Eric Skiff’s back hurt and his neck was strained from hunching over his laptop. He needed to get it up off the table. Can he make his vision for a laptop stand a reality with a little help from a laser cutter?

(If you need an awesome steampunk-style portable laptop stand, Eric’s got the laptop stand for sale!)

Hi bre, love your videos and things you make. History hacker was awesome, inspired me in many ways.

I was watching this one from one of your other website and got a weird and obtrusive add space, I’m not sure if it’s from your or blip.tv or what ever it may be… I took a screenshot to better explain this phenomenon

Awesome video and most excellent stand!

I haven’t used a Lazzzor before, so I wonder, considering the difference between etching and cutting, do you have to stop the machine, change settings manually, then cut after etching, or is the intensity information contained in the image file somehow?

Bring on the Things!
