@djc_angst the project I always wanted to do: copy impressionist paintings (textural brush strokes) onto sheet metal with weld bead
@djc_angst probably overly-ambitious, but then, what isn't that's worth doing.. etc.

@starsandrobots I wonder if you could try etching a pattern down first and then use that as a guide for the weld beads? -
@djcapelis that sounds like the way to do it, yeah! (I also tried sharpie-ing guidelines. Sharpie burns off, as predictable) -
@starsandrobots I actually have a page in one of my welding books that covers the tradeoffs of all the various ways to mark metal. -
@djcapelis omg ♡^▽^♡ -
@starsandrobots Here’s the page, the coverage isn’t entirely comprehensive, but totally relevant!pic.twitter.com/u2enrB5RH9
