Backwoods Blacksmith Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I had shoulder replacement surgary in Novmember. Could not sit around so tried to do a little bit every day. I used an oak tree behind the house as a model. After a few revisions and design changes, this is the result.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Gaddis Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Very attractive ...indeed! I am a bit courious about the construction...are the attachments tig, mig, o/a , or forge welded? your connecting joints look quite realistic...maybe you offer some tips and tricks on how this project was accomplished. I for one would be indebted greatly to learn some of this technique. Thanks for showing this Carry on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backwoods Blacksmith Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 Most of the split branchs were forge welded. The roots and branchs were gas welded to the main trunk. Gas welding allows a more natural looking joint as you can control the metal placement and flow. I always deeply bevel to get a good solid weld. Thank you all for the kind comments. I have to say that I was pretty satisfied with the finished results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
