I tried my hand at bass guitar, for a very short time. Decided I was better at beating on the drums.
I started researching the laser as a way to engrave the front panels for electronic equipment I make, including a new series of modular synthesizers I'm designing, and for the fixtures I mentioned in that other thread for limited producton or custom machines that I sometimes make.
But the more I looked at what it could do, the more things I've been wanting to try with it. I'm not planning to do anything in the A&R field or engraving services field. But hope to try doing some sculptural and artistic things with it. (some with electronics in them)
I also often design mechanical devices or aesthetic elements used by artists or for companies to use in trade shows and corporate lobbies. I've always hired machinists to cut and machine materials for me. Now I can do some of it (the non-metalic parts at least) with the laser.
Ask me again in a few months. By then I might know what I'm going to be doing. :D
