Information
Custom engraved slate coasters featuring the exact location where a love story started—complete with names, date, and a tiny heart marking the moment.
Created after a truly heroic amount of information extraction, these turned a vague “please help” into something deeply personal, slightly dramatic, and very permanent (just like good decisions and laser burns).
Project Story:
These coasters were phase one of the “I don’t know what I want” saga.
After multiple rounds of gentle interrogation, we finally landed on something meaningful:
→ The exact location where they got engaged
→ Their names
→ The date everything changed
Once I had just enough information to work with, it became a mission of turning a real place into a clean, readable, laser-friendly map… which is way harder than it sounds but absolutely worth it.
Instruction
1
Step1: Gather Intel + Build the Map

Preview
- Extract location details (coordinates or exact address).
- Generate a map layout and simplify it into clean linework.
- Import into LightBurn and adjust for engraving contrast and readability.
- Once everything looks clean, send to xTool.
- Add a small heart or marker to highlight the exact location—it makes the piece feel intentional and personal
2
Step2: Jig Setup + Engraving Process
- Create or position a jig to hold coasters consistently.
- Measure placement carefully to align designs across all pieces or do one coaster at a time if easier.
- Set correct distance/focus for slate
- Run engraving and watch for consistency across each coaster
3
Step3: Seal + Finish
- Clean off any dust or residue.
- Apply a glossy sealant to enhance contrast and deepen the look of the engraving.
- Let dry completely before handling or stacking.
