I Forge Iron

Arc Table

Recommended Posts

Hello again

 

      Here is a small table I finished up yesterday. I built this in free time between payed work. I just started drawing with soapstone on the shop table and decided I liked the sketch and started forging. The main frame is mild steel, and the sphere is copper. This was something new for me to solder and polish copper parts. There is black guilders paste painted on the steel then the entire piece is coated with matte lacquer. I tried out "Clear Guard, by Sculpt Nouveau" some one on this site mentioned it a while ago. The glass top is 24"

A great artist I worked for kept a clean shop. Although his shop is getting rather full of tools lately. Thanks everyone for the comments.

 

The temporary braces I used to hold the top Arc are some type of adjustable bracket for a house antenna. The arms slide in and out with set screw, and the ends pivot. I have one side clamped to the table and the other side has a large magnet screwed on it.

Never would have thought of such a thing, but I'll certainly keep my eyes open for one of those brackets.  Might could make something in the shop what with all the scraps laying around.  Great idea, hoss.
