Laser Last Week – 6-24-12

Welcome to Laser Last Week where we explore some of the new information being published around the web dealing with laser engraving and assorted services.  The focus is on the unique and remarkable, not the mass produced commodity.  This week there were 4 links that were interesting enough to make the list. If you have found any that I have missed, please let me know in the comments.  Enjoy.
