J.A Posted February 25, 2009 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
jimmy seale Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 well ja that just too much talent fer one man,great job,jimmy Quote
TASMITH Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Very well done! A lot of work in that but obviously a labour of love. Great! Terry Quote
David Einhorn Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Very very nice. How do you plan on mounting it on the wall? Quote
Woodeye Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Very Nice - I've made a rose here and there and leafs galour but working it all together into a piece like is something I have yet to tackle - well done! I am sure your aunt will cherish this for a long time to come Quote
dablacksmith Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 that is a real nice rose vine! you have done a good job blending the vine ofshoots into the main vine! now you need to make a table or chair in the same vien! table with glass top to show off the roses! good job! Quote
triw Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Very nicely done and I understand the labor I did some tapering of thick metal and you did a beatiful job of the tapering. Quote
Quenchcrack Posted February 25, 2009 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
Frosty Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Very nicely done, your aunt will love it. Frosty Quote
J.A Posted February 25, 2009 Author 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.

CurlyGeorge Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Very Beautiful, JA. Your labor will certainly be cherished for years to come. Quote
Dick L. Posted February 26, 2009 Posted February 26, 2009 Great Job ! I'm sure your gift will be cherished for a very long time ! Dick Quote
