Correction to flyer - We will be open every Saturday night in October from 7-9. We usually start openings at 6 but it is still a bit bright for the tanks to properly shine. Just drop on in!

31 days of Tank-O-Lanterns. Day 28 - Other cuts.
This is my favorite time of year, october and decorating for Halloween. I also really love shooting tanks so I am going to use my blog to feature photos of a different tank every night during the month of October.
What is a Tank-O-Lantern?
For today I thought why no feature things that we are working on that involve plasma cutting but are not straight tank-o-lanterns.
So we did start attempt trying o turn these into hanging lamps. There are a few problems I came across in doing so. The clear 7 watt nightlight bulb we use for tanks is actually the perfect thing for casting shadows. The higher up in watage you go the more you blast the shadows out. So I need to be ok with it just being a decoartive shade and not an awesome shadow caster. um yeah not sold on the idea.

So we moved on to attmpting a few tables for fun.
Then someone asked us to design a few planters for us. So why not. We are always open to commission depending on what you want and if I think I can translate your design into a cutable stencil.

Yucca Flats NM is what we call our compoumd and this tank attempts to capture that. A rough idea of our happy little home complete with stars and moon.

For today I thought I would bring it back to the beginning. 5 years ago we started our first Tank-O-Lanterns We cut the hole for the light in the back and our designs were much simpler.
This was the first thing I tried to make cutouts in the back to cast better shadows. So this led to every other really decorative thing I have ever created.
