How to remove laser cut parts without removing the rest of the acrylic
Say you have a laser cutter and want to use an entire sheet of acrylic, say 24 x 18 inches like is capable on the Epilog Helix 24 60-watt laser cutters we have available at Tech Shop in Detroit, Michigan. If you are cutting some initial test pieces and don't want to remove the entire sheet of acrylic (removal would throw off the alignment of the laser and subsequent parts wouldn't quite match up perfectly) then you can use this quick and easy method to remove parts from the master acrylic sheet. This method is super easy and utilizes parts and equipment that should be on hand at every Tech Shop location. 
Roll a wet/dry vac over to the laser-cutter area, and acquire a single coffee filter and some tape (I used painter's tape that I had on hand). Put the coffee filter over the mouth of the vacuum attachment, and tape securely in place. Toothbrush Subscriptions Sends You Fresh Toothbrushes on a Schedule

Classic 1950s Toy Glider- The Flicka
For our Technologies class we have to build gliders to demonstrate aerodynamic lift. The glider our teacher decided to teach us to make is the Keil Kraft Flicka, a model from the late 50s. It is a simple, light and tough glider that can take lots of abuse and still fly far. If you like this project please vote for me in the Vintage Contest.
