Bamboo?

admin

I have seen some aluminum art projects using pipe with welds going around it making it look like bamboo.  Has anyone done this?  Any tips or tricks?I saw a table done this way.  Very nice patio art.

Reply:That was very cool and informative.The stuff I saw would have been much less work, but not as realistic looking.  They had maybe dented the aluminum, then run a weld bead around it.  Lots of ideas for applications come to mind.
