Fabrication Detail - Mike Huffer Sculpture

[@valkman761]

Just found this channel and your shop is absolutely heaven for a guy like me. The miter station was exactly something I've needed to do for a while and finally I got some very good ideas making one. The measuring system on it... absolutely beautiful for the simplicity!

Thanks for your kind feedback! Check back when you have a chance, we plan to keep making videos.

Great process. Wish you had shown a longer shot of the finished piece!

[@dougthompsonmetalcraft]

That is a really good suggestion. We are learning as we go with the videos, and we will try to include better/longer shots of finished pieces as we go forward. Thank you for your ongoing interest!

Okay, but whij welding and not drilling and tapping holes and then screw from underneath the base plate?

[@dougthompsonmetalcraft]

The welds hold the struts securely to the vertical plate, and passing the threaded sections through the holes and securing with nuts allows for the base plate to be removed from the vertical plate to accommodate chroming. Tapped holes would be compromised during chroming. Thanks for watching!
