Laser Cut Acrylic & Wood Products

Laser cut and engraved birch wood and acrylic notepad holder with a custom engraved face

Custom CO2 laser cutting and vector engraving in acrylic and wood. The example pairs both materials in a single piece: a custom dry-erase board made from wood and acrylic.

  • Custom display stands, edge-lit LED signage (up to 8" × 11"), key chains, and custom faceplates.
  • CO2 Laser Cut or CNC machined for precision panel cutouts and custom enclosures.

Game Console Restoration

Game Boy Advance SP on a repair bench with a replacement shell fitted

Shell replacement and hinge work on a clamshell handheld. Brittle old plastics get swapped for a fresh shell rather than glued back together, which is what actually makes these things last.

  • Restoration of 8-bit and 16-bit legacy electronics, classic gaming consoles, and handheld systems.
  • Upgrades and modifications to extend the life of vintage equipment.

Custom Modifications

White Xbox One S console with an illuminated green Xbox sphere logo installed in the side vent

Discrete LED installations built into existing vents and panels, wired cleanly and powered from the existing supply. Small, safe changes that can make a piece look like it was designed that way.

  • Backlit logos on consoles.
  • Acrylic replacement covers.
  • Component replacement such as Hall-effect sensors.

Electronics Kits

Assembled electronics kits, demo boards, and bagged component sets laid out for hobby clubs

Complete build-at-home kits, bagged and labelled with a printed parts list, so a club or classroom can put together working hardware and actually learn how it works. Work with us for ideas around a project or kit idea you have in mind.

  • Ships as a full kit with every component bagged and labelled.
  • Fully assembled versions are available as a guide.

Small-Batch Production

Small-batch run of custom PCBs, printed housings, and assembled cable harnesses on a workbench

Short production runs handled in-house - boards, printed enclosures, and harnesses built and tested together. Good for the first run of a product, or for the run that proves a design is right before committing to quantity.

  • Custom electronics, PCB manufacturing oversight, and short-run assembly.

Mechanical Refurbishment

Restored vintage Facit electric typewriter with black and grey body and red accent keys

Full mechanical restoration of vintage equipment, like this Facit electric typewriter. The goal is always a piece that runs properly again, not just one that photographs well.

  • Cleaning, lubrication, alignment, and cosmetic work on the shell.
  • RetroBrite plastics to brighten old, yellowed plastics to fresh white again.
  • Diagnostic troubleshooting and board-level component repair on electromechanical devices.

PCB Design & Layout

KiCad PCB layout showing copper layers, component footprints, and connector pads

From a napkin drawing to a populated, tested board. Layouts are done in KiCad through to a production-ready gerber set, and every design is checked for clearances, trace widths, and current handling before it reaches the fabricator.

  • Schematic design, custom PCB layout, and prototype assembly.
  • Solutions with low-power microcontrollers (RP2040 / Pi Pico, ESP32, Arduino) and custom firmware development.
  • Reverse engineering protocols to extend hardware functionality or bridge communication gaps.

3D CAD Design

CAD model of a mechanical bracket with mounting flange, ribs, and counterbored holes

Parametric models built with real wall thicknesses, fasteners, and tolerances rather than shapes that only render nicely. Files are handed over ready to print or machine.

  • 3D modeling for enclosures, custom brackets, and mechanical assemblies.

3D Printing & CNC Machining

Maker workstation with printers, filament spools, and a CNC unit on a lit bench

In-house printers and a CNC setup covering rapid prototypes through to small production runs, so a part can go from model to finished piece without leaving the workshop.

  • In-house 3D printing for rapid prototyping and small-batch production runs.
  • Light CNC machining for precision panel cutouts and custom enclosures.

Example: Holiday Art Piece

Laser cut wooden locomotive mounted on illuminated model track as a decorative art piece

A commissioned wooden locomotive art piece—laser-cut, engraved, and lit along the track with warm and colored LEDs, plus working headlights. Built as a freestanding display piece with a folding stand on the back, it toggles from white light for year-round display to festive colors for the holidays.

Rear of the wooden locomotive art piece showing laser cut edges, etched branding, and the LED control board

The back of the piece, showing the plywood construction, the etched logo, the folded stand, and the small control board that runs the lighting. Wiring is kept neat and routed where it stays out of sight.
