With a fun Christmas behind us I had a chance to sneak out to the shop for a little while to design the cutting files for the sheet metal base. The routed pieces had been glued up just before we broke for the holidays and they look pretty good. A little sanding and they will be ready for the sculpting process. The loading of the steel took longer than the cutting. A CNC plasma table is an awesome thing! Tomorrow I'll do a little grinding and then the assembly will begin. Stay tuned...
