Oh-white, that is fantastic.
Thanks for sharing that with us?

How are the scales held on?

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.
