    Today I thought I'd take you guys into my process of rapid prototyping the Jigsaw Puzzle Coffee Table with the Glowforge Pro! I launched it on Kickstarter of July 2020 and raised $102,894. Using the 3D laser CNC machine, I was able to come up with the idea and launch the product by building my own product prototype for the campaign.

    I took a different approach to this video to hopefully give a little bit of insight into my thought process behind prototyping and launching a product.

    Mate, I am looking at the Glowforge exactly to do this. Some questions
    1. I saw your image of the table prototyping, so obviously the table is much much bigger than the Glowforge, so how did you get all the pieces made on that one single piece of wood?
    2. Where do you source the wood and other things?
    3. Where or how did you design the actual bottom of the table, legs and underlying grid?
    4. Did you print the underlying grid too?
    5. what is the purpose of the intake slot on the printer? do I need the pro or is the plus enough?
    6. I am assuming you didnt just get huge amounts of wood and run them through the printer?
    Thank you!
