    First plasma cutting experience

    Got a Lotos LTP5000D and so far it works very well.
    I am using a HF 21 gal compressor, chose oil over oil-less for longevity and less noise.

    First project was to make a mountain sculpture for my wife who loves to rock climb and spend time in mountains.
    Second one is a key holder.

    Looking forward to making complex geometric structures by cutting out pieces from sheets.

    Wow, crazy beautiful hand plasma art! Thanks for sharing it.

    I will stick to hand-drawn plasma cutting only, CNC is nice but not too much into it. Can't even imagine a CNC in my one-car garage.

    Would that Cole gate be on one of the Buster Cole ranches (of quarter horse fame)?
