After many months of waiting our school Glowforge arrived just before Easter. After a few preliminary tests I devised a project to test the trace and print feature as I begin to learn how to use Inkscape. I decided on allowing the students to create a name plate. They drew 3 different designs and got to choose 1 design that we printed on 2 1/2\"x 5 1/2\" x 3/4\" Oak.

\n

With a very big stroke of luck I learned that Two 3/4\" pieces of oak= crumb tray+proofgrade Oak.

\n

This made my life a million times easier as I was able to just throw in 3 Prop pieces of wood to protect the bed and then the students piece of wood.

\n

To add to the fun I had the students sand with 3 different grit paper, stain, and put poly down to really get some true woodworking skills in. Check out some of the results below.
