    Arena Built! (plus pictures)

    I built the arena this weekend, it came out really cool :) Tons of pictures of the manufacturing process (I got to play with an 8kW laser).

    I'll get an autocad drawing up of the *exact* dimensions, so that there aren't any surprises come defcon.

      Sweet!

      It's nice when work lets you play with thier toys.

      Any notion of costs for the cutting?

            I agree... good looking arena... and it's great that you have the kick ass little metal parts to give to all of your friends that have let you stay at thier house and gotten you drunk and stuff.. and the picture HAS to be entered in the photo contest

              Make some extra plates, they'll be nice bling when chromed.

                Yes, a 20 inch sheet metal defcon skull hanging from your defcon lanyard is major bling.

                    I'm also thinking about doing a run of defcon branded stuff to sell, some suggestions were:

                    - pendant, silver dollar sized
                    - throwing stars
                    - bookends

                    (all would have "defcon 13" cut into it)

                    any other thoughts?

                      Do you perhaps have the CAD drawing or whatever you fed into the laser machine for the logos? We have a laser machine here, and I would love to make one of my own.

                        Put me down for "yes".

                        BTW those DefCon plates would make great front licence plates for cars (hint hint)
