Right before the San Jose show last August, we had planned on making a solid steel Mr. Satan head — a 3D scan of an old SRL machine prop from the 1980s, coordinates put into a CNC, and recreated in heavy, gorgeous silver metal. The CNC broke about 20 hours into the job and we had to put it off — I paid a visit to the shop last night to see the progress and Mr. Satan is almost done! The machine has put in over 70 hours shaping the face, and I can’t think of a better time for Mr. Satan to emerge from his slumber, and for Mark’s dream of making this happen (he’s wanted to do this since the 80s) to come true. Watch this video I took of the CNC in action smoothing out Mr. Satan’s sideburns — and keep in mind that the face is longer than my forearm.
