Better than a third hand

admin

Almost better, maybee.  I made some wine holders that help hold the next one and so on.  I stole this idea from someone here , maybee a couple of you guys.  They really do help hold the next one during fit up.I sent two off for Xmas presents.One important thing I learned is: bed frame metal is not good for welding. It breaks to easily and Im not talking about the welds.The last pic is kind of a mutant. Its titanium. Southpaw helped ataching the legs to the body/ Ti pipe using the AHP and Argon.  I used the INVERTEC/Argon on the feet. Attached Images
Reply:Cool ! I posted some of the ones I made. There's one on the horse shoe thread. http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...s-Sticky/page2A couple more here, http://weldingweb.com/vbb/showthread.php...ht=wine+holderI found if you set the figure on about a forty to forty two degree angle the base can be smaller and works well. I like the vertical one. Maybe make the holder to represent a rocket with fins .Oh, the HF 1'' belt sander works well for these art projects too.Last edited by BD1; 12-20-2014 at 10:51 AM.
Reply:Thanks BD1. I remember where I stole I meen borrowed the idea from.  I was hoping that equilibrium would see or comment on these. I think she would like your silver knights also.I saw your horse shoe wine holder and was going to borrow that idea also. Thanks again
Reply:Glad you like it and make a bunch. The horseshoe cowboy wine holder was done with new horse shoes from Tractor Supply. I do have some recycle ones but the size of them didn't seem to be in perspective. I also made some for Christmas gifts.
Reply:Looking good! The older bed frames are mostly spring steel, will withstand a lot bouncing before they bend.
Reply:Not bad. I think you might want to do one with the bottle opening as the guys head and his arms reaching up to help cradle the bottle. That way it looks like he's drinking from the bottle..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear. Actually, a government bureau is the nearest thing to eternal life we'll ever see on this earth! Ronald Reagan
