Forged From Steel... Chevrolet

This is a Chevrolet bowtie that I cut from 3/8" steel plate with an automated oxyfuel cutting torch in my metal cutting class. I had to draw up the pattern and then I had to manually program the parameters fir the shape into the computer, then the machine did the rest. Though it took me and another guy almost 2 hours to figure out how to run the computer controls, then it took me about another 6 tries and 45 minutes to enter the said points fir my design to get it to cut out right which was real frustrating, but it did cut out right and on the first try too. I have more plans fir this piece other than to use it fir a a really cool paper wieght, but more on that later.
