Help the arts through lasers!

For the longest time I resisted the technology. 
3d printers
laser cutters/printers  
Well ive come to a realization it will help me out a lot if I just accept I need these. Primarily the laser cutter. My hands arent what they used to be. Mild arthritis comes and goes. I make many things from books, sculpture, leather crafts, wood crafts and it does take a toll on the hands. 
With a laser cutter I will be able to give my hands a rest and also cut down the time it takes for me to get some projects. Were talking 6 hours down to 1 hour! 
A win win situation.

One problem...

The Glowforge is way out of my price range.

So all I am asking is a little help to support the arts. 

Im also looking into the "Dremmel" Laser Printer. Not too much data on that as of yet.

Heres one of my books to show you what I love to do. Its a passion to create things. I wish i could do it every minute of every day. <3 

I make these hard bound books look like they are wrapped in leather but due to costs I do this all in paper. 

I will also be creating more elaborate books than this as well as keepsake boxes and game card boxes. 

Ill even try my hand at leather work with the lazer since it seems to be the new upcoming thing. 

The thing about an artist is. Art is our lives without it we cease to exist. I want to live forever :)
