Barbara,

If you use your laser machine to create masks for flat items, your learning curve won't be too steep.

Learning how to manipulate artwork for application to curved surfaces, especially those with compound curves, will present a steeper learning curve.

For the easier applications, if you can spary a water hose on a sidewalk, you can sandcarve. :-)

Well, I am a pro at watering my gardens, so I guess I will be ok with the sandblasting.
I still do not know what type of nozzles to buy. Any suggestions?
Barbara :-)

Barbara,

My stint as a sandcarver was short-lived, so I don't know what nozzles are available/desireable for various applications.

I had a rather weak siphon system, with a pencil tip, which didn't help build my enthusiasm for the process. :-)
