Exclamation Something new, something cool

I etched this a couple days ago. I can etch onto tile, stone, glass, metals, whatever. Here is a quick example of a picture of my dad's car on a 6x6 white wall tile (this doesn't even compare to the way a 12x12 piece of black granite looks):













Just for a heads up, I am currently building a website for those who have asked, it is not operating yet because I am wrapping up some licensing deals, and then I will get in touch with Nineball to be a sponsor.

Let me know if you guys like this kind of stuff.

The cool thing is, I can make a life-sized picture of you car and put it on several different tiles for you to piece together on your garage floor (if you want to go that extreme).

Is it a laser engraver? We had one where I used to work and I dabbled with some of that kinda stuff. You might try your luck with some cheapo square or round mirrors at hobby lobby or other craft stores. I did some coasters and some other cool nicknacks for my parents for christmas last year. I lasered the back of the mirror with a reversed image that came thru the front and looked like it was etched into the mirror itself, pretty sweet

It is a laser, and I can do this image on mirror, and stainless as well, and all the different gray tones will show - not just black and white.
