Splinter, yes, I saw the merit in that right off.  Unfortunately I am still in the confused stage of getting a laser engraver, I'm interested though and have started looking at them.  There are so many in my price range I was overwhelmed and had some sort of attack, Yikes.  I don't know anyone around here that has one either.  I am still deciding how to proceed.  For one thing, my holes were too deep so I cut new segments.  And on and on....
