Using the BYOLC "Build Your Own Laser Cutter" a.k.a. "blackTooth" Laser cutter/engraver kit to engrave a raster image (JPEG) onto glass.  In the video, we were controlling the machine with Mach3, using the z-axis up and down signals to turn the laser on and off, which is why it moves so slowly.  We have since begun experiments with other methods that should be much faster.  More videos to come on that subject. (parts of this video have been sped up)
