The Woodshop Shed

I've moved a little closer to the Duck (you'll see what I mean)

I've been wanting a laser for a while and I finally pulled the trigger. I bought an XTool D1 10w laser. I had a couple of operations in the last 8 months, one on my neck and the other on my lower back. Both to fix a stenosis that was diminishing my strength in my hands and legs. I started this ordeal in August and I'm about 3 weeks out from the second one. I feel pretty good so far, but they tell me it might take a full year to realize the full effect. Getting old isn't as much fun as I had hoped, but I'm sure a lot of you already know that.So now I have a tool that I can sit on my arse and still make stuff while I'm waiting to get back to full strength.1- I built this enclosure because I'm set up in the basement and I didn't want to stink up the house with what ever I decided to burn.2- Set myself up with my computer right next to me on the table.3- This is a grid that someone posted and it seemed like it would be helpful although I've already covered it up with stainless steel because the wooden grid just burned and added to the smoke.4- I had an old 4” fan that I decided to use as a smoke extractor.5- I built an enclosure to house the fan.6- The finished fan enclosure ready to installed on the enclosure made for the laser.
