how do you guys like my bird?the wife asked me to make her a metal heron.  we see them all the time behind our house.  it will be mounted with the legs drilled into a piece of granite rock.  i thought about drilling some extra holes in the granite and making some steel marsh grass.  what do you think?.......Rich Attached ImagesLincoln 255XT Power Mig                                                                    Lincoln Precision Tig 225Hypertherm Powermax 30

Reply:Sam,  i took a piece of cardboad and drew the head.  then cut it out and used it as a stencil on a piece of 1/4 steel.  pulled out the plasma cutter and let it do its thing.  then i cleaned it up on my bench grinder.Lincoln 255XT Power Mig                                                                    Lincoln Precision Tig 225Hypertherm Powermax 30
