SoCal Dave Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Thanks guys for the kind words: I forged everything from mild steel, except the copper tubing that carries the water up through the flower. All the metal had a good coat of primer on it and then the paint. Water over time is hard on the paint. It needs to be taken out once a year to be cleaned. It has provided enjoyment for years and many people think the green leaves are real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picker Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Picked up some marble and granite remnants (Free) - they turn into nice little curio tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpankySmith Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 OHHHH, I JUST walked past some marble remnants at the local Habitat Restore the other idea! Why didn't I think of tables? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 I have a slab of marble I've been wanting to make a bench out of. That's inspirational. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Nice work with the marble. Would like to know how you attached the steel. Marble doesn't weld that well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Stephens Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Made this for a friend of mine several years ago. The figure was split and forged, the load is concrete cores from a railing installation, tied with ss wire. I called it "The Boss", his kids call it "Dad" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the actual dimensions of this? When I first saw the picture to me it looked like corks on the back, so I thought it was small. Then you said those are concrete cores so it must be a decent size. I think I am going to try this out but for corks instead of the concrete cores. Good work!
