I am a laser hobbyist, although I do sometimes sell things made on my machine(s). Mainly lamp shades (see my website) and around Christmas we are always very busy with the local Christmas markets.
I bought my first machine in 2012, a Shenhui SH350 that is still going strong today. A second machine has been running alongside the 350 for a while, but is now taken apart to be rebuild from the ground up. This might take a while as I have way too many hobbies (my daytime job being one of them).
