Turning a Rusty Saw Blade into a Patriotic Memorial Day Sign | Inkscape + ArcDroid CNC Plasma Cutter

Описание: This Memorial Day, I honor our fallen heroes by transforming a rusty circular saw blade into a patriotic wall sign using Inkscape and my ArcDroid CNC plasma cutter.

In this detailed step-by-step project, I’ll show you how to:

Design a tattered American flag graphic in Inkscape
Prepare your artwork for CNC cutting
Bridge letters so your stencil cuts cleanly
Optimize your path for ArcDroid compatibility
Plasma cut a 14" saw blade with a PrimeWeld CUT60

⚙️ Whether you're a maker, metalworker, or DIY patriot, this project is a powerful tribute and a great learning tool for working with rusty metal and digital fabrication.

🇺🇸 Let’s create something meaningful—because some gave all.
