Fun with lasers - pallets

Something lasers are very good at is cutting out fine details. I've been trying a few little experiments to see what I can and can't do. One fun little project was to make up some pallets:

These are straight off the laser with no paint, though the singed look is remarkably realistic, and the dark edges give them good depth. These are made as a lamination of two pieces of cardboard; thicker card for the base, and thinner card for the top. Simply take the two squares, glue them at right angles, then once dry use a sharp knife to cut along half-etched cutting guides. Four cuts later and you a perfect shipping pallet.
