This video demonstrates what happens when Friday afternoon gets away on you and you start putting random things in the path of your CO2 laser to see what will happen.
This is a beautiful little Canadian Art notebook that we made last year. It was a bit too thick and a fire started inside when the laser burned through it. It smoldered away until the book was consumed.
