Absolutely fabulous work dude!

rafael13, just a word of caution on that circle cutter. The "wings" on that thing can be really dangerous. Depending on the RPM's, the outside points are difficult to see when it's spinning. But if used correctly (like most tools), it makes the neatest circle cut you'll see. As Juliovideo's work shows.

WICKED work!

I have to ask ... what material are you using to create the mesh wheel?

Looks like some type of abraisive pad.
