Laser Engraved Leather Gifts

[DHS Designs]

A brief video of a leather engraving project for coworkers.

This was a first attempt at marking leather. Interesting to note that it was surprisingly difficult to dial in the laser power and speed. Even this is a bit to strong/slow. You can see how the eagle features are somewhat burned a little too much.

Laser power is about 40% @ 1000 mm/min

Great job, I like the look of laser engraved leather.

Thank you. The smell of leather burning isn't nearly as pleasant as the wood smoke. You would think it would have a BBQ smell but it's more of a cow caught in a barn fire odor. I'll have to 1st coat with Sweet Baby Rays next time.

Looks great. I always enjoy seeing people make gifts and products with their machine.
