February 9, 201016 yr This stand was commissioned for a collector of ancient jars this jar is 3000 year old and its value is 10000$ THE idea of the design is to show the beauty and grace of the jar without interfering in the jar form ,to hold it from the bottom and let it ''fly'' upwards. I also show here how I use big magnets to hold the parts together . The use of the magnet is some thing that I use very often i many places that I have to put parts together when one works alone HOFIhttp://picasaweb.goo.../AnticJarStand2
February 10, 201016 yr Author Is that the actual jar in the pics? You are a brave man. Yes this is the actual jur I had several of them in my smithy at one time hofi
February 10, 201016 yr Author That is a wonderfully simple stand! Do the feet have levelers in them? No levelers in there Hofi
February 11, 201016 yr Is this the same jar and stand from the now missing blueprints? Is that a textured collar or wrappings at the joint? Is the joint welded before applying the collar or wrappings? Did you design the stand to flex and settle under load to make it level and stable, or is the stand rigid enough to require adjustment before loading? I was reading some of your posts from several years ago and your written English has improved significantly. Thank you for taking the time to share. Phil
February 19, 201016 yr Hofi, I just spent more time than I expected pouring over the photos you have on Picassa. Thank you so much for putting those photos up. They are very inspiring. All the best, John
February 19, 201016 yr That stand it very understated which is nice since it doesn't distract from the amphora. Nicely done!
