End of March

Well, we had a good meeting yesterday recapping everything we'd done (or not done!) so far.
We all seem to be in a rather similar place, all having tried to get started with something and then finding some unexpected difficulty. Gill reminded us who we could talk to and how to book time with them, so I'm going to get on and do that.
My first project, in which I had hoped to get some very fine lines cut with a laser, has now changed direction, the laser at Met Works can't cut silver, a local company wanted to charge way to much to make a viable product, so on the advice of Simon, Lucian and several others, I'm having it photo-etched instead. Precision Micro in Birmingham.
The box project - laser cut plywood or maybe acrylic, going to fix an appointment to talk to Ed about materials alternatives and costings, realy hoping for great things with this one.
I had hoped to insert some pictures but things didn't seem to work and now I have run out of time. More soon
