Got a text from someone who had seen me at an event a week prior, said I need something for our annual trip to go see DMB. They provided some artwork and I downloaded a special font just for their coaster openers and we worked through about 12 iterations within the early afternoon, and they were able to pick up 10 coaster openers that same evening since I had a few color options in stock. I hope they had a wonderful trip(both 25th anniversary and 25th time seeing them live!) and I know we will be working together again in the future for some hockey projects for Washington County Youth Hockey Assn. Knocked them out on my Xtool F2 using leather coaster openers from JDS Industries.

I love it when people ask me during a show, "Hey I really like this design, can you put it on something like this(usually a vague description)?" Then I pull out the whole box of blank coozies from LoneStar Adhesive, pop it in the xTool F2, and a few minutes later they are walking away from my tent with a quality product in their hand that might have taken weeks to get from an Etsy store. Simply the best leatherette products available and the absolute best portable laser on the market!

Week one of the Menomonee Falls Farmer's Market was a big hit, sold a few custom glasses, did some live engraving of dog tags and coasters on the xTool F2, and more importantly did not pass out in the heat! This week is going to be a little different, so no judging when you see me drink a whole gallon of water on Wednesday.

I'm out at the Pucks and Putts Golf Outing at The Lakes Golf Club in West Bend today supporting Washington County Youth Hockey Assn doing live engraving on leather bag tag tee holders. Swing by(pun intended) and see me at the turn if you're in the area!

Big thanks to Custom Makes by Jake for supporting the WCYHA Pucks & Putts Golf Outing! 🏒⛳

Whether it's laser engraved, 3D printed, handcrafted, or completely custom, Jake has a way of making ordinary things unforgettable. (Unlike that golf swing you'll be bringing to the outing. 😅)

Thanks for helping us create more opportunities for our young hockey players. We couldn't do it without amazing local businesses like you!

Working on Father's Day gifts while testing out the new META glasses. Golf ball texture leather coozies from LoneStar Adhesive and engraved on my F2. Stretched the image out slightly horizontally so that it looks more circular once a can is in the coozie. Cleaned up with a little bit of LA Awesome and microfiber cloth.

I need to work on pointing my head down a little more or learn how to cut off the top 1/3 of the video from these glasses. I also need to declutter my workshop and tidy some things up.

A few days ago I shared a picture just to show the type of work I can do in my shop, a fairly simple set of cake toppers for a local HS graduation. I wasn't trying to sell anything, I just thought it was cool and a fun example of the work I can do with my machines.

From that I got a request from a friend to do some smaller ones for cupcakes for his son's birthday. And then a other for another party.

Lesson being that even as insignificant as it may seem to you, share that project! You never know who may be inspired by it to order something, or to create something similar on their own!

Clear acrylic cut out on my and printed on using my Eufymake E1.

Spruced up our sign a little bit while holding the F2 up against it while hanging on the wall. Hard to get a clean video of that and even goofed because I was holding the machine 180 degrees for a short portion.

16 more added for our churches, we should never run out of tags again! Cut and engraved with my

Add cake toppers to the list of things I never knew I'd be making when I started my own business. Cut out the clear acrylic on my P2 and printed the Germantown HS logo with my E1.
