I am guessing (I NEVER assume...) that could be reworked rather easily to be cut out of stainless or regular steel or aluminum to make lawn sculptures.... that could/should retail in the thousands... "Genius ain't anything more than elegant common sense." Josh Billings

Debbie:

Way off the thread but if you're doing horsey stuff don't forget stable signs. You can buy the cedar cheap and it lasers very well.

My client purchased this as a gift for her teen age daughter.

Actually now that the cat is out of the bag, I sent the designs to a guy who has a CNC shopBot to try it out. First plan will cut out of a single 1/2" 4' X 8' sheet of plywood and make a decorative 4' foot long F-15.
With no glue needed the F-15 can be taken apart and rebuilt anywhere.

The design for the almost 10 foot long F-15 is first going to be cut out of High Density foam to make it cheaper and so it can be easily moved,
also so we can check the dimensions.

I don't know about you, but the bigger the TOY the bigger my smile B-)

I hope I can convince a few individuals to try my designs with their CNC machines, maybe I'll find a CNC company who will want to include our designs with every CNC sale??? :P

Of course our main customers are the Laser Owners.

I'm guessing the best way to sell the "Toy Chest" items would be to supply all the parts as a kit (or more of a puzzle!) with instructions? These would be awesome as Christmas gifts!

I can see it now.....Daddy trying to put the Victorian Doll House together on Christmas Eve!!! The kids better put out a lot of cookies for "Santa"!!! >.<

Now your forgetting the furniture, check out the furniture to go with the Doll House you built. Notice the rocking Horse, of course the infamous commode, rocking cradle, and the Stove/sink/cabinet combination. Tom LaserBuzz, Inc. www.LaserBuzz.com

It goes without saying that the commode is fully functional!!! Right!?! :O

I suggest the dads begin building long before Christmas Eve! What great projects for the kids!

I have changed out the picture on the Motorcycle with side car with the finished pattern. You can see it at #47 of this thread and I have made up some more furniture for the Doll Houses. Piano, lawn chair & such. If you get tired of seeing these things let me know. I'm not sure if I should just show high production business products to make or these fun projects - I seem to enjoy designing more??? Note, I have been asked to write an article for A & E magazine on product development. I am not a professional writer by any means. But I submitted the first article and the editor contacted me to request a series of articles to better explain ideas, process, and thinking that goes into creating new products. I'm going to try my best, but I know there is plenty of you out there that create products everyday, but I hope my articles will help some, I don't want to come across as a know all. For the few that know me, oh well I won't tell you what they think ;-) Tom LaserBuzz, Inc. www.LaserBuzz.com
