Steve,
Just watched that entire video. I never knew how any of it was done- that
was absolutely incredible to watch!
I knew the name of "god" in Arabic was interwoven in kufi script
throughout all these designs, in the Al Hambra,
and elsewhere, but always figured it was in the caligraphic script borders
you can quickly see- never saw such fine
level of detail in the leaves like that to write it... that was a
masterpiece.
There is so much beauty and good that we never see from that part of the
world, and it was wonderful to see that
side of things for a change. They gave us mathematics and astronomical
charting, and a lot more...now too many
simply associate it all with hate and destruction, isis is destroying the
heritage of beautiful lands and their incredible
art, along with of course too many kind people.
The design I wanted to try is the most famed Moroccan design, but I don't
know what it's name is. I wonder if it
will bend on the laser cutter... or maybe I can etch it, then cut the
hinge over the design... Attached is a copy.
I have several books on Japanese woodworking and joinery and traditional
sign carving that are pretty extensive
if anyone wants to try laser cutting or hand making some, so I probably
have the books you mentioned, but if you
like moorish stuff, check this one

out.
Now if my brother would just return it to me....
J. E.Townsend-
I'm game with trying to etch paper or whatever might help your tests, so
long as it doesn't hurt laser cutter.

and I'm not saying I want to hack the club laser cutter! I'm working on
some software for driving laser cutters and I want to learn how all the
common (aka "cheap") boards drive the laser. There are possibly some
problems with PWM vs true analog voltage controls that fry some CO2 laser
PSUs.

Laser cutter goes down to around 18%.
I should look at the PSU, then, and find out how the board works. On
the Lasersaur project we can dial our RECI lasers down to "lights up but
won't etch paper".
