Good job! I'd like to do it made of stainless steel and polish it to look like chrome since that's the kind of work that I do. I've made a few polished stainless sculptures but mine have all been abstract designs. I like to bevel the edges so there's a fine seam and then fuse weld it. That leaves a slight radius to the joint but I'm ok with that. That leaves almost no grinding clean up before polishing. Too bad that fusing doesn't work well on steel. Again it was a pleasure seeing the work that you do because I've seen a lot of what to me is total butcher work on metal in other videos.

outstanding work sir! Joshua I used a dishing stump for rounding edges on some of my pieces on the horse, didn't know if you had any experience using one for these for curves/bends. small stumps are free!!
@joshuadelisle5 жыл бұрын
I tried to design it in a way that the pieces should only curve in one plain in any segment, if you curve them in 2 plains the parts might not fit as well as they could. Its mainly to make it more simple for people to build as raising and dishing stretches or contracts the steel distorting its original shape which can be hard to replicate if you're a beginner. Using stakes and dishing bowls are great for making armour though. I would use a fuller or like I did on the horse also using a simple round bar and soft wood v block. All the best Mike. Cheers J

@joshuadelisle3 жыл бұрын
Hi Mike. What thickness did you use? Thicker is harder to form but easier to weld, for 2mm I use a stiff pair of flat bit tongs and large pair of scrolling tongs. The tacks if they have a little gap can be compressed shut with a plannish of a hammer. I'm using 1mm steel in the next videos coming up to make it easier and I'll demonstrate how to weld thin material. If one side is too stiff from tacking and not meeting the other side's then break the tacks and bring the other side closer first and gradually bring all sides together at the same time by moving one part a little bit, tacking then moving to the next, all most like your spiralling around the horn as you form it. Hope that made sense. Cheers J
