all hail technology

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.

  2. And that cool toy can be yours for the bargain price of $5000 at the special pre-order price. LOL (I want one now too.)

    1. I 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.
