LOL, No its not a deticated machine that uses a sharpie. I was cheating by using the plasma table in a new and creative way. After 4:30 pm the plasma table becomes a 5' x 10' plotter lol  . The machine can still travel without the plasma flame on in what is called trial cut. The machine actually came with a holder that replaces the torch for drawing on plate to see how things will fit before cutting the expensive material. Very handy tool, one can draw in CAD and download the drawing to the plasma cutter and then draw the shape onto paper, metal ect.. in minutes. Taping the marker to the torch assy. was a quick way to do the drawing without upseting the torch position. This is only the second time I have bone this in the last 4 years but it is handy.
Thanks, |

| This is not the layout of the cardboard boat half model in the previous post but it is very similar. |

This is a new idea I had for a single sheet boat. This boat could be made with a 5" x 10" sheet of metal. I got to deep on the other boat layout and will pick it back up in a few days. Half round parts could be added to the exterior sides of the hull to give it more displacement. This is deffenatly a triangulation layout boat. What do you think?
Thanks |
