Pre-machining layout with spray paint and a laser cutter

I needed to duplicate a garage door hinge, and I used to Glowforge to transfer the design onto the metal.

Cool process. I often use the GF to transfer designs to thicker boards that I then cut on the scroll saw. I didn’t even think about trying that for metal. Thanks for the great write up.
