Let's talk about the LOKLiK iEngrave size.

I received the standard kit, which is the laser engraver without the cover.

It's lightweight and portable, so that gives me options that I can't do with a heavy machine with the base and cover.

The size is really compact and wonderful for a space-saving creator, at some point you may want a bigger laser cutting bed, but the nearly 12 inch square is perfect for most projects!

If you have never used a laser machine, this is a great beginner friendly laser that will satisfy all your laser needs for years.

ENGRAVE WOODEN SPOONS:

For my first project I am engraving a set of wooden spoons, similar to these on Amazon.

I wanted these to have a fun personal touch so I could give them as a wedding gift to a friend.

I used my ipad and the LOKLiK app to connect my iEngrave and begin engraving.

I set the LOKLiK iEngrave on some cardboard and had the laser engrave the text right on the cardboard.

Then I used a little tacky putty and stuck the wooden spoon right over the top of the engraving, so it lined up perfectly.

Next, I don't think I set the power and speed to quite the right setting, but it was easy to just hit the "start" button on my ipad a second time and the laser engraves in the exact same spot, so you can make the engraving as deep and dark as you want with a few more passes.

I repeated the simple process for all 4 of my wooden spoons and the entire process took about an hour or so.

I was pleased with the results and am impressed with the price to value ratio!

If you've been wanting a laser, this one is highly recommended.

I do hope they update their software to be able to use straight from the computer, but most people use phones, so that seems like maybe something I'll have to adapt to.

There's lots of helpful advice from the LOKLiK community too, so when you buy your iEngrave, be sure to join the official facebook group, so you can ask questions and post successes for others to enjoy.

NOTE: If you are going to cut materials, get the honeycomb riser so you don't cut into your table.
