This is my first chance to work with an old friend, Designer Ezio Colombrino, on a project that we hope to take to market in the USA. Ezio works in Naples, Italy and markets his designs in Europe through his website http://www.lunedesign.it He recently received a request for this piece by a person in Montreal. We tried to find someone here in the US to cut it on a CNC machine, but getting a prototype made turned out to be a fools errand. This is what it looks like on his site: I took a closer look at the parts and decided I could cut them myself, so...the fool is me.

The design was supposed to be 130 cm in length and it turned out to be 130". Not a problem, really because I had planned to scale it down to 122 cm, or 48" at the customer's request.

Hola Phil,
ReplyDeleteI would like to visit you at your studio in NH. I built a geodesic dome in Henniker in the 70's. Rode a motorcycle from NH to Argentina 201/13. Rode through Cusco, Ollantaytambo, and through the Sacred Valley. Stopped in Puno, visited the Uros people. Rode to Copacabana, Bolivia, boated to and hiked Isla del Sol. (purportedly the origin of the Incas). Learned about you through Multiplaz (your plasma welder) site. Stopped at the Multiplaz corporate hqs. in L.A. on my journey. Got the tutorial and used the machine while there. Just enough time/experience to comprehend that it is truly a welding breakthrough. Visited the upper Amazon region (not on the bike... no roads there, only rivers) the past two years. Very much want to meet you and learn of your experiences. (I self-identify as a Christian, Zen, Taoist). My name is Rik Humboldt. email: humboldtrik@gmail.com. Blog: www.riksadventures.com Phone: 603-854-2593. Please email or call me soon. I plan to return to South America in December.
