Etching Brass with A CO2 Laser // Custom Made Gift

In this video, I’m etching some brass with my CO2 Glowforge laser engraver to make a custom gift. Etching and engraving things with a laser is really fun, and can be a great way to customize a gift, like this journal I gave my mom for Mother’s Day, complete with a laser etched brass label.
