Welcome to Brazos Laser Works! Home to Waco's Custom Engraving Marketplace

Hi Friends,
Thanks for visiting!

UPDATE April 2026-
Thank you for your patience! Spare time has not been my friend lately, but I have been busy learning new techniques and creating custom items for people, so at least the time has been productive.

I have a few pictures below of some items I've been working on. It would help if I was used to always taking pictures of items in production besides just the completed items!
If you would like to email me with ideas for items you would like to see about having done, write me here and include information on what you would like to have done, pictures of what you would like to have engraved if you already have that, and a good number and time to call you back at. I'll be in touch as soon as possible!

I am working on getting the store setup to list items I will have available to be customized. It will have the ability to enter and preview your customization for items in the catalog, plus other special items you may already own that you want customized. But until then. just write me and let me know what you'd like!

My Facebook page will be next to be updated. It is not a priority yet, so check here for more current updates.

My Goal: To provide the service of laser engraving for your
keepsakes  ,   mementos  ,

and remembrance items for those who have passed...



    to help you Make Your Memories Permanent.
(and yes, there is now a little ® after my tagline "Making Memories Permanent" in my logo!  It has now been registered and officially approved as my trademark!)

First engraving! Needed a little cleanup from the smoke. Didn't do any adjustments to the logo to make it clearer, but I don't think it's too bad for #1! :-)

These are some different things I've been working on, in no particular order:

1 2

Sign done for the head of the Machine shop where I work. The printing should have been a little darker but I did not adjust for the metal being thinner than the previous pieces I had practiced on. This was done on a 1/8" thick piece of scrap aluminum he gave me, using a metal marking spray which makes a permanent mark.
Great local sawmill. I got this piece of Red Cedar from him and he'll be a good source for real wood materials for signs, plaques and any other ideas you might have. This was also the first piece of real wood I engraved, so I think not too bad and now know more about how to improve on the next one.

Proof design that will go on a powder coated tumbler. This sample is on a white ceramic tile that was painted black.

Test engraving of the sign for a nearby school.

Test sign for the area in the company where I work at. Told my supervisor I would make him one as the company owner doesn't like the nickname the area has and this will give it a good, official sounding name.

Small test sign on a piece of live back-side Red Cedar for a co-worker's family ranch. Will be added to and a lot larger. This was just to get dad interested in it.

Part of some work for a local pool hall I am working with. I will be working with them on doing custom engraving for their customers and for the custom pool cues they make.
Early test engraving on a stock game cue stick.

Here are some of the possibilities that can be done from some of my engraving "family" and some of what they have been able to do with a little more experience.
I'll be able to engrave in many different types of items, including wood, stone, glass, acrylic, metal or leather objects, limited only by your imagination (with only a few exceptions).

My Favorite
I saw this engraving in person, on an 8x10 black tile, and my hand
was 2 inches from it when I realized it really was an engraving!

Just some things from the creative minds of my laser family!
