Plasma practice...

I got a new toy and tried it out on some 1/4" plate...

My plan is to hang it on this sign post at our hunting cabin.

Thanks guys!!!

I cut the drawing out of a big sheet of paper and traced it on the metal with a sharpie marker.
I was way off when I actually cut it but while looking at it it needed some tweaking. I used a game cam photo of the 8 point as a model.
I am going to clean up the slag from the back side and shoot it with Rustoleum "Bronze" paint.

very nice

I use a grease pencil for marking. Easier to see than a sharpie.

chopper5/chuck where did you come up with your flamed logo??? kewl!!!

[RoadRnnr69]

I'll have to try the grease pencil, does it melt when you put the heat to it?

[BadgerWelds]

Nice work with the plasma. Nice machine also....... But what I really like is the Mopar shop! Nice looking shop from what I can see.

I use it as a cut line so it evapourates.

[RoadRnnr69]

Here it is ground, chain welded on and painted...

VERY COOL!! What are the dimensions on that thing? In the last photo it seems much bigger than the first one.

That is a very nice machine you have there, I'm DYING to get me one lol!

[RoadRnnr69]

Thanks!!!
It is approximately 24" x 24".

The sig pic was my car in my freind's shop, I changed the pic to one of my shop...

[RoadRnnr69]

Installed my new sign...

[Wildcat]

Nice job.

Thats cool, makes me wish I already had my plasma cutter. I'm still on the fence, don't know which one I should get. At least I have narrowed it down to the Miller, Thermal Dynamics or the Hypertherm.

One bad a$# car by the way.

[RoadRnnr69]

Thanks!!!

I wasn't sure which to get the first time. I started with Miller Spectrum Thunder which is the same as the Spectrum 125C today.
I just sold it last week!!
This new one is awesome!!!! After trying the other one I learned what I wanted and what I wanted it to do.
If I ever get caught up I am going to finish this car next. I painted it 5 years ago and haven't touched it since!!!
