	~~Open~~ the ~~GlowForge app~~, and ~~choose~~ "~~Upload a file~~." ~~Upload your SVG.~~		Load a sheet of wood into the Glowforge, and set the material to "Medium Basswood Plywood."

	~~Load a sheet of~~ wood ~~into~~ the ~~Glowforge~~, and ~~set~~ the material ~~to "Medium Basswood Plywood~~."		Make sure there's actually wood under eveything you're cutting out. Set the logo and text to be engraved, and all of the borders to be cut. Otherwise, all the text would actually be cut out of the material.

Otherwise, all~~ the ~~text would actually~~ be ~~cut out of the material~~.		Before cutting anything out, turn on the fan with the button on the right (on top of the GlowForge.) Start the cut from the computer, and you will be prompted to press the button on the let (which will be flashing.)

Once it completes, wait a few seconds for the GlowForge to cool down and the smoke to dissipate before you open it.

Glue four magnets (which are usually in a drawer near the 3D printers) into the two holder pieces. These should just be press fit. Make sure that they are the correct polarity, so that the two pieces stick together.
