Turning A Trivet With A Touch Of Technology

www.AsWoodTurn...
This piece combines technologies: old and new - turning and laser.
The turning is a 6 inch flat tray from maple whose inside is designed for a puzzle.
The puzzle is laser cut on a 40 watt LED laser.
I love integrating methods, materials, and technology in creative ways.
Enjoy.

My wife is a puzzle nut so this sounds like a nice Christmas toy. One change that I'd make ( just to suit me and my shop ) is that I'd substitute a scroll saw with a puzzle cutting blade for the laser. Otherwise it's a nice project.

Nice project! I would like to know more about the tube connected to the top of the laser. Is that a clean air supply to reduce smoke fouling inside the laser head? Is it pressurized?

Thanks, Alan!
