i'm surprised that i had not started this one earlier. during the last patch of nice weather, took off all of the bottle opener hardware, and the hanging twine, and took them for a ride on the helical eraser (planer). i then did up all the designs for use on the laser. i started lasering them last night. got all of the bacon, and beer thirty ones done, and started on the bottle bass ones, before calling it a day. once done, a fresh coat of shellac, and the hardware goes back on.
this one has been fun. almost all the way through, and the laser software was acting up. recreated the grbl for the machine, and that must have fixed the problem. all openers have been lasered, and shellaced. now just to add the hangers on back, and add the opener hardware, and done with this one.
