postleg Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Here is my latest creation. It is a cross made from 1/2 sq bar. I put copper inbetween the iron bars. I also did copper under the bands holding the cross together. I added some copper rivets for accent. The cross was then colored with heat with my tourch then clear coated. What do you think? Always looking for feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul42` Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I really like your design on this one! Here's my first attempt at a cross... I'm thinking of making a small flower or leaf to weld onto the centre but not sure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefarm39 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 very nice! Do you use some type of formula for the proportions? For example, should the vertical element above the horizontal be about 1/3 of the overall height? Or is it just by eye and dwhat feels right?

Paul42` Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm sure there is a formula out there somewhere.... but I just eyeballed it. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
postleg Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 It is probably about 1/3rd but I just do it by eye and what I think looks right. I like the rough and hand made look so If it's off a little thats ok with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
