Boogie boarderSurfer weathervaneHi to you all at artmetal am new too posting and relatively new to metal sculpture. There is some great work on this site and what I do is amateur at best.With more knowledge and experience I hope it can leed to bigger and better.You have to start somewhere. The weather vanes are related to watersport images(windsurfing,kitesurfing,surfing images) done in a silhouette using sheet1.2mm,3mm up to 10mm rod all polished to good as I can get. Currently using 316 as the material is alredy in shed but as I replace this I was wandering if I could use 304? I am also wandering what finish to order the material as I am aware various finishes are avilable?The main aim is to keep the costs down.I am aiming on a high level on my polished finish.Nothing like the reflection of the sun being cast across the yard as the vane spins in the sun.

Hello all,

Talking about galvanized steel again, coat-hanger width/gauge, - any ideas on how to clean it up after it has been worked on (soldered) - Looking to remove oxidation and generally clean the metal.
