Good heavens do these years fly by!  It's been an exciting year - one of change, settlement, and exciting things on the horizon.  We have learned a lot this year, met some new customers and some new technology. 

Earlier in the year we brought on a LaserStar 3802 engraver and it is love at first go!  How much fun is this machine?  We have the 30 watt model and it  engraves beautifully and can do cutting up to 1mm.  As the "demo girl" I got to learn CAD-2 and Corel Draw for engraving and cutting.  Luckily Dan has tons of experience and helped me with cutting order, arrangement, explaining cutting angles and other technical whatnot.  He's a great trainer. I was impressed at how easy it all was, and how it has sparked my imagination.  I like to create a bit of jewellery now and again, and have been sneaking in to the workshop to try out various ideas.......this is addicting! Coupling it with the iWeld 990, I have afternoons where I just get my creative cap on and have a play.  This is a really powerful duo.  I can now do some interesting demonstration pieces for this years show in May - AUSTECH 2019 in Melbourne.  I'm working on machine plates, tags and other industrial bits and pieces.......and sneaking in a bit more jewellery work inbetween (but don't tell anybody). If you are going to the show, please stop in and see us... and the engraver.  It will give me an opportunity to have another play. LOL..
