Gingerbread - A New Material Category?!?

Anybody tried designing a rotary add on?

I have some spare steppers around, and I was thinking of trying to come up with a rotary style attachment (like you see for Chinese laser cutters). Just wondering if anybody else has started on that at all (no need to duplicate it if it exists elsewhere already).

Laser etch wood dowel ideas needed

I had a friend stop over today and really liked the mpcnc and the laser. He has a small side business that he would like his company name etched on a wood dowel. Anyone have any ideas on how to add a new stepper to rotate the dowel after each line etched? Curt
