Of Pear Bowls and Stainless Steel Sinks

This is Tom, and he recently finished installing our magnificent sink.

Tom is a wood turner, and after spending some time in the space and seeing the capabilities of the laser, thought he might like to try to engrave some of his work. He brought in a pear bowl he had recently turned, and Rebekah (student and Innovation Center student employee) and I figured out how to use the auto-focus feature of the laser – we don’t use this much, and perhaps the only other time it’s come into play was when we tattooed a pumpkin back in October – to successfully engrave his signature on the bottom of said bowl.

The sink, by the way, has a built in eye wash, something that we we’re happy to have for safety reasons…

…and for friendship! 🙂
