That is really cool. I don't care that you didn't carve it, it is still awesome.

[Jarednem]

yea no carving, but cut, molded, and sewn buy hand 

[bikermutt07]

The whole thing looks great. I was just really taken aback by the engraving.

Holy Hell! That is outright AWESOME! If'n somebody, say another leather worker, was wanting a design lasered... how much would you charge for something like that?

[Jarednem]

Thank you! I am charging 135 for this book, but this will be something i will reproduce so the computer work on this image is already done. Im still pondering on what to charge someone for a personal image work. This photo took hrs of photoshop work to get it to come out right.

I bet it did. I've done stuff like that making masks for video and green screen rotoscoping. About my least favorite thing to do.

i can take a look at the image in question, and let you know if its do able though. let me know.

I really have no pattern right now. But that is just too cool NOT to want to do one. Knowing what you likely need to do for your machine, when I find something I really want, I can do some of the grunt work and save you the headache.

Very cool design mate! You've inspired me, I'll have to try and challenge you 

My laser bed is only 200x300, one of the $500 40W jobs from ebay. I normally just use it to cut out stencils for airbrushing or cutting acrylic or MDF templates, etc.

What size bed and what power of laser are you using?
