Had to make a bracket for a sign to match an existing bracket with a lamp. The lamp unit was a 1" sq. tube yard arm but the curved scrolled brace was a 1" sq. solid that was tapered down and scrolled. Don't have a forge for enough heat and my old arms were not going to do all that hammering on the anvil . So I did it with all tube, cut about a 7" wedge on each end, closed it up and welded, then bent the scrolls with heat.Drying the paint in the oven...(shop bathroom with an electric heater).

Reply:Nice job. Getting tube all curved and scrolled isn't easy. I'd have rather used solid rather than mess with all the hassle of tube myself. Good job on the match as well..No government ever voluntarily reduces itself in size. Government programs, once launched, never disappear.
