[Vanhackspace] Who thinks we should buy a Laser Cutter?

[David Carne]

Hi All!

We're trying to figure out ways to increase our monthly revenues, so  
we can rent some space!

The idea for a laser cutter came up. Laser cutters are cool; mainly  
because of the word Laser, but we think it could provide steady  
revenues.

First - we could offer the standard "put some pretty picture on your $ 
{THING}" service to the general community. Lots of people would  
probably pay a lot of money to have some of that etching done. A quick  
google doesn't find anywhere that looks like it would do a quick one  
off in the vancouver area.

Second - we could do simple laser cutting of acrylic / ${MATERIAL},  
driven by an online ordering system. There are lots of places that do  
this, but they're all south of the border.

Thoughts?

Cheers,
