I know I just expressed my relative disinterest in technology, but then I came across this.
https://glowforge.com/
I will be buying one, just not the first version. It can etch glass for stained glass panels. It can engrave leather to replace my one of a kind lincrusta. I can carve wood for moldings. I don't have words for how giddy this makes me. Especially since Lincrusta in England estimated it would be 20,000 pounds just to carve a new roller (if they were even willing to do it).
So yeah, technology is pretty cool after all....
Maybe they'll send me one because I'm a blogger. I bet I could beta test the shit out of it.
The last sentence of your post made me literally LOL!
ReplyDeleteYeah, you can sort of see where my mind's been at lately lol...
DeleteAnd that cool toy can be yours for the bargain price of $5000 at the special pre-order price. LOL (I want one now too.)
ReplyDeleteI think the price will come down though as competitors come out, not to mention the anaglypta itself would be a few thousand to purchase if I went with a different pattern. And, if it holds up, I can always resell it.
