Keepsake Boxes

Don – those look great. I like the laser designs. Nice touch

I’ve looked at CNC’s but never the laser engravers. What kind did you use, and is that a free stock design? Or something you did yourself?

The engravings make for a nice way to dress up a box.

Love them. Very original and well made.

TherealSteveN, I’ve got an Eleksmaker laser engraver. It only cost about $200 and it came from China. Assembly was simple but the computer program was miserable. You have to be a computer wizard to download the program as the machine didn’t come with a manual or program. The design came from google. I just looked for “heart” on google and saved what I liked as a JPG. Then, went from there. I hope that helps. Oh and thanks for the compliment.

Thanks Mark and Chuck for the compliments. It was fun making the boxes.

I love the mass production approach you take, plenty of leg stock there 8^)

Nice design, catchy area to put what ever design you choose. I wish my clamps could breed like yours, looks like they are having at it!

Don,

Stellar job on the keepsake boxes…..Looks like you were in your usual form of great projects…..!! The ladies in your life are going to really like them, I can tell…..!! The design is top-notch, and the laser engraving is stellar, too.

Splintergroup, Thanks for the compliments. I pick up clamps whenever I see them at estate sales. I use them all the time.
