faceplate etching for custom electronic consoles etc would be another application which i would be willing to pay for :)

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,
--David Carne
