Re: Puzzle dinosaur

i like it...i was at an upscale clothing shop in Georgetown D.C. with my wife on saturday am and they had the coolest hand made counter top.....it had angle iron with all the mill scale on it welded up as a frame but they must have sprayed it with a satin clear coat and when you touched it your hands stayed clean. it made for a very nice patina.

Re: Puzzle dinosaur

Thanks for the replies.

forhire: I have the layout for that Trex but dam that's quite a few more cuts than the triceratops. Of course I'm probably going to tackle it next.

Re: Puzzle dinosaur

Cool! Good idea for a fund raiser. I've got a full size buck head puzzle made of thin wood that I want to replicate in steel.
