REVIEW – The first laser engraver I ever used was the LaserPecker LP5, which I reviewed in June 2024. I loved it, and it sparked my interest in laser engraving. Recently, LaserPecker introduced the Safety Enclosure accessory for the LP5 and sent me one to review. This review will focus on the Safety Enclosure. If you want to learn more about the LP5 and its functionality, please check out my earlier review.

REVIEW – I live on the corner of my subdivision, and there’s an annoying sign spotlight that shines right into my yard. I’ve used blackout curtains in my bedroom for years, and they do a nice job, but having to open and close them all the time can be a pain; I know first-world problems. Enter the Tokblind Motorized Blackout Roller Shades. I recently received a set of these blinds to try out for myself. Did they make my life easier and, more importantly, block out all of that annoying light?

REVIEW – I was bitten badly by the laser engraving bug when I reviewed my first laser engraver, the LaserPecker LP5. It’s a great portable machine, as I said in my review. However, the more I used it, the more I wanted something larger. The xTool P2S is such a machine. I recently got my hands on the P2S and a bunch of accessories to try from xTool. As a laser engraving newcomer, it was all a little intimidating but a heck of a lot of fun. Come with me as I go on my laser engraving adventure.

However, I wanted something a little lighter and different. The Kemimoto is such a vest, and it sports a few new and unique features that make it an attractive option. Kemimoto was also kind enough to send me a pair of their heated gloves. My hands, especially my fingers, are always cold, so I was excited to try them out.
