Can you give any tips to other makers on how to beat this feeling?<br><a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/MakersHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MakersHour</span></a><br>A3 I think it’s an integral part of <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/making" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>making</span></a> to be honest. I often tell myself I am such a beginner and know so little I can’t really even be an imposter! Which is imposter imposter syndrome if you will. Perhaps we should turn it round and say we all *deserve* to make and we all deserve to be treated as the experts we actually are. Putting this into practice in my brain is another thing entirely.</p>

Florian 'floe' Echtler<p>I've been intensely side-eyeing the Creality Falcon A1 laser engraver/cutter, particularly since reading this seemingly very honest review (<a href="https://grouchyfarmer.com/2025/06/05/laser-engravers-creality-falcon-a1-review/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">grouchyfarmer.com/2025/06/05/l</span><span class="invisible">aser-engravers-creality-falcon-a1-review/</span></a>) that states you should be able to cut medium-heavy plywood (around 5 - 7 mm).
