Johnny Woolsey Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 These peices are done using a teqnique I'm calling "Puddled Brass" with some simple forged accents. Johnny Quote
tech413 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I like it, it gives a really neat effect. Did you just use scrap brass? Quote
Tom Lumpkins Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Thats realy nice.. Good job, and thanks for sharing with us.. Quote
element Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I want one now!! Just kidding, il have to make my own heh. If you ever seen pictures of the surface of the sun, then youl realise how much your sun looks like the real sun, the one on the right. I love it, I love it, I love it.... Quote
Johnny Woolsey Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 Thanks Guys. Yes sir, Tech. It is scap. I did a large architectural signage job and ended up with about 1500# of 1/8" and 3/16" drops. Darn it! Quote
welder19 Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Pretty neat looking, did you just melt it with a torch, kind of dribbleing it as you went or did you melt the brass in a crucible and pour it out? I'm sure they would sell good. welder19 Quote
Frosty Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Those are most excellent! I think you really have something with the technique and I'd like to see some experiments done with patination, backlighting and maybe art glass infilling. I don't know if brass or bronze can be used with melted or slumped glass like iron or steel can, probably not too large a thermal expansion coefficient. Still . . . Frosty Quote
Johnny Woolsey Posted February 5, 2009 Author Posted February 5, 2009 So many options...eh, Frosty. With the metalsmithing the limits are imagination.With blacksmithing it's my lack of ability! Guess we all need something to keep our heads from getting too big. This was done with a rosebud, respirator and LOTS of ventilation.( Ruined a good 1" welding table in the process.) Quote
divermike Posted February 9, 2009 Posted February 9, 2009 I stared at your sculptures for quite a while, they are really very nice, when I was a tech at ATARI, I experimented with solder, but never came close to the kind of art you produced. Well done, keep the pics coming! Quote
Dodge Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Very nice in deed!! Brass is a medium I would like to take more time to explore!! Quote
Frosty Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Same limits on most everything, knowledge, and skill, always plenty of room to add to your kit. We're all ignorant when it comes down to it. When you stop learning it's time to pack it in, you're already dead. Sorry about the table though it probably isn't actually ruined. Is it? Maybe it's just been turned into some heavy duty art.
