When we got the Lazor at NYCR, Adam discovered that Moleskin’s have PVC (not good) in the leather and lazering such a thing could be harmful to your health and might even harm small puppies! (Gasp!)

I wanted to Lazer the NYTimes “T” into my notebook so I had to take an alternate route. Very simply, I just cut out a “T” on the Epilog Lazor and then pressed it in a vice between a couple of pieces of wood for 20 mins or so. Looks pretty neat if I may say so myself. “Fire the lazzzzor!”

    If you pressed into a “vice” for that length of time, did the police get you? I suspect you used a “vise” to press the material. Eh?

    Do you mean Moleskine? It’s an Italian name that does not sound like “mole skin”. Neat project. Do it justice with proper spelling.

    Way to screw up a meme, cancer. Also, 1 and 2.
