Late night experiments with the 2W IR module tonight.

Testing settings, pushing materials farther than we probably should, and seeing what this machine is really capable of.

Not ready to show the final result yet… but this one might turn into something special.

Been pushing myself to see how much detail I can engrave onto aluminum business cards lately.
Decided to make a Mad Matter inspired test piece and the amount of detail this laser can hold honestly surprised me.
Still learning. Still refining. But this one came out clean.

Throwback to the very first booth I ever set up during the 2024 eclipse in Arkansas.
I designed these eclipse necklaces/keychains with built-in solar viewers and took a chance on selling them at the event.
I ended up making around $1400 in two days and it completely changed the way I looked at creating and selling my work.
Looking back at these photos is wild honestly.
I definitely want to get back into running a booth.

Trying to improve more than just the engraving lately.
I want the entire experience to feel professional from the moment someone opens their order. Small upgrades, better presentation, cleaner packaging… just trying to get better one step at a time.

I posted this on my personal page as well. If you have a pet, Show it off for me. I wanna practice making something but I need pictures and names. Thx in advance.

Decided to try something new.
A friend asked if I could engrave a gun slide, but before I charged him I wanted to make sure I could actually pull it off.
Grabbed a gun my brother gave me for my birthday and sent it. Custom Joker engraving on my gun.

New product finally came in.

Well… most of it anyway. Alibaba forgot 15 pieces.

Still excited to start experimenting with these though. Thinking custom names, logos, gaming stuff, dark designs… what would you put on one?

Been experimenting with color engraving on stainless steel and learning fast that this stuff is definitely a process 😅
Lots of testing, ruined blanks, and dialing in settings one square at a time — but finally starting to see progress.
Honestly, watching the colors start to appear is addictive 🔥
More projects coming soon from Truly Rotten Studios.
