Well, I've had the new Eplilog Laser cutter for about a month now and I'm still playing with ideas and testing different materials. We'll be selling most of these soon on our website. Let me know what you think of these ideas. Some of the things came out better than others.
The world's smallest tiki bar sign? This is made of poplar and it's about 6" wide. I used the art file from our regular large tiki bar sign and just reduced it and printed the pieces to the laser cutter. One good thing about the cutter is that once you have an art file, you can print to any size you want! We will be selling these personalized, and with a stand at a low price soon.
This is an idea for a set of personalized coasters and drink tokens. I can engrave any kind of artwork on these. Notice the tiki and torches engraved on the coaster in the holder. It's clipart from the CorelDraw package. I really like the way the laser engraves. But I don't know how these would sell or what kind of a price we could get for them?? Maybe they're too much trouble.
This is a rework of one of our best selling tiki bar signs, but this version has more detail using the laser cut pieces. I really like the way this one came out.
This is a sample of something new we're trying. We are designing wall pieces based on retro motel signs laser cut from mdf and hand painted. I'm working on a tiki bar sign similar to this.
This one incorporates a filigree design kind of based on tapa cloth. The design strip on the top took an hour to cut with the laser. I like the way the stylized tiki mask came out.
This one is kind of different. We're playing with some atomic - ultra lounge styles.
In addition to all that, I'm playing with an idea for model house facades as wall art. You know, send a picture of your house and we'll create a wall piece based on it. I did a model of our house as a sample but I'm not quite happy with it yet. I don't know if the idea will work.
So that's what we've been up to with the new machine so far. I've got a list of other ideas to try out too. The days are flying by - seems like there's never enough time in the day to do everything you want to! Anyway, watch for some of these new things coming up on our site. Probably next week sometime.
Mahalo for looking, and Cheers!
