    this is the american flag with the shadow of a eagle in it. this graphic was a pita. none of the graphic was in the right format so alot of it is redrafted. i have to say im pretty happy with the results and it was worth the work

    again sorry for the camera

    Dude come on you have a laser engraver and all you have is that crappy camera???

    Looks really good from what I can see.

    Figure out how to do the Smile Wait For Flash on the end of a barrel yet?

    does your camera have a macro?{it might be a picture of a flower} if you do put it on that setting and slowly press the button{give it a chance to lock on the item and to correctly set its focus}

    That's looking sweet! I'm guessing it's burning the top layer of paint or metal off so how does it look after it's oiled? Does it stay the white/light color?


    good question ill tell you tomorow. im still new at this. ive been doing it for 3-4 days now. i dont want to say somthing without trying it. i really dont think it will make any diffrence since im cutting into the aluminum but ill let you know for sure. i know i have some engravings that when you put the mag in are actually inside the mag well (im using all the space on the mags for pratice) a sliding the mags in the lower has no effect on it
