Making stencils

I decided to make some stencils to label some equipment for the
studio at work
After trying to cut them by hand on a piece of cardboard and then ink
them in with a marker pen I realised the error of my ways.
Yes, a bad craftsman (I) blames their tools, but really I blame myself

I thought about what it would be like to have the proper machine tools.
Why dont Epson make a desktop stencil cutter. Ok so a quick look at
Prof Gershenfelds article on the tech for FAB show the base model
laser cutter starting at $10,000 + Even the RolandDGA hobby pro/am
ones at $3000+

Oh well. Theres a challenge. Reflecting on the drawbot, the paintbot- how about the cutbot? (cuthbot)
