Hey there

[welbornmetalworks]

2 year veteran (NOOB) of CNC always looking to improve my skillset. Looks like this is the place.

I'm running an STV SparX 505 (currently)
Hypertherm Powermax 65 w/ mechanical torch

Here are some examples of my sign work.

Okay ... give us some details. What machine do you own? What sort of things do you make? Welcome to the best forum on the Internet for cnc plasma cutting table owners.

It is obvious you know what you’re doing!

Thanks! Plenty more to learn

[Joe Jones]

Aw, Hell! I think you could teach me a thing or two!

Highly unlikely, but I appreciate the ego stroking.

p.s.
Watched Sound of Freedom opening day. There wasn't a single person in there not wearing red, white or blue and I live in Commiefornia!? What an intense, rage inducing film. Hard to say it was an amazing movie (because of the subject matter) but it was great being stuck in a room of strangers and patriots.

Poly Ticks are verboten here, but that movie made me wish I was 35 years younger with a strong back, and a bank role that would finance my life's mission to gleefully hunt down and brutally murder these animals. I would force them to BEG ME to end their lives.

WMW, very nice work... what is your mounting method for the layered signs? theyre clean!

Ya, all the women were crying and all the men were fired up when it ended. #SHOOTYOURLOCALPEDO

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I weld 1/4-20 barrel nuts on the backside of the top layers and bolt them in through the back.

If they are sandwiched layers, I just use E6000

Nice, I use the barrel nuts too.

Welcome and thanks for posting the pics! Awesome looking work, inspires me to try and do better lol

[Joe Jones]

I have not tried this yet ... but I believe one could slice glue sticks into flat "coins" or short lengths, and heat the metal pieces to bond them. Heat the bottom and place the glue stick segments where you need them, cut to whatever length you require. When that cools, heat the next layer and lay it onto the mounts to allow the glue sticks to adhere to the back of the second layer. Do you think this would work?

It would be an interesting experiment!

I'd be worries about the glue getting soft on hot days and the layers falling off. Also, heating up a painted surface would probably cause finish issues. E6000 works great and is very resilient with heat and cold temperatures.
