There is a picture in a local steakhouse like the above that my wife always comments on when we go there. The background is amber and and the whole thing is framed. I think she is dropping hints (why I'll never know she doesn't know whether I can cut metal) and even if she isn't I'd like to make one for her. I don't work metal much at all though I'd like to and I'm wondering what goes into this and where are the pitfalls.
I figure I can use that image and enlarge it somehow. The catalog I looked at online said 14 gauge tin so I could get that and glue the paper image to it. No shortage of scroll saws on CS so I get a metal cutting blade and go to work with that. My main concern is what will I run into with cutting? Sparks? Firestarting? I'll sweep up the area I'm working in but I'd like an idea of what I will run into. I imagine that after the cutting I'd sand the edges dull and then paint the whole thing black.
Input?
