My friend from high school, that was a few years ago, just started laser cutting here in Nova Scotia. Maratime Laser Cutting. I will have to think of something to have them make. Have a look at what you can do. My son has the T-Rex puzzel in wood.

That's what I was thinking about!

One idea I know that's been done before is a stainless front grille cover. I've seen some with flames and the logo of whatever car on them. Might be cool to make a custom olds grille. Maybe something with the rocket logo?

My wife did the eagle and globe wooden puzzle.
