james gonzalez Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 This was for a garden fountain. She asked for a rustic look, thankfully. Behind the bowl can be seen the "stake" I welded up. Dimensions are D=38" Depth=12" Flange=1" I had to weld up two half-circles to get the proper sized blank. I decided I dont particularly like the way copper welds. It took me 4 days. The client is happy and it does'nt even leak. peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markb Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Nice, how thick was the copper sheet you used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james gonzalez Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 that was 1/8" sheet. I had to anneal the blank with a big fat propane roofer torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
