Iris Chandelier Part II

[@smashingtheadam]

It turned out beautifully! Which is entirely unsurprising, and yet I always feel like I’m seeing something exciting and unexpected. Excellent work!

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much!

[@ElephantsRock19]

You're quite a phenom! Such a magical, spiritual, inspirational person, I really appreciate watching you work and seeing the finished masterpiece! You are truly blessed! 🕊️🙏❤️🕯️🪄🔮⚔️🛡️

I still cannot believe you hold that whole chandelier up with the rope in the vice!!! I panic every time I watch this.

Looks like something out of those dwarven palaces in skyrim. BEAUTIFUL

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much! I love Skyrim! It's a huge inspiration to me in my work and in my dungeons and dragons world building.

[@birdsofvalhalla]

Wow. Holy wow. Absolutely incredible. I love artistic lighting, im a little obsessed. If we didn’t make soap… id make lights. Somehow. What an incredible creation.

[@imapolemicist2239]

I have no idea how much it would cost to have these pieces created. They are just amazing pieces of art that anyone would love to have in their possession.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you so much! Each piece is priced based on the time it takes to build it, and that depends on how intricate the client wants the piece to be.

[@PLUM-rp9lt]

Wow…i pretty much don’t have words to describe how awesome this is….I guess ‘Blown’ away is a start🤙

Thank you, Rick! I'm so grateful for the opportunity to share my work with you.

[@courtneywhissell8985]

Absolutely stunning! A true piece of art! I found you on TikTok earlier this year, while you posted about the Hobbit styled door and not going to lie I'm watched everyone one of your posts! So you are so very calm polite, talented and passionate about each of your projects! It's a true joy to watch your craft and I can't wait to see what else you come up with!

Geez, wow! Thank you so much, Courtney! You are too kind.

The Valhalla gate, early in the design is where I found you. I cannot wait to see it finished, it’s already amazing. This chandelier is a master class in forging and art. Not sure the vernacular exists to properly describe it.

[@fixingittonight]

Same deal, and wow simplistic but great content I hope your able to keep making these but I have a feeling your gonna blow up! In a good way, your work is super inspiring!

[@chrismsmalley2626]

I have a tip for the Valhalla Door hardware. The lag bolts that hold the escutcheon to the door can be drilled and tapped in the center of the heads and then place the domed brass covers on the workbench , put the correct sized bolt that matches the lag bolt tap( duh, of course) and pour epoxy into the dome to just above the head. Give it a few days then roll a ring gasket down to the level of the epoxy , screw them in until the gasket makes contact and use your palm to turn it just enough to hold but not so tight it pops the epoxy out...maybe try one or two like that? Let me know? Or don't ? Its just an idea...

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Clever thinking! Thanks for tuning in, I will continue to post updates on the door on TikTok and then do a full dive into the build here on YT.

[@derrickgluck1680]

Great work dude!!!! Can’t wait to see the Valhalla door completed!! Is there a designated place that door is being installed? A big mansion would be sick! Keep it up

Beautiful I was thinking how would it look if you were to put a led light hidden in the bottle facing the curved part

Thank you! Funny you say that, there are LED lights on the inside of the outer ring, facing down the bottles.

[@codyclaxton7271]

Really beautiful art, I dont know if video didn't show it but it did seem some stretched glass did not perpetuate light as well as others

[@tembxrr]

You inspire me and motivate me to work hard man you are amazing, I love your work. Can I ask what got you into forging you’re so good at it.

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Thank you!! That means so much to me, inspirations is what gives my life meaning, whether receiving or giving it. I've been into metal since I was very young, started out welding and found that I could melt metal with forging and never looked back.

[@tembxrr]

@@Max_Randolph_Studios Amazing man, and thank you for the reply.

[@KurvyWoodworking]

Do you have any issues with metal warping when you do the final solid weld? If so do you incorporate it into your design or heat temper?

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Yes, of course! Great questions!! I always start with a precise blueprint of what the design should be, and when a weld wasps that out of the concept I have to be creative to bring it back to the original intentions - sometimes that does include heat temper, just depends on the situation.

[@doktopxayc]

😎👍

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

=D

[@roombacats8410]

How do you keep your steel from rusting? Do you anodize or apply a coating? As someone who does a lot of sheet metal and welding, just curious. I typically patina or anodize

[@Max_Randolph_Studios]

Great question! I have several finishes! I mostly use pure lacquer, sometimes adding pigments to it. And other times I'll oil the steel for a more antique finish! I rarely paint and cover up all of the detail work.
