    Nice one Victor… i like the whole shape idea.

    However, I don’t want to spoil this but Derik is normally spelt Derek. Just thought I would mention it as you can get Derik, but Derek is common name

    That looks very good , I like the diamond shape a lot.
    Do you have Photograv for photos? It’s a marvellous photo engraving package.
    Is that 6mm acrylic or 8mm? Cut edge quality looks real good. Did you cut a slot or glue surface to surface?
    Funny ,seems laser engraving is not a big thing in England and its such a profitable pursuit.

    Well at the moment, we think laser is too expensive to buy the machine, would have to laser a lot of stuff to get our money back.

    Thx all for the comments.

    Rod, it is 10 mm perspex, slot cut out and glue, just in case. 😉
    Cut Edge in fact came out real good for that thickness.
    I don’t have photograv Rod but i’m doing real good finishes on photos i think mainly coz i got a big experience with Photoshop and Corel Photopaint. I’ve been wondering myself if Photograv is worthy or not as i haven’t tried it.
    I don’t think i have a possibility to check it out before buying it, coz i don’t know anyone near me that uses it.

    Cheers

    I’ve got a Laserpro Mercury engraver and will shortly be putting it on Ebay as since i have had it installed, I haven’t had chance to market it to its full capacity due to the increase in business in the vehicle marking and sign side really taking off. Will post in equipment for sale section when I finally get around to it.
