I thought these icons would look nice laser etched on wood, and I'm super happy with how they turned out!

Since @[email protected] is here on Lemmy I guess I'll ask: do you think larger 2x2 or even 3x3 tokens would be useful to add to the set, and if so what icons would you suggest?

Edit: I can't figure out how mentions work, currently on Voyager on Android.

I think they’d work fine. You found the icons on gameicons?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mentions don't work really as far as I know

Mentions work fine, you just have to say his name 3 times in front of a mirror.

These are pretty cool and compact! Can you talk more about the process to make them?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn these turned out super nice.

Related question. Do you have your own laser cutter thing? I always thought those would be super fun to have for various projects.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, I have a 5W diode laser. It’s not ideal for wood but with enough time it will cut through 1/4 inch ply or MDF. It’s a nice tool to have but make sure you do your research - a lot of the stuff on the market is wildly unsafe, even shipping with counterfeit safety glasses.

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah I always make sure to read up on safety measures. I worked with and around lasers for a short time in the past. So I got at least some idea on where to start.
