Very nice! I figured out on these, that I can nest the parts tighter than the dxf comes. I did a spider, and was surprised at how much space it took up.

Looks Cool Dave! I've got a couple I cut awhile back that I have to weld up for my grandson.

Re: Jake
That's what I did too. I can get over 4 of the velociraptor on one sheet so the cost of steel is quite small. They're quite easy to put together too. I took the velociraptor to work and got quite a few oohs and aahhs and nice estimates of what it's worth.Doc Hollywood wrote:Very nice!

Of course nobody pulled their wallet out

I did the same with a spider. I've had a good size spider assembled for about a year, and no takers. I'm going to try to sell it again this year during craft show season!

Re: Jake
Thanks. They cut and assemble real nice! I wasn't planning on trying to sell these but a local weld shop owner wants one of each. Glued all of these together with Loctite Ultra gel super glue. Planning on making some larger ones out of 12 gage and tack welding them.

Re: Jake
Those are totally awesome. When I get a chance I am going to build some for the yard.
