While members are excited to have the new large format laser cutter, the small tabletop cutter is still getting much love.
Featured below are two token holding boards created with it for the board game Terraforming Mars. Jeff and Norm modified a design from Thingiverse to make these.
Here’s a link to the original design.
When my mother was 10 years old, my grandfather purchased a rotating tree stand. They don’t make them like this anymore. It’s sturdy cast aluminum with a brush contact for powering the lights, and strong enough to rotate a real tree. It ran for 56 years, but last year when I turned on the lights, it wouldn’t make a full rotation without throwing the house circuit breaker. Pictured below is my Karosel Model R-100-B manufactured by the Kresky Manufacturing Company.
I opened it up and performed an inspection:
Our event last week, Make Ornament, was a huge success! For one thing, I only wasted one ornament learning to laser-engrave. But also, we had a great turnout! Thanks to everyone who visited and shared holiday cheer with us.
Here are some of the ornaments people made!
On Nov 25th makers Michele and Jeff Cotten were able to visit Athens Makerspace in Greece.

Athens Makerspace had just recently celebrated its two year anniversary!
Pictured above is the global map hung up at Makers Local 256. Jeff and Michele are pointing to the new pin inserted at the Athens location.
