Daughter of Dale

Daughter of Dale Handcrafted with love and microobessioning for geeks by a geek, in Amery, WI.

Inspired by my father, who passed on to me both his humor and his love of making things with his hands.

So earlier this year I made a significant investment and upgraded my laser to this beauty…an RF 60w CO2 machine weigh easily 1000 pounds, and which can cut and engrave roughly 6 times faster than my old one.

I used it for about three weeks and then it just… broke. I’ve tried to troubleshoot it but I’m not exactly great with a multimeter so it’s just been a very expensive table for the last five months and a source of endless frustration to me.

But thanks to a friend who spent some time this weekend helping me troubleshoot it, the lights are on, the laser is firing, and it’s back up and running! And a replacement fan is on its way to replace the naughty one which was causing all of the issues apparently. I could not be more grateful.

So for the first time since April, tomorrow I get to re-familiarize myself with my favorite toy, and I’m THRILLED. Be prepared for incoming wood projects which have been on hold since then!

Had an amazing day at the show today.

My favorite wholesome moment: if you know me, you know I’m prone to striking up conversations with people at my booth. Someone came up to me, we started chatting, they saw my newest set of earrings, and right then and there they insisted on pulling up a picture of their friend at Pride a few months ago, marching in the parade with a non-binary pride flag with Mothman on it.

If, upon meeting me, a stranger’s first instinct is to show me that particular photo, it makes me feel like I’m doing something right with my life.

Today I’m working on some little dice acrylic stitch markers. I cut these yesterday, but I wasn’t super happy with the contrast of the engraving. Did some experimenting with — of all things, Dawn dish soap and acrylic paint — to get the exact type of finish my perfectionist self craved. Here’s it before, during, and an after. Each stitch marker has to be done individually but the results are worth it! Link to finish product in comments.
