    That would be way cool man. I appreciate it. I’d like to see if I can make it a little different than DMZ so I don’t feel like I’m straight up taking their product lol.

    Just quickly threw something together to give to my wife for Valentines Day. Little cutesy thing that she really liked. It’s aluminum. I’ll have to use a file to clean up the dross on the back side a little better and give it a nice little chamfer. But I’m just really stoked on how awesome this little plasma table is!

    I’m not exactly sure and I ain’t gonna judge anybody but I just wouldn’t feel right copying someone’s else’s product exactly. Would have to make some tweaks to make it my own

    I’ve been watching your stuff since you posted that you got your welder and you’ve improved so much so quickly!

    Practice practice practice! I’m really passionate about hobby welding so I find excuses to weld. It really helps a lot. Thanks for the kind words.

    Heck yeah bro I hear you. Once you find a technique that works for you, it’s like an AHA moment! And the practice definitely helps just like anything else. Melting metal together is super cool, fun, and rewarding. Making something useful out of raw materials is a feeling like no other.

    Okay perfect! No rush at all dude. I appreciate that. Enjoy the time with your lady!
