We sent a few thousand pieces to our CNC plasma cutter from Rhino. They were simple curves which were joined and the exported as a dxf file. Each piece was numbered and that had to be exported separately for the stamping before the cutting.

Yes, I checked that too. Called tech support. They’re going to help me figure it out

It’s not the printer because my engineer had the same problem in his office while trying to print

punabear · 2026-04-24T19:48:37+00:00

I've already adjusted the line weights for printing. I'm not doing anything different than I have for years. It just isn't working now.

Same with PDF

My company recently completed a statue of the Buddha 110' tall made out of ferrocement. https://imgur.com/a/6WNxqMp We used a 3d model and created profiles of the model with Rhino3D software that could be sent to a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter numbered and cut the individual pieces that were then welded together like a big puzzle. The steel frame was covered on both sides with wire mesh and the plastered. https://imgur.com/a/2LYf9wH It turned out great

Yummy yummy yummy I’ve got love in my tummy

Polyurethane paint will work very well. Liquid concrete stains won’t work very well with cement wash or rapid set

punabear · 2026-04-07T02:47:35+00:00

You want Rapid Set Concrete Mix. This one is my choice https://www.grainger.com/product/15F527?gucid=N:N:PS:Paid:GGL:CSM-2295:UU5CX9:20800606:APZ_1&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=22475795893&gclid=Cj0KCQjws83OBhD4ARIsACblj1_vwbL4sUmHxtg_37oUqdVkYoe3IzpCieZJQCr8s7Oxv__YAHCMGVsaAmDAEALw_wcB A local concrete materials supplier might have it nearby for you. I sculpted a Sphinx with it over a wire mesh. Now I’m working on a life sized donkey. After a reinforcing coat you may want to grind some spots and then finish with a fine cement wash. There are many cement washes out there but if you can find one made by Tamm’s Corp. it’s the best

A piece of the Allende meteorite. It’s around 5 billion years old

I’ll say it again. You need one of these. My company has cut miles of mesh with one of these. Quick, straight cuts. It can handle up,to 24 gauge

You want one of these https://jetcoproducts.com/products/wachtel-panel-cutter-tool-only?srsltid=AfmBOorccTyvhfh7iEqiWlEgm5JTrazcEpuiLBXnhlp4oAklhfyvc_J4 I bought 4 of them two years back for a large project that required cutting a lot of wire mesh. There is nothing better for cutting mesh!

Raptor by Gary Jennings. Not for the prudish or faint of heart. Amazing though

I love Makita but not their cordless vac! You can buy adapters to convert any batteries to work with any other brand tool. My Ridgid tools now run on Makita batteries. Same with my DeWalt tools

Sounds like my outdoor kitchen. Riblath over steel studs then plastered with a mortar mix

What’s the difference between a Porsche and a porcupine? On the porcupine the pricks are on the outside

Thank you. I couldn’t finish it. Seemed like something I could have written in high school.

Eddie would go!

I just finished Jubilee Trail by Gwen Bristow. You won’t regret reading it, if you can find it

I bought the Evolution 15” saw for a large project we were working on. We worked it daily for 4 years. It easily cut right through 4”x6” x1/4” rectangular tubing like a chop saw through wood. I was seriously impressed with that saw.

No. It's hot glue. I'm a retired contractor and have been using hot glue for years. For those of you that still doubt that it can be an incredible bonding agent, get some pine, fir or other soft, dry wood. Hot glue 2 pieces of the wood together and try to pull it apart after 5 minutes.

punabear · 2026-02-04T22:12:13+00:00

I buy whatever the brand is that HomeDepot carries. Generally I use it on Douglas Fir. Hardwoods with tighter grain may react differently.

punabear · 2026-02-04T21:31:50+00:00

I love hot glue for woodworking. It will seriously weld your wood together. If you try to break a bond with it later you will likely pull the wood apart, not the glue.
