Daswulf Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 A little quick sculpture I made for my daughters kindergarten teacher. She loves bees and I have seen variations on this type of thing. It was well recieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George N. M. Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Cool. Can we have a close up of the Queen, please, if you have one. Thx. G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Unfortunately I didn't get more better pictures. It is basically a wood bolt with the head ground round then a nut chucked up on it for more body and the wing base. The wings are utensil ends that fit the bill. The legs and antennae are finish nails cut to length. Mig weld blobs for the eyes and mouth area. I plan to make some more and will get more and better pictures then.

Daswulf Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 Thanks Lary, Scott. It was a pretty easy one. Hardest part was welding the thin legs and antennae on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I used to do stuff like that with my stick welder, I'd turn it down really low, disconnect the ground clamp, hold the wire, nail, etc. with the stinger and pull the ground onto the table by the cable. Worked about 3/5 of the time. By work I mean it actually welded rather than just stuck and broke when disturbed. If you have paste soldering flux it's almost 100% Frosty The Lucky.
