Still dont have the steadiest hand yet, but i am improving some.  Got alot more to learn. Ive only been using this Plasma Pony for a week or so.  The machine works great, just the operator needs practice. Questions and comments welcome...

Reply:I meant to comment in my thread (not sure if I did) but that is a pretty cool little squirrel! I forgot I had an old saw blade in the shed, I might get the plasma on it this weekend.
Reply:Looks good to me, and you're only gonna get better.
Reply:It's one of those things that takes practice.Your doing good now, keep going you should only get better.  Got some glasses for my plasma today so I get to start working on that too.My hands are a bit shakey so we'll see.
Reply:Thanks everyone, I plan on practicing more and more.  I working with some recycled metals instead of cutting up good metal at the moment, broken old metal folding chairs, saw blades, and old lawn mower decks.  Im getting some of the ideals from ebay, I have several that I plan on trying soon.  thanks againJobSmart MIG125Lincoln AC225-SLincoln Pro-Mig 175Dewalt GrindersRidgid ChopsawIR Garage Mate CompressorAny thing worth doing, is worth doing right.

Reply:I like it you should sell those things and recoupe some money for the machine. You have a good eye for art. i have a plasma and don't have the artist ability like you.

Reply:You have a much more steady hand than I do these days.  I used to work as a foreman for a fabrication/erection company and I was the one called anytime a O/A cut needed to be done.  In my younger days my cuts needed very little clean up.  I wish I still had a steady hand but age seems to take that away.
