I am in Redwood City, so I can deliver it to Menlo for the enterprising Plasma Cutter.<br><br>I think boxshop has a CNC plasma cutter in Hunters Point. I can ask Ray over there.<br><br>If I remember correctly, it's about 4' x 4' with a little extra (it's an odd cut, which is why we would need to cut it, regardless.) I'll get the exact measurements tonight.<br>
<br>Are people excited about this? Who has ideas for it?<br><br>I can help author. I used to teach the CNC Plasma class at Techshop, but I'm no longer a member. Anyone who makes a simple vector graphic, I can turn it in to a CNC path for easy cutting (I do all the lead in's by hand and optimise the path manually using inkscape.)<br>
<br>Here are some of the pieces I've made:<br><a href="http://www.coreyfro.com/sign/techshop3.jpg">http://www.coreyfro.com/sign/techshop3.jpg</a><br><a href="http://www.coreyfro.com/sign/coreyfro_sign_front.jpg">http://www.coreyfro.com/sign/coreyfro_sign_front.jpg</a><br>
