Paula it's beautiful. I love the use of metals, the way the leg on the left bends slightly at the top. Exactly how a real tree would. It's really nice. Please do tell how you did? » reply  bending trees

I'm not sure how to reply to that question... after seeing such nice things on this website....... To bend the 'branches' i used an acetylene torch to heat the steel... that's it... and 'eye-balled' it ...... Paula » reply How did you join the Copper?

Turned out very nice. How did you join the copper leaves to steel? I would love to work with copper but am very, very inexperienced and was wondering how you joined them. What type of rod was used, if welded? » reply reply

The copper was joined by brazing the two metals together, using an acetylene torch. Copper is a lot of fun, and forgiving. It has a tendency to become 'work hardened', so needs to be reheated to soften it. If given a chance, you should try it. Thanks for your compliments!! I'm fairly new at this as well, since 2001... but I'm having lots of fun!!! » reply |
