Everything you always wanted to know about lasers... come to our October meeting


Sin City Woodworkers, a Vegas valley social and networking group committed to serious (and not so serious!) woodworking discussions, meet on the third Wednesday of each month to share everything from techniques and ideas to information about local suppliers and much more. Our next meeting is scheduled for this coming Wednesday, October 18, at 7:00 and will be held at Woodcraft of Las Vegas,  5220 West Charleston Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89146.


If you’ve attended our last few meetings, you know we’ve gone down a rabbit hole with laser discussions.  Our guest speaker this week will be Rick Ratayczak, of Castle Craft Furniture, 






who will speak about lasers - the different types, what to look for when purchasing one, how to use them (software wise) and much more. Better yet - Rick is bringing his XTool D1, which is a 10 watt diode laser, to demonstrate how a laser works. 




He’ll be lasering a couple of things, and has a ton of knowledge to share about these amazing tools. If you’ve been considering adding a laser to your arsenal, you’ll definitely want to attend this meeting!



We’ll also be displaying our entries for the “Nativity” contest we discussed last month. 




Partnering with Lighthouse Charities - we challenged our members to come up with Nativity scenes that Lighthouse will be able to decorate and sell at their upcoming holiday fundraiser. First prize is $100, second is $50 and third is $25 - we hope we get some amazing entries!


With the laser discussion AND the Nativity contest, holding a Show and Tell is iffy - but we’ll try!


As always, the public is welcome to attend our meetings, so members - please feel free to bring a guest along. If you have questions or need directions, call my studio at (702) 672-8981.


See you Wednesday!
