I just love that horse head cut out you used in the gate!:cool2::cool2: When my oldest granddaughter was taking riding lesson I cut this one out for her instructor.

Thats an awesome cut out ... I bet the instructor was very pleased!!

Oh she loved it! She had me cut out a bunch of these coat hooks to use in her barn.
I don't know why I didn't take any pictures of the coat hooks!

That is some great work guys..!! Too bad your shops weren't closer to Ohio, I'd send a lot of work your way..!! A buddy of mine has a steel supply business, and also has a pretty decent fab shop, but sure doesn't use it to near it's full potential. Bought a CNC table, and makes a few small things, but doesn't put it out there in the public eye enough. It's a shame, he's setting on a gold mine, but the motivation just doesn't quite seem to be there.

It's fun to watch the machine cut, but it gets boring too. The clean up is torture!:thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown::thumbdown:

I don't suppose you have a web page showing some of your projects/wares..?? I joined a Facebook page that has horse owners, mostly trail rider's, all over the U.S. I could always post some of your pictures on that page, and a couple of the more local pages. Some info on services provided, and contact info could get you a few jobs to do.

If just one or two would happen to post pictures of a completed project they had you make, it could generate quite a bit of work. Who knows..??

The key thing here is ... any drawing, sketch, picture can be worked with to produce the final results ... I like to tell my customers if you can dream it I can make it a reality!!!

It does get boring ... I don't mind the clean up .. I get very little dross 99.9% of the time quick once over with the wire wheel and done. That is on lighter material ... 3/8 and above a quick tap on the edge it usually pops off.
