I grabbed a set and today I put them to use. I thought about doing a super hero clock, but then decided to do a sunset. It&#8217;s a pretty simple design \u2013 yellow circle imbedded in a red circle. I found a picture of a sunset, with the sun reflecting off the water, and used it\u00a0as the texture on the bottom on the red circle.<\/p>\n<p>My\u00a0laser cutter works in two mode \u2013 vector cutting and raster engraving. The cutting was simple and took 2 minutes. The engraving, while simple, took almost 90 minutes to do.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a little hard to see in this picture, but the reflection looks cool.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-588\" src=\"http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/clock.jpg\" alt=\"clock\" width=\"900\" height=\"915\" srcset=\"http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/clock.jpg 900w, http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/clock-295x300.jpg 295w, http:\/\/douglasgclarke.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/clock-768x781.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Material Cost<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>$8 &#8211; one sheet\u00a0of plastic<\/li>\n<li>$6 \u2013 Clock<\/li>\n<li>$3 &#8211; Clock hands<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Total material cost $17<\/p>\n<p>Labor<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 hours non-recurring<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 hour recurring<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christmas Eve was a bit crazy, but I managed to finish another project.
