Boy, I would love to invest in a laser! I don't know enough about them but the Glow Forge that's been advertised would be a cool start. Quote

LOL, i was visiting a friend of mine about and he said the same thing. Because a wifi is required, that will be the deal breaker. Thank you for your advice, too! . Quote

Exactly what Bert said. Do not buy a glow forge. Glow forge is really good at marketing and they do A LOT of it. But from what I've heard the many many downsides out weigh the up. The laser I have is $289, so not a huge investment. The diode laser does have limitations as I listed above. I still want a C02 laser but I'm constrained by the space in my shop. Quote
