The appearance of plasma cutouts can be greatly enhanced by incorporating some of the designs into scrollwork and various other projects. Plasma offers virtually unlimited possibilities in the two-dimensional world of metal fabricating. When plasma cut, silhouettes are designed into three-dimensional projects such as the peacock wallflower holder shown right they take on a completely new perspective. The use of silhouettes over the top of framed photographs, backlit or otherwise, creates a very nice effect. In the case of the wheelbarrow below, several pieces were cut and tack welded together to produce a great looking project.

PlasmaCam sells first class art packages on disc ready to run on any of their machines. The use of this ready-made artwork makes producing impressive projects much easier, especially for those with somewhat limited drawing skills. Because you can make almost immediate use of this art in whatever item your making, your efforts and skills can be directed toward fabricating the other parts needed. Shop Outfitters manufactures a number of metalworking tools useful for this purpose. Their Pedestal Ring Roller and Scroll bender was used in fabricating the peacock wall flower holder |

If you’re a newcomer to metalworking, you may be interested in transforming some of your newfound skills into a business. Building projects out of metal can be a very good way to fulfill ones desire to create something of value. Impressive things we make can help give us a sense of self-worth and become a small expression of who we are. It’s always nice when someone looks at something you’ve put together and says, “ You really made that”? There is just nothing like the feeling of satisfaction one can get from turning a good idea into something valuable, that people really notice. With a few tools, a little talent and the work of your own hands this can become a reality. Generally, the cost of well-designed ironwork and what the customer is willing to pay is made up more of labor than material. Plasma cut artwork produced off a PlasmaCam machine can be turned into a lucrative business. By using their ready-made art packages(Listed Below) and a little ingenuity it’s possible to make impressive items that can sell for many times its material cost. While ingenuity is always of value to the fabricator, it becomes less important when ready-made art is readily available to run on your PlasmaCam machine. Getting started in the metal fabricating business is much easier if you make use of a little of someone else’s talent while you’re gradually developing your own. |
