Don't tread on me

[Lars]

As some of you guys know, I recently purchased a CNC plasma table, for my personal business. I bought the table with an air scribe attachment to do layout and fine detail work. I had to share my latest creation with you guys.

[Fentonite]

That is awesome! Selling any?

[UncleDave]

^^ this

[Gman]

^^Me too! That's awesome!

[Lars]

That was the first one to come off the table, and I'm making a few minor changes to clean it up a little, then yes I will be selling a few.

[colorider]

GREAT WORK. When they go up for sale, I would be honored to have one.

[Mazin]

That's freaking AWESOME!!!

[Lars]

Here is another picture to see the bottom writing better. It's hard to get a good picture due to the reflection from the lights in the shop. One of the changes I'm thinking about is to cutout the Don't Tread on me letter as opposed to engraving them. I would like to hear what you guys have to say about that idea.

Agreed! I was thinking the same thing. Please put me in line to buy one of these.

That's badass!

That first one sucks! I'd give it away (to me) for free!



j/k, that is awesome, I'd definitely be interested in getting one of those, would be sweet in the garage

I want to heat it up and brand my fence with it.

Meet friday? I have a torch, we can post a video...it will be sweet!

[Irving]

Actually, the negative of that snake as a template to paint that pattern on the gate on my fence would be pretty cool.

[HoneyBadger]

I want to heat it up and brand my chest with it.
FIFY.

[Great-Kazoo]

I'd like one, unfortunately the way Obama's going after symbols of freedom. It be too heavy to wave around when the real protest start.
UNLESS, he can make one to go on a bayonet lug.

[osok-308]

That looks awesome man! Damn great job.

I agree. I was thinking the wording would be easier to read if it were cut out, but I held my tongue. ;)

Very nice, is it steel or aluminum?
If it's steel put a Rose Bud on a Ox/Ac torch and give it a case/flame harden look like this.

^^^ - I would like one but fear the metal might be to thin.

Another tip - Paint it before you engrave it. Might add a little time/cost to it, but it will look nice.

These are cut from 10 gauge so they are just over 1/8 thick. And I would think these would look great if I painted them before engraving but the engraving gets done before the plasma hits it, so it would just roast this paint.

Price?

[Aloha_Shooter]

Add me to the list of prospective customers.

I keep wondering what one would look like if it were blued...and it would probably look cool with a patina of rust.

[Mercula]

+1. Id love to have one if I can afford it.
Group buy !

It'll be backward. No ragrets.

Seriously though, sounds like you can sell quite a few of these to the guys here (including me). Better get to work!

[beast556]

Im in for one, looks awesome nice work.

DON'T EVEN GO THERE. Best way to fuck up a good deal is, GROUP BUY.

[Mercula]

lol.

Preach it!

[killianak9]

I'd be in for one too, great work

[Lars]

Well it sounds like there is a lot of interest in this sign, so it looks like I will be making a limited first run of these for you guys. This sign measures approximately 36" tall by 34" wide, I will look into making a smaller version at some point but a lot of the detail is as small as will allow without some major rework. The finish on this sign will be a polished finish with a clear coat unless a request is made for something different. There will also be mounting brackets on the backside to make this stand one inch of the wall to give it more depth.

If you are fully committed to buying one of these then please send an email to Larsoncl7@gmail.com please include your username from this forum, your Real name and a phone number, under the subject line please enter don't tread on me sign.This is a time consuming sign to make but I will try to get orders out as fast as I can. The price per is $200 and that is finished out as described above. If I get enough request for a torch coloring finish I will do that at no additional charge.

Awesome job! Here's a little history on the Gadsden flag.

I wish they were smaller at 36x34 I have no where to put it. If you make a smaller one please let me know.

Anyone know how they do the Rust/Browning that they use on steel bridges and other steel structures now-a-days? Can I do this at home or is there somewhere that does this for a reasonable price? That would be my preferred finish.

Thanks Lars for making this available. It is an excellent blending of craftsmanship and artistry.

I hate to tell you this, but that clipart is of a french rattlesnake. La Crotale. Lives in the french alps. Instead of striking, they act like possums when approached.

[lex137]

I want one! I'd put that on my front door!

I guess that's a NO for your order then? The cutout was meant to look like a Crotalus Adamanteus also known as an Eastern Diamondback rattle snake,( see image below for reference to what was trying to be accomplished) I'm truly sorry that my design skills and metal working abilities could not properly portray that in the finished product.

[Firehaus]

Isn't it actually a canebrake timber rattler on the flag?

Yes, I believe so. However, the diamond back design I felt lent itself better to this application.

[Firehaus]

I could see that, but I also like the pattern of the timber rattler and it could give the piece more strength by connecting the lines. All depends on the thickness and type of material. Right out of high school, I ran Amada CNC punch presses and CNC lasers.

You know I was thinking. This would look awesome in patina copper.

[brutal]

Lars,

I think it is absolutely awesome. I do agree the letters would be best displayed and easily recognizable as cutouts.

P.S. If you quote people on my ignore list, I see their idiot remarks, haha.

Using deductive reasoning I can conclude with 33% certainty who is on your ignore list. [Beer]

It was supposed to be a joke, but now I'm not so sure.

[Lars]

I'm going to be ordering some steel patina in copper and a few other options and give it a try on a few of these to see how it turns out. If you have ordered a sign and would like to wait a little longer to see how this turns out let me know, for those that are just getting a polish finish I will be starting these this week and will contact you guys when they are complete. I appreciate everyone's input and great ideas, and feedback both good and bad, I can't improve my product with out knowing what needs improving.

[Lars]

After a short delay due to a few other projects that I was finishing up I have finally got a start and these signs for those of you that have placed an order, I hope to be finished with all of them by the end of next week. I will also be doing a couple different finish options and will post a few pictures as I get them done.
