Cut some vintage motorcycle figures out of 1/8" steel with my home made CNC plasma table. I put as much detail as I could fit into the 19" long shapes.

Those are pretty cool! Are you drawing those by hand?

Pretty much! I'm manually tracing over a photo of the actual bike in CorelDraw, and then converting them to dxf files before cutting them out. Here's one after I applied some paint to it:

All of those look the way a motorcycle should look. Really nice!!

I appreciate the kind words, but I just do one of each for my own enjoyment. My business days are behind me.

If you have any hints about plasma cutting, let us know though. I'm sure we have members considering it and could use some education/hints.

Here are some shots of several home-made CNC cutting tables I have put together over the years. Current table on far left sits just outside basement door under deck. I keep it covered with a fire pit cover. Compressor, plasma cutter, and computer are just inside basement door. Cables can be connected in 5 minutes for use.

That's some epic stuff brother! You might consider shipping some of your art over to a few motorcycle museums?
