    Angry rooster

    You can do it a couple different ways depending on the look you’re trying to achieve. Normally I weld a small bolt to the back of the top layer and then put holes in the rest of the layers so they all lay together. If you want to space them apart just add a nut to the bolt in between the layers.

    Battleworn distressed finish

    Thanks man. This was super easy. Hit the edges and faces with a 50 grit disc on a cutoff tool, rattle can it with flat black, then come back the next day and hand sand it down with a red scotchbrite pad till it looks like you want it to. Then semi gloss or flat clear.

    Angry rooster

    Had a parent ask me to recreate her daughters college logo. Ended up being 11 layers. I designed it in 3 sections, the oval, the rooster, and the lettering/feet. I broke out the airbrush for feather shadowing and some foot work. One of the more challenging pieces I’ve done lately

    Am I missing something

    It’s doable, if he’s willing to make some concessions with the design. Also depends on how big of a square he wants it in. I’ve been doing quite a bit of custom design work for people lately. Email me Jason@nwaPLASMA.com if you want to discuss. Thx

    Nesting instructional for both the Cad and machine

    I have encountered the same. Nesting has never done as good a job as my eye-crometer. I would like to see someone post some info on it.

    Yes, multiple layers and then contour the edges with a 3” disc on a cut off tool.

    Honing my artistic skills...

    Haven’t posted in a while. Been busy. Heres one of my current projects. Really happy with the detail I was able to get in the wings and sword handle. This is a 24” recreation of the Army Quartermaster Corps insignia.

    I’d use a bar and sleeve as opposed to an actual hinge.

    Optimizing Cut Quality

    A bad ground to your material can cause those issues.
