Crafting Memories with Precision: Leon’s Story with the Longer B1 40W

For Leon Leskovar, creativity has always been more than a pastime—it’s a way to make people smile. What began as a simple love for crafting and personalized gifts gradually evolved into a meaningful small business, powered by passion, precision, and the right technology.

From Passion to Purpose

“Our journey began with a simple love for crafting and personalized gifts,” Leon shares. “What started as a hobby soon turned into a small business, fueled by positive feedback and growing demand.”

Leon and his team wanted to create items that hold emotion and meaning—wooden keychains, pet memorial plaques, and custom engraved gifts that tell a story. Instead of chasing mass production, they focused on quality, creativity, and attention to detail.

Why They Chose the LONGER B1 40W

When it came time to choose a laser engraver, Leon turned to LONGER B1 40W for its power, accuracy, and reliability.

“We chose Longer lasers for their precision and reliability, allowing us to create unique engraved items with confidence,” Leon explains.

With 40 watts of laser power, the B1 delivers the cutting strength needed for thick wood and durable materials—while maintaining the fine engraving detail that makes every piece unique. It’s the perfect balance for creators who value both performance and craftsmanship.

The Emotional Side of Laser Engraving

Among all the projects Leon has completed, one stands out vividly—a custom memorial plaque for a customer’s beloved pet.

“They sent us a blurry photo and a short message, hoping we could make something nice,” Leon recalls. “We spent hours adjusting the image, testing settings, and perfecting every line.”

The result was a touching, one-of-a-kind piece that captured the pet’s spirit perfectly. When the customer received it, they were moved to tears—and so was Leon’s team.

That experience showed them the deeper power of laser engraving: it’s not just about precision—it’s about preserving memories and creating something emotionally lasting.

A Little Humor Along the Way

Of course, not every engraving day is serious business. Leon laughs when recalling some fun experiments:

“We once accidentally engraved a mirror while testing power settings—thankfully it survived! And yes, we even tried lasering a banana just to see what would happen. Spoiler: it smelled weird, but it worked!”

These light-hearted moments remind Leon and his team that creativity is also about exploration and play—pushing boundaries just to see what’s possible.

Building a Brand Around Meaning

Today, Leon’s small business continues to grow steadily, creating personalized, meaningful gifts that connect with customers across different occasions—birthdays, weddings, memorials, and more.

Each product is designed, engraved, and finished with care. For Leon, the LONGER B1 40W isn’t just a machine—it’s a creative partner that empowers imagination and craftsmanship.

“We’re not aiming for mass production. Our focus is on quality, creativity, and making people smile through meaningful, handmade products.”

💡 Leon’s Takeaway for Aspiring Creators

“Find joy in the process. Every engraving tells a story—sometimes it’s a laugh, sometimes it’s a memory. But every project teaches you something new.”

A Spark of Creativity, A Legacy of Emotion

Leon’s journey with the LONGER B1 40W beautifully illustrates how technology and artistry can come together to create something truly personal.

From crafting keepsakes to preserving memories, his story is a powerful reminder that behind every engraved line lies a story worth telling.
