 We grabbed a few small river-type rocks out of the dirt next to the Metal shop to see what the laser could do to them. Interestingly, it melts the rock?!? When we work with glass the material is fractured, not melted. We obtained different results on the rock than we were expecting. First, from everything we read and watched on You Tube the results should have been a white etched surface and it should have been recessed into the surface of the rock. After pondering this for a bit, we realized that rock is not homogenous from stone to stone (duh). Results will vary tremendously from piece to piece. |  |
 Next, we have begun creating items that may be able to benefit our program financially. The trick as we see it is to create things to sell that are inexpensive, easy to make a bunch of and are desirable to the masses (students and faculty). We came up with little Cavemen that are refrigerator magnets and key-chain thingys. We have figured a way to burn into the front and the back, which will allow us to customize them (for a small fee) to individual students, faculty and parents. |  |
