Welcome — we’re glad you’re here.
This blog is where we share what we’ve learned through hands-on laser engraving: what works, what doesn’t, and what we actually trust enough to use in our own shop. Our focus is on real-world lasering, tested materials, practical settings, and honest recommendations — not theory pulled from a manual.
We work with diode, CO₂, and fiber lasers, and each one behaves differently depending on the material, setup, and goal. You’ll find posts covering stone, wood, metal, slate, acrylic, and other materials we’ve personally engraved, along with the settings, prep, and techniques that gave us the best results.
We’ll also dive into how-to posts, including workflows in LightBurn and Photoshop, layout tips, file prep, engraving strategies, and small adjustments that can make a big difference in final results. When something doesn’t work, we talk about that too — because failures are part of the process and often the best teachers.
Beyond materials and settings, we’ll share more about what we do and how we do it — from design decisions and production methods to why we choose certain tools, machines, and materials over others. When we recommend a product or resource, it’s because we’ve tested it ourselves in real projects, not because it looks good on paper.
This blog isn’t about chasing trends or shortcuts. It’s about sharing experience, building better results over time, and offering practical insight into the craft of laser engraving.
Whether you’re new to lasers or deep into the process, we hope this space helps you learn, experiment, and engrave with more confidence.
Thanks for being here — and welcome to the craft.
