Coasters Engravings, Jesus Fish And More!

In this Episode, number #2 of my live stream updates, I wanted to share a bit about the stone coasters saga, the rabbit hole that it turned out to be. Also, a new purchase I made to help my laser work. Sadly, that purchase has not been played with being that I was so focused on getting my coasters reused. I will show you some of the jigs I plan to make, hopefully sooner than later. I also talked a little bit about xTool's latest update, version 1.6.6. A lot of good stuff. So good, in fact, that 5 of these features will be the highlight of my next video. In this live stream I showed you 2 of the features I think are the most interesting, and that I think will save us a lot of time. I am not a designer, so, even a small text change or update would take me a long time to get it done in Affinity Photo, Canva or Photoshop. Now, it is done in a matter of seconds.
