Super cool design, looks great

Chris - very nicely done! What is the name of the club?

David

They're called 'The Divergent MCC' based in Lincolnshire, uk.

Chris - I thought that looked like a capital "A" incorporated into the piece, so I had assumed maybe their club name started with "A".
But I guess I was wrong. Thanks!

m pretty sure its a capital A too. Unsure of the actual meaning behind the design etc. The guy i dealt with gave me a logo used on the clubs patch, and i just adapted it to make it work dxf format.

Another hanging sign. Created for a local tattoo shop.
Left bare metal finish, awaiting the customers paint scheme. Centre text has been made double sided so can be read from both sides. Hence the white panel.

Tattoo.

Nice work! I assume we are looking at the same side in both images. What does the other side look like?

Nice work!
You could actually make the entire sign double sided. Cut two rounds and sandwich white or whatever color between them.
Weld one to the outer rim, insert color panel and then bolt the two together.

[Jb_engineering]

Yes david, they are the same side. One has a ring around it for added strength as is going to be a sign that is hung outside the customers shop. The other is a sign that is fixed to the internal wall for decoration. The idea of just having the insert was that 'The Art Of Ink' was readable from both sides, the customer wanted the design to be as open as i could get it, hence why i didnt place to of them back to back.

A few from today.

Something a little different today. A 6ft sleeping cowboy.

[plasmanewbie]

Checked out all your most recent work posted. It all looks fantastic but really like that cowboy, well done!

A bench ive recently finished.

[plasmanewbie]

Very nice! Modified an existing bench or built the bench from scratch?

[adbuch]

Nice work Chris! I'm guessing this is a scratch build. My question is how did you bend the rectangular tubing? Or did you get pre-bent pieces and cut and weld them together?

David

[Jb_engineering]

All made from scratch. We have a set of rollers in the workshop i used to roll the box section. But couldnt get it enough, so had to cut every 1/2 inch and bend manually untill desired curve. Turned out pretty good imo.

When you sliced it every 1/2" to bend, did you weld in filler pieces and then grind smooth? Yes - it looks great!
David

[Jb_engineering]

Yes, cut the thickness of grinding disc, then welded and smoothed.

Amazing looking bench, great work! Do you build the entire bench yourself or customize a premade bench?
