DNA Lounge Giant Jagged Metal Signs!

July 19, 2009

Apparently there’s been a curse on the DNA lounge these past fifteen years. The curse stipulates that anyone commissioned to make a sign for the DNA disappears under mysterious circumstances, rescinds on the offer, or becomes a gigantic douchebag. Jabs against my character aside I believe I have broken this curse for… BEHOLD!

We made one negative sign (a sheet with letters cut out) and one positive (what you see here.) This means I got two signs out of one cutting procedure. This is all part of a clever scheme of mine to do less work for more money at all times.

Since the plasma cutter is a bit of a wonky invention we welded the sign down to the bed to keep it from bending due to the heat of cutting. We actually had a sheet of plywood on the cutting table to kneel on and adjust the head to keep it from crashing up into the warping metal and welding itself in place.

Here’s a small little puzzle done at Techshop on one of their laser cutters. The image on this one came from Skulladay.com.
