Um… no. Thank you but no.
Someone gave Warren access to a laser? Just as the old gypsy woman foretold… this is how the apocalypse starts.
You’ll be fine he never had his pinky finger sticking out ?!?!❓
Love the music.
Love the format. The background music track was super chill. My ADHD normally has me scrolling through something else while “watching” these types of demo reviews but the music seems to have satisfied that itch for something else. I’ve long been thinking about a laser cutter with the same concerns you mentioned about the co2 versions but ultimately the smell is the blocker for me.

Thanks for the interesting and relaxing video. Looking forward to seeing what you create.
What a cool tool for the gaming level user. Great to @warzan back, and reviewing with such enthusiasm.
