    the fish was made from one solid piece of metal. The scales are formed by slicing a "C" shape in the metal with my laser, and then dishing it out a little. To dish it out, I used a blunt shaped rod in a drill press; pushing the rod into the part sitting on top of softwood.

    THat's really neat!
    What type of laser do you use? I would like to put one on the end of my robot, but have not figured out the size (Watts) yet.
