First Attempt at Art

admin

My daughter saw a piece of art on the Internet and asked me if I could make something similar for her.  I have zero experience with anything like that, and even less artistic ability. But I had an old MK 2/2 scroll bender and a bunch of scrap. I made a few changes as I went, and added the leaf pieces I picked up at the steel yard. The dimensions are approximately 24" x 48".  She loved it... that's all that matters.

Reply:Many thanks for the kind words.BD1, the scrolls are just 1/2" flat bar.  The heart is 16 ga. sheet I cut with the plasma cutter... same with the "C" in its center (I found a nice font and printed it onto a regular sheet of paper, then traced it onto the heart and used the plasma again.)The MK 2/2 only does the smaller work... the rest, I eyeballed and bent around a paint can and a five gallon bucket. There are no visible welds on the front of the piece.  Most are on the back, and the ones in front are hidden by the leaf pieces. Finished off with some Rustoleum hammer-finish rattle can.Miller Dynasty 200DXMillermatic 210 w/ Spoolmate 3035Hypertherm Powermax 380JD Squared Model 32Multiple fabrication tools & equipmentFull Powder Coating Setup
