I'm going to hang it from a necklace and call it my bunny bling!

These are my first ever attempts with a plasma cutter, freehand no less. Damn it's hard to cut a clean line when you can't see clearly but I'm happy with the results anyway. These were just for fun to get a feel for how the thing performs. One is thin sheet metal and the other is thicker iron plate. I found that with the iron plate if I move quickly I can etch the design in and not cut completely through. I can't wait to play with this some more.

On another note, my first ever weld was absolutely perfect. Seems I've found another talent. :-) I'm looking forward to making some art things I've had in my head for a while, now that I'm acquiring the skills. Many thanks to the the fine folks at Department of Spontaneous Combustion.
