Stained glass, shining up brass, restoring old furniture, vintage cars, metal casting... and playing with the plasma cutter just because you can. In a costume focus, you can also powder coat costume bits, laser etch or cut pieces. You might deposit a very fine layer of sliver or gold on your pewter buttons from Tudor Tailor.
There's a gal at the SJ who used the laser cutter on a poly knit fabric to make leaves for an evening gown. As it did the cuts the edges fused slightly making a tidy edge. The laser cutter at SJ can cut up to 10 layers of dress or quilt weight cotton at a time. I'd be pleased to give a tour of either SJ or Menlo Techshop to any of you.
