REVIEW – I have always wanted a laser engraver and cutter, but the affordable ones looked like a glorified Erector set, and the powerful enclosed versions would cost a small fortune.

REVIEW – We travel a lot. Many times, that travel is to warm, exotic places. Other times, we visit wetter, cooler, or downright colder locales.
