    Summary

    What would you say: A complete nativity scene, stable, crib and family, engraved and cut in less then 5 minutes on the M1. Possible? Yes or No?
    This is about how to built a miniature nativity scene (33mm = 1 1/4" wide) from a single wodden dog tag. And yes: It is lasered in less then 5 minutes.
    So if you forgot, that your friends come for christmas, take a wodden dog tag from the material package, laser the nativity scene glue it, grab a bag of homemade cookies and decorate this bag with this nativity scene and you are set. Or if your kids have got a dollhouse: Give them some christmas decoration - they will love it.
    
    Buit here is the story why I did this:
    
    We have a christmas gnome, who lives under our stairs. Every year before christmas he decorates his door and writes a letter to our children. And they are happy. They cannot wait for the day his decoration appears. This time we enhanced the decoration. Besides the christmas tree he now has a nativity scene. I questioned myself if it is possible to build one from a single wodden dog tag. I really love this material and hop that those will be availble in the xTool store, soon. So I searched Etsy and Google but finally decided to start from the scratch. 
    
    For mee this example shows how small designs can be and how precise the M1 is. Can you make a even smaller nativity scene and even faster then this one? let me know!
