Hi Martin,
When I don't pay any attention to your forum lots of things happen! I am impressed with what you have achieved with the milling cutters and if I didn't have a laser cutter I could be sorely tempted by that - will it cut brass easily?
I have been using shellac a lot for a couple of years now and usually buy it in 1 litre containers, when making things in card it stiffens it very well so I tend to be very liberal with it - you can never apply too much. I laser engrave brickwork on 0.2mm card (ordinary office card) and it retains the mortar lines regardless of how much I apply. Currently the one I have in the workshop is this one and I spent about £15 to get it if I recall but I have had it for a year or more now.
Very interesting work and I will follow with great interest.
Ralph
