Valentines day present for the wife!

admin

Thought some of you guys might like this! General idea was copied off a picture I found on the Miller website I think. It's a 5x7 picture frame if you couldn't tell. Base is supposed to look like a tree stump. I wrestled around with the idea of what color/colors to paint this, but as you can see just decided to stick with an all "aluminum silver" paint. Originally I was going to just paint the frame silver, clear coat the "stump", make the leaves and stem green, and roses red. But I didn't have any green so... Painted everything silver! All in all took me about 4 hours to make. Has a couple bolts welded on the back end and a flat plate with holes to keep the picture in there. I'll just take the glass out an existing frame. Or buy one from the dollar store. Material is all steel, 24ga sheet for the roses and pedals, 3/16 bar for the smaller rose stems, 5/16 bar for the larger rose stem, 1/4" plate for the base, and 1/8" x 2" flat plate for the frame. There's some 1/4" x 1" flat stock in the back that you can't seem the provides the "seat" for the picture and glass.John 3:16(2) Miller Pheonix 456(2) Millermertic 252Dynasty 210DXHobart 210MVPDoringer D350 SA Cold SawScotchman 350LT Cold SawWebb 10x50 MillWebb 15x40 LatheGeka Bendicrop Ironworker

Reply:Much better choice to keep the color simple and monotone.  That will eliminate clashes with colors in the photo that is inserted.   Looks nice.AHP AlphaTIG 200DX (2nd Gen)Lincoln WeldPak 3200HD Bird Poop GeneratorLotos LTP5000D Plasma Cutter
