[Eric_Methven]

I'm definitely interested in a couple of those.

They are incredible!!

 

[Stew]

That's too cool.

I'm interested in some too but also jealous of your toy!

 

[Bothwell_Craig]

I'd definately be interested once you find out the cost

 

[SimonM]

Very, very nice.

Just a thought, why not let your Young Enterprise group (I presume your school has one?) loose with the idea.

The group in our school is always looking for new & novel ways to make money!

Just come across this, very impressive !!

Realise I'm joining the back of a que now but I'm deffinitely interested. A few there that really catch the eye.

Could you do the Scout 'fleur de lies' symbol ? with or without the rope surround ?

 

[Black Sheep]

I'd be intrested if you get the go ahead.

Would it help if we clubed together and bought the materials and made a donation to the School for use of the Laser?

I would be intersted in some as well. I think my modified avitar I use for elelctro etching will come out well.

I think that one may be a winner on this site somehow!

I'll have a go - the fleur de lys on its own should be ok.

I would also be interested in a Scout arrowhead

cool idea and impressive results. Could a similar thing be laser etched onto steel or stainless steel like a knife blank or something?

 

[James Popham]

Great idea! I'd be interested.:You_Rock_ :wow1:

Not with the equipment we have at school. You can indeed both cut and etch steel with a laser but you need a much more powerful machine. We occasionally cut 6mm MDF and this is about the limit for our machine.

 

[Nagual]

What a wonderful idea! Have you come up with any preliminary ball park figures for costs as of yet?

 

[Mike Bowler]

nice work sir

For all those who expressed an interest in the stamps the situation is this:

I will knock up a few standard designs and these I will sell for £4.50 inc. PP and Paypal. If you want a customised one then this will come in at £8.00 to £10.00, depending on how much time and fiddling I have to do in front of the computer screen and with the laser settings. The proceeds will go to buy materials for the pupils to make stuff with.

BUT!!!

Remember that this is a material that we are recycling after the kids have used it for their projects and is, therefore, only available as and when they have done with it - I can't go in to mass production!

I have also posted this on:

go there if you want to see what SpanielMan has done with one of them.

I am currently working on the Scout logo for those who expressed an interest. When it's done, I'll post a pic and PM those who were interested.
