As if by magic it appears.

No inks, paints, stickers or anyfink! Just science N s**t 👌

(Didn't need the cross hatch setting but it's a new machine so I have to figure out the settings, there's only one way to do that, test EVERYTHING 😊)

We picked up a new customer. He’s a Time Lord. 🤷🏻‍♂️

He turned up next Tuesday in what appeared to be a medieval wardrobe, carrying a stainless steel machine panel under one arm and a parchment drawing under the other. Apparently, he’s building an automated dragon-powered siege engine in the year 1387 and the original control panel had failed its yearly reconning of "Ye Royal Decree Concerning Hoists, Ropes and Things Suspended Above Peasants" (LOLER inspection.)

The brief was fairly straightforward:
⚔️ Commence – activates the primary trebuchet
🛡️ Desist – stops launching livestock into neighbouring kingdoms
🐉 Energised Matter – confirms the dragon is awake and sufficiently irritated
🔧 Recalibrate – adjusts for wind speed, castle-wall thickness and minor disruptions to the space-time continuum
☠️ Dead Man’s Switch – surprisingly, does exactly what it says.

The machine itself runs on 400V three-phase and neutral, which wasn’t widely available in medieval England. But neither were stainless steel enclosures, laser engraving or sensible workplace risk assessments, so we decided not to overthink it.

At his request we laser engraved the full control panel with a knight, dragon, Gothic lettering and suitably elaborate decoration—then added a proper machine identification plate for traceability.

It was manufactured on 22 July 2026, delivered in 1387 and has apparently been running reliably since the Battle of Agincourt.
The customer collected it yesterday, or the day after. Time Lord paperwork is an absolute bastard and payment was a few hand struck coins in a bulls ba***ag purse.

Anyway, whether you’re building modern industrial machinery, medieval siege equipment or something that technically hasn’t been invented yet, we can engrave the control panels.
Javik Laser — permanent industrial identification, serving customers throughout the known realm—and occasionally beyond the accepted boundaries of time..

As you can see we can work from drawings on parchment, the back of fag packets or full cad drawings.

The beginning is fine, the ending is ok, the rest is me singing and working 🤷‍♂️

Laser work we're good at - videos not so much 🙄

How do you specify the right stainless steel data plate? Choosing the correct material, thickness and marking method can make the difference between a data plate that remains legible for decades and one that fails long before the equipment reaches the end of its service life.

It's no secret that I like lasers more than most people. I can't help it. 🤷‍♂️
After all these years, I still get a bit excited when a project lands on the bench.

Sometimes a bit too excited.

If you're looking for someone who's genuinely passionate about what they do, you've found him.

Now excuse me while I clean up some mess on the laser... again. 😎

I bought myself a new screwdriver set the other day and put it in the garage, my wife, who never ever comes into the garage came into the garage "when did you get those?" 🤔

And yet Nicola Sturgeon didn't notice a f campervan!! 🤦‍♂️

As a side note, if you buy one of our machine plates with your company logo on it you'll stand out like a 125k motorhome on a driveway in Scotland. Visit our website for more info.

Motherf~cker 😯

Turns out we’ve created a monster at Javik Laser Ltd 😬
After noticing that 22 packets of Mini Cheddars had mysteriously vanished from the workshop, we checked the CCTV expecting maybe a mouse…

Nope.

What we appear to have is some sort of industrial-grade super rat.
Absolutely zero fear. Built like a gym sock full of gravel. Moving around the workshop like he pays business rates.

Our current working theory is prolonged exposure to industrial laser radiation and stainless steel dust has accelerated his evolution 🐀⚡

At this point we’re expecting him to demand PPE, ask for a company van, start quoting jobs and probably complain about lead times.

To be fair, if he managed 22 packets of Mini Cheddars in one sitting, he’s showing stronger production output than some suppliers we’ve dealt with.

Video evidence below before anyone thinks we’ve finally lost the plot.
