Blacksmithing | Welding blacksmithing | chandelier | lighting | video | welding This is a 10 minute flash video on the fabrication and assembly of the main body of the chandelier. It's not easy to cram several months worth of hand crafted metal art work into a ten minute video, but I did it. It's action packed and fast moving. Enjoy

Dick, I'm glad the flash video worked well on your slow connection. Seems flash is the way to go with on-demand video playback. Did you try playing the video full screen? Works great on a Mac. I couldn't get it to play on my VMware PC using IE though. » reply  Part 3 video

Knowing you I imagine you were also photographing this video via a tripod yourself while working. It certainly is not evident though and just wanted to say you did a fabulous job to make this another segment of a really informative set of How To's. » reply The Marsi Chandelier Part 3 - Assembling

Nice Job with the video Enrique, it is very informative and gives me a lot of insight into the process of fabricating something as awkward shaped as a chandelier. I like your use of the platen table, it looks like it made jigging that out pretty simple. What was the clamping tool you were using? It looked like you applied a clamp with some sort of plier and looked really handy. If there is one thing I can never have enough of, it's clamps. Jake » reply I'm glad the video has been

I'm glad the video has been informative. I thought you might like it since you are about to get started with a chandelier job. The side grip fasteners, or small spring loaded clamps about 70# clamping pressure are placed using Cleco pliers. » reply  Very cool video, great set

Very cool video, great set up, very clear, what an asset for a client too. Can't wait to see the rest of it come together. How many hours do you think have gone in to the video production side? I'm glad that Jake mentioned the clamps, I was curious about those too. Lynda » reply It's hard to tell how many

It's hard to tell how many hours I put into the documentaries. I can only say that I probably spent 30-40 hours putting the actual video sections together using iMovie. Thing is, I like doing the documentaries on certain projects, and I know that I will use them as promotional material on my web site. I honestly believe that we, as artists/craftspeople, need to communicate clearly to potential clients that visit our web sites. These types of visual aide materials are educational and give a better understanding to the general public and future clients. Those clamps are great to hold sections of light weight materials. They don't replace the screw type clamps, but are real handy when you just want to hold two pieces while your tacking them together. BTW, Gene Olson is the person that turned me on to these little clamps a couple of years ago. » reply  great for teaching

Thanks to everyone for the positive comments on the video. I've been putting more energy into video documentaries lately and hope to provide other videos including other peoples work in the near future. Just have to see how everything goes. Seems like there just isn't enough time to do everything I love doing! » reply wow

You're doing a great job of
You're doing a great job of documenting this QuiQue! Thanks. I like the music too. The flash videos are working very well for me with my slower speed DSL connection, which is averaging just under 700 kb/s downloading.
