- By Justin Laser
In this video I’ll show you how to engrave a simple Memento Mori coin AND cut a leather pouch to go with it.

You will be prompted to sign up for my e-mail newsletter The Laser Dispatch. Once you are signed up, the download will happen instantly!
The files were tested in both Lightburn and xTool Creative Space 2.0. Please verify the dimensions of the leather pouch after importing to make sure the pieces are to scale.
If you are using Lightburn – before importing the SVG, navigate to “Lightburn Settings” -> Import/Export -> Select 72 DPI Illustrator. This will ensure the scale is set correctly for the files I designed.

Need a laser?
I always highly recommend the brand I use, OMG Laser! The model I have is the 60w JPT MOPA but you create this style of work with any of the available options. Use discount code OMGJL for $100 off your laser. If you have any specific questions reach out to Richard the owner and tell him Justin sent you. He will get you setup right.
Make sure you join the semi-official OMG Laser Facebook Group for support and inspiration if you decide to get one!
