Santa Claus brought me a MIG welder!

Well I must have been a good girl this year cause Santa brought me a Millermatic 140 MIG welder. I was more than surprised. So now I've got my plasma cutter and welder and have my first designs ready to be put onto steel. I just have to get the workshop in good order so I don't burn down the garage and we'll be all set!

Are there any books or magazines relating to Metal Art?

So there's some money burning a hole in my pocket and the Miller Spectrum 675 should be in the garage any day now (I can just feel it!). I've started cutting out any neat pictures of designs or ideas that I see in regular home decorating magazines and I've started a scrapbook of these ideas so that I can find them all very easily (something I'm sure not very many metal artists would even think of doing). I'm not planning on stealing anyones original artwork, but rather just the concept of the art and make it my own (just wanted to be clear that I appreciate copyright protection!).

Metal art is my newest hobby

Well like many metal enthusiasts before me, I am new to metal art and new to this site. My initial plan was to get into plasma cutting using a CNC table, but all my hard research is making my head spin. so I think I'm going to stick to freeform plasma cutting. I actually feel a bit better about that and think that I can be more creative (although don't get me wrong, when I see the lovely signs, gates, and other images that are done on a cnc table I still would love to have one, it's just that the cost isn't for me at this time.)
