Laser Cutting and Etching

I previously made a post about Tech Shop Detroit and finally had an opportunity to take my first class there, choosing to start with Laser Cutting and Etching.

I was searching around for some ideas of cool things I could make using my newfound skill, and found these great examples what could be made with a Laser Cutter.

Abernathy Road

I now have another reason to visit Nashville again after a friend of mine told me about Abernathy Road, a store in downtown Nashville.  Abernathy Road is described on their website as being “Vintage Americana. Ranch, Range, and Roughwear. Fine Gentlemens Surplus & Sutlery.”

They also keep a blog on their site with some great accessory recommendations for events ranging from “your Autumn Road Trip” to “Hats for Easter.”

Gift Guide: For Gramps

I started this gift guide with the idea of doing one for a grandpa, but after compiling the list, I realized these were all things I would love to have myself. So maybe these are just gifts for a classy, homebody gentleman of any age?
