Laser Engraving An Acrylic Christmas Tree

This is a how-to video on lasering an acrylic Christmas tree. Here are the different phases:

1.- Starting with an idea on paper
2.- Transposed this sketch to Corel Draw
3.- Resulting output file is sent to the CO2 laser engraver for cutting.
4.- Two edge-lit 1/8 inch acrylic sheets were used for this project (32×20 inch). Each sheet takes over 30 minutes to cut out the various shapes.
5.- Assembly phase. The pieces are assembled onto a threaded rod on a acrylic base.

The completed tree is about 16 inches in height and 12 inches in diameter at the bottom. The edge-lit acrylic looks fantastic in sunlight, or lit by LED lights at night.
