Making Custom Leather Pistol Grips for a 1911 - WeCreat Vision 40W

Special thanks to WeCreat for sending me one of their "Vision" 40 watt laser engraver and cutters for me to review! I used it to scratch-build custom leather grip panels from wood and leather for my Rock Island Armory 1911.

Unfortunately, I only had one stingray hide to make a grip panel with. I'll need to buy another. I WAS able to make a complete set of the tooled veg-tan leather grips -- which was my original intent anyway, along with a matching tooled holster. Stay tuned for that video!

Anyway, my honest opinion is the WeCreat Vision is an excellent laser. I think of it as a more compact, diode version of my xTool P2. If you're doing leather work for a business or side hustle and need a machine to increase your production (or just the precision of your cuts) I would definitely recommend it! I'll be keeping this one tucked in a corner of my shop.... It's getting crowded in there! btw, I especially like the smoke/fume extractor; I'll be using it on every machine I run from here out.
