nelson Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 This is Oldie (Caballo Viejo, old horse in Spanish), made of cement, mild steel and wood that came from an almost completely rotten log, that after cleaning to sound wood, carving, sanding and staining turned into a nice base. Made in 2008. Measurements :59 x 52 x 27 cms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TASMITH Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Very nicely done Nelson!.Nice to see the mix of wood and steel and the obvious talent in working with both to create something unique. Excellent work! Tery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 Love the wheels on the rear legs.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelson Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Tery, until now I`ve working with basic tools and equipment like arc welding and O/A torch, so it seems other easier-to-work-with materials like cement and wood, have filled a void left by lack of a gas forge and a power hammer. At the time I`m studying how to make a propane forge and a JYH, wich should become a big asset to my low tech shop.In the mean time I may work a little longer with mix media which I love anyway. Thanks. nelson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nelson Posted March 23, 2009 Author Share Posted March 23, 2009 Howdy Bentiron1946, Oldie is suppossed to be a pretty old horse, and as will happen to all of us some day, we will probably need a pair of wheels to move about, and they too may end up wearing out or breaking off as it happened to Oldie`s right leg wheel...Thanks. nelson.
