Hockey Stencil Cut and sketch booked

The lasers have been moved into their own dedicated room separate from the woodshop and metal working/welding area which makes for a better temperature controlled, quieter and cleaner work environment. Seth also recently recalibrated and cleaned the lasers after the renovation of the makerspace in early August and I enjoyed very clean cuts at low powers with no charring, burning or microcracking on the back side of the stencil. Notice that I am now using a light purple tape which is low tack/delicate removal 3M brand painter's tape (60 safe removal period). The run took almost 6 minutes to complete using 20 different layers, my most complex design to date.

Today I completed my coloring plan in my sketch book and next up is to actually do the drawing on 130 lb white cardstock. I toyed with the idea of using a wide 18 kt gold brush stroke to frame the hockey scene but decided against it because so many of the hockey objects are small and thin and the broad reflective strokes might clash with that fine detail.
