I just wanted to post a pic of something my future father-in-law and I have been working on. I designed it using a few different programs (mostly Photoshop and Autocad) He cut out of 12ga steel and I'm gonna have it powder coated black or yellow. 15" Diameter. This is right after cut out before he cleaned off the slag.

You just haven't found your medium yet.

Thanks guys! I was pretty happy with the way it turned out.

The steel is ~1/8" thick but will burn through if your design gets too skinny. I'm not sure how long this took to cut, but there are lots of individual tool paths, so I imagine it took 30 min+/-. I can't wait to get it coated. This was cut using a Plasma Cam table.

Here's another cut with a cross I made:

That's nice work. I've always wanted a reason to pick up/build a plasma cutter. Too many projects...Too little time...

Very nicely done, Sir! I am jealous of your ability.

This comes from one whose shop teacher in high school said I should be arrested for all the wood that I murdered in class . . .

I just got off the phone with the man himself. I encouraged him to stop by and read the kind words you guys have written and the positive feedback. :up:

It would be cool to have some powder coated next week. We shall see.

I would love one of these for my man cave...unfortunately I have to sell my condo, and then buy a house, and then convince my wife to let me make one of the rooms a man cave first....

Nice work though!
