Making Giant Steel Tentacles | Forge and Fabrication

[@wcline06]

Clever use of building materials and stunning results!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you.

[@orange_bike]

Q: How do you make a fire pit laugh? A: You give it ten-tickles! Great work, they are beautifully designed and so well crafted!

[@skullandspade]

Bahahahah. Nice

[@tomahoks]

I thought they were just tin, but no. When Brett delivers, he really delivers. Drunk people gonna sue the restaurant for bruises.

[@skullandspade]

Tin?! What do you think this is AMATEUR HOUR?! lol

[@WesleyTreat]

Magnificent! 🐙

[@skullandspade]

No YOU!

[@Jason-fb5gs]

cool shot with the power plant framed by the tentacles

[@skullandspade]

Thanks!

[@ChristCenteredIronworks]

Great job Brett and team 🙂

[@skullandspade]

Thank you as always brother. I appreciate you.

[@mariellecb1]

Absolutely gorgeous! Well done, Cap'n.

[@skullandspade]

You two are too damn kind. Glad we got to hang. Next time more anvil, please and thanks

[@madebyfergws9944]

Great build mate. The technique used to make the suckers is nothing short of brilliant. So simple.

[@skullandspade]

Thank you very much

[@edwardgurney1694]

Its cool seeing the smoke come off the mild steel tube as it heats up from the force in the press. The finished products look awesome, great work!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you very much sir. Glad you noticed that little bit of cinema ; )

[@jl3390]

Holy haddock, that is frickin' awesome!! The most enthralling 11 minutes I've spent in a long time!

[@GetToKnowNature]

Client: Could we get 2 large tentacles to frame a fi- " Brett: "You had me at tentacles." What a glorious project!!

[@skullandspade]

Hahahah, that’s basically how it went

[@EdwardIglesias]

Truly amazing! Best thing I've seen since Freerk Wieringa did the Cthulhu cultist dagger.

[@skullandspade]

Well shucks. Thank you sir

[@CrudeButEfficient]

Now those are some chunky monkeys! Love the organic feel, and the port hole look of the round bases!

[@skullandspade]

Thank you very much sir. As always

[@cassia_cries]

Just how many times did I misread Tentacles as Testicles ? .. you'll never know. Amazing work as always

[@skullandspade]

This pleases me. Thank you as always

[@dwwoodbuilds]

Awesome job on the tentacles Brett! Such a huge effort on this one! I can't imagine how much welding and grinding was involved!! 😮👍👍👍

[@skullandspade]

It was.....too much. Next time, get a massive pipe bender

[@Akitene]

Chthonian. And a very nice final view with these two chimneys between the tentacles.

[@skullandspade]

Thank you very much!

[@xsbxsbxsb]

Smarter than the average pirate!

[@skullandspade]

I didn't spend 7 years in Pirate technical school to be called Mister, thank you very much ; )

[@brucebutcher7838]

I am so glad to see you on youtube again.

[@skullandspade]

A little break is sometimes necessary

[@gayle525]

Oh my God Brett, you so rocked this one. This should make little kids stay in their seats for fear of being taken to Davy Jones locker. Wow. This is so beautiful. Bobs great too. Tell him so.

[@skullandspade]

I'll let Bob know. We all need a Bob

[@gayle525]
