New studio mate + new equipment!

Aaron, my new studio mate, began to move his equipment into my space a couple days ago.  Pictured above is his full spectrum laser cutter.  We will be sharing all our tools and equipment, so I'm thrilled to welcome him and his wonderful gear to my shop!

He's also a talented artist/designer/metalsmith, so there's a lot I can learn from him.  Check out his blog here.

He also brought over his brand new Taig CNC Mill, yet to be assembled.  This is another amazing addition to the studio.

We spent the afternoon setting up ventilation for the laser...

And finished installing this high-tech water cooling system to keep the laser from lasering itself to death.

Super excited to get this equipment up and running!
