—if you’re thinking about engraving dangerous materials, wear the right gear (or better yet, just don’t). If you care about your health (unlike me) do NOT ablate ABS with a UV laser! Just because a UV can do something safely doesn’t mean you can’t hurt yourself. I found out the hard way. Also - USB hubs, going live, Anthony has a YouTube channel and acrylic appliques! All of this and more this week on the Laser Source Podcast!

A MASSIVE crew of Laser Source Alumni awaits you on this brand new episode of the podcast! Matt’s back to being Mr. Boddiford, so get ready for some lectures about literature. Bleh. Kyle’s tearing apart lasers. Michael wishes he HAD a Kyle. Bronson and Anthony are having a sleep over. Also - this episode turned into a full-on leather deep dive—whether we meant to or not! Michael, Anthony, Bronson (aka Cubing Cracked), and Jason cover a range of topics, but we kept circling back to leather engraving, cutting, crafting, and of course, the terrible smell. If you work with leather (or just want to hear us complain about it), this one’s for you! Get updates from the whole crew this week, plus a bunch more!
