a laser cutter and a bit of time on your hands.

very interesting stuff but I would rather see it done in metals.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

Too baroque. Or something.

I like the dimensions on the work just not the material.

I know, but it's still too intricate for my tastes.

Too early for me to be online. Just got the joke.

Groan - but still made me laugh.

Anyroadup - that is lovely work, but like Star says, I would like to see it using different materials - maybe layers of coloured anodised aluminium.

More like Rococo. Or Caribbean gingerbreading. A few look Celtic. A few look Islamic.

I agree, it's too frilly. Nice tech demo though.

On a related note, what's everyone's opinion of laser cut counters for boardgames?  Don't you boo and hiss me, it's a legitimate question!   ???  Seriously - I got a game the other day with laser cut counters.  Just picking up the countersheet and I had burnt ash on my hand and the back of the sheet had burn marks on the counters themselves. It just didn't seem that the technique is quite perfected (for gaming purposes) yet.

well there are many different grades of laser cutting devices.  the ones used for the project here are probably of a lot higher quality then you might find at a mid/low level print shop where your counters are done.
but dont worry, no one is taking your 'device' away from you.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.
