Designed and built an Intelligent LiPo Battery Pack Storage Discharger, the Crossfire did a marvelous job as usual cutting precise holes and openings in the aluminum faceplate and other bits, with very minimal to no finishing.

I usually constantly just lurk here. I’ve made a bunch of stuff, but yesterday I cut one inch for the first time. I was extremely pleased how it went. I also attached a box protector I made for our tree lift. Man do I love this thing. I’m actually thinking about upgrading to a hypotherm 85, I currently have the 65.
And I can never say it enough the most experienced guys on here are so helpful that I do appreciate it. You guys are a true asset to this forum.

I really like that switch protector…looks like something the original manufacturer should include.
Is that paint or powder coat? Either way, looks great.

Thank you, it’s powder coated. I do smaller stuff in my shop. I also made a protector for the ground controls the outriggers and the steering and such. It has a cheesy cold roll quarter inch or 3/8 bar around it.

Making my wife a birthday present this year. The night before we saw our current house for the first time, my wife had a dream about her new studio, vaulted ceiling with skylights. We went to an estate sale the next day and the house had the studio she saw in her dream, plus a killer landscaped flower garden plus a bunch of offer goodies. We made an house offer that day. This was 12 years ago and we love our home.
I listened the Abbey Road Medley for the 1000th time again recently and heard this line “One Sweet Dream - Came True - Today!” in “You Never Give Me Your Money”. This afternoon, I made a 18ga HRS 8in flower pot listening the Abbey Road of course. Later this week, I’ll fab up a 3D steel version of the her studio as a pot insert which she’ll stick in after planting flowers. She loves everything in the yard to have a rust patina, so I polished the HRS to get rid of any mill scale. She’s going to love it.

I play guitar and like to strum some Beatles sometimes. They combine chords in ways that look crazy on paper, but sound pretty good when played. Also crazy how many songs they wrote.
