    I want that projector in my workshop. Imagine projecting your plans onto the plywood, or checking how things might fit together.

    Sounds like CAD software to me... The projection part is on your monitor.

    It is the laser cutting that is the automation that is different...

    Laser cutting would be a plus, you see a lot of thin plywood cut that way, but way more than I want. My other wish is for Formica with a 1 cm pattern, or 1 inch. I tried a search once, but there are endless patterns to search through. I think it would be nice for work bench tops.

    Do you mean like Marquetry?

    I think that would be extremely interesting and far above my skill...

    Hi John:
    I'm thinking of a work surface like used for sewing:

    Just a quick way to see sizes and check squareness and layout.Carl.
