Hello,
I'm Fernando from Southeast Michigan. Running a Langmuir Systems Crossfire XL with automatic Torch Height Control. Using water table with SterlingCool Plasma Cut Fluid. Thermal Dynamics Cutmaster 40 with Thermal Dynamics 7-7507 single stage air filter at the input of cutter and 2 HP / 20 gallon air compressor. Designing with Inkscape and using Sheetcam for G-Code generation.

I've had the machine for about a year and a half and I'm currently developing this hobby into a metal wall art business. Learning curve has been interesting.

Welcome aboard Fernando! Langmuir makes some nice stuff, and your setup sounds first rate. Perhaps share some photos to show us some of the projects you are working on or have cut.

Thanks for posting these - great work!! I particularly like this one, being into bikes and all. That's one I haven't seen before.
In fact, I think I will cut this one for a friend of mine who both track races and commutes on the streets with his various bikes.

VERY nice.

I've always enjoyed making parts for money, that's a good way to go too.

Good luck.
