The pine sounding board and metal resonator gives it a pretty good sound.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>business card caliper v2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[New revision of the card. No big differences except for the slide now includes useful info printed on it, and the instructions go onto the part of the card that doesn't get used. 
Paper with a pattern on top, and white on the back seems to work best for engraving. This was cut on the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Business card caliper</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a project I've been experimenting with at Techshop Durham. It is a laser cut business card that folds up to create a working caliper. I'll probably make some for myself, Rod-o-Rama, and lintqueen.

The card in "ready to hand out" mode

Card assembled, ready to use. These particular examples were actually cut out of paint [...]]]></description>

Fiddling around with the laser cutter at Techshop. I used inkscape to vectorize some doodles, then cut then out of paper using the Epilog laser cutter at Techshop. 
Paper cuts very well, with pretty good detail (see the hatching cut out from the doodle in the front for example). I've tried cutting acrylic as well, [...]]]></description>
