Hi All of the components are thick metal , the welding is pretty blobby but strong enuff ,its not an example of welding,jcan followust a stab at a scrap sculpture,I think the inspiration for a go is the most important thing, the rest can follow, I laid it all out on the bench and played around with the bits until I got what I wanted given the bits available the start was a sketch and then 2 angle brackets bent and welded to form the "frame" then eyeballed everything until it looked ok then started gluing it together, admittedly I am lucky in that I have lots of bits of scrap etc available.The real inspiration was my brother in laws 60th and what do you give someone other than the usual ,.
