Atomstack Maker A5 V2 40Watt: This is my new toy. Absolute novice at engraving so lots to learn. As I intend to do some cutting, I hooked up the air assist to my airbrush compressor. I also added a honeycomb Table.

Rebuilding my BMW R80/7 TIC. ( Ex UK Police Escort bike) Never built ( or even worked on) a bike before so some learning to do. First job, however, was easy, clean and paint the frame with 2 pack.
