J.A Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Coat rack I made for my aunt's wedding gift. This is my biggest project so far and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. Main vine part was tapered down from 20mm round mild steel with no striker or power hammer, talk about a workout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quenchcrack Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 Very graceful curves. I have seen some "free-flowing" sculptures that look like a bicycle that got run over by a dump truck. Very nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.A Posted February 25, 2009 Author Share Posted February 25, 2009 Thanks for all the complements. As far as mounting goes that was the most difficult part of the project, as i didn't want to give away the surprise so couldn't ask them for wall stud spacing. As they are renovating their house i decided to leave the way it was mounted until after they received it so i could find out the relevant information instead of just guessing and getting it wrong.
