and keep the top of the Plexiglas flooded with water or the

I tried typing in codes to create some other fractal curves, but
they didn't come out right, so I never cut them into anything.
There's another class of things called "gaskets" that I'd like
to try programming and maybe etch in brass or something, using
my photoplotter and PCB etching techniques. Someday....
Oh, a couple years ago I had these up at the CNC Workshop.
