Working With Metal: Using a Laser Level to Create a Cut-off Line - Kevin Caron

When he needed to cut off all the bells on the recent commission Arabesque at the same level, artist Kevin Caron got a $15 laser level and pulled out a sanding belt to do the job.

Where do you get all the oxy tanks?

[kevincaron]

@gyrofix There is a place here in town that tests the bottles. They clean and pressure test them. The ones that fail get cut up and tossed in the scrap pile.

As always great tips Kevin.  Thanks for sharing them.

@floridarobot Thanks! Stay cool down there in Florida. I hear it's been a little toasty.

Neat. Granted, I'd have thought you'd have made a self rising hydraulic platform (with measuring scales) to get them all lined up and even. Then, I, also, thought you were cutting them to a predetermined musically tuned level since they sound so nice. Shows what I know. :-)

@VisorBlue You either think to much of me or too little.

I do tend to work smarter not harder.

But thanks for the comment. Good to see you the other day. Stop by when ever you get the chance.

@kevincaron Oh sure, now you tell me. First it was "buy low, sell high" and now it's "work smarter, not harder". Some day I'll get it. :-)

@jptrucker29 Thanks. I have to play with that thing some more and see what else I can use it for.
