When translations go wrong!

I got bored and wanted to see what online translation can do with a picture.

Looking for ideas? Need a pattern? Using Google or Bing?

Looking for ideas? Need a pattern? Using Google or Bing?
Here is a better idea. Continue reading at your own risk!

Long story short, went looking for a laser project for a friend. Kept getting links to Pinterest. Decided that I would give it a try after avoiding it for years. Guess what? They have more of what you are looking for than any search engine! I do warn you, be very careful! You will spend hours and not know it. Do not say I have not warned you! Now go to Pinterest and type in laser cut projects and get burning! (you do have to step away from the computer and go to the laser sometime) Oh yea, don't forget to eat and shower sometime.

Here is an example of a site I found from Pinterest. It has some great Christmas SVG files

I have had these ornaments around for awhile and been wanting to try them out on the laser. My wife added the color touches. They are glass.

I have a project at work and to get everyone involved, I am making personalized pencils. Here are the test ones. They turned out decent so I am going to present them to management for approval. These are cheap dollar store pencils BTW.
