xmas tree

[chunkolini]

Mrs Crazy Face wanted a metal christmas tree, shaped like a holly leaf.
Okey dokey.

2m tall, made out of 30x5mm strip.
Took an afternoon to make.
Daft idea I thought, but yet again MrsCF was right.
Might also be for sale in the spring as a kind of virtual tree.

smart. best not let the missus see that she will be wanting one!

 

[roofman]

1, Thanks for the comments guys.
2, there are some (1) cultural heathens here. (in jest)
Wheelchair welder, my interfering wife has over the years had some great ideas. I usually think 'hmm daft idea' and make it anyway, then people go 'Oh how clever'.
But all my best stuff is somebody else's idea. I just have to work out how to shut them up.

Hammer and gaffer tape followed by a shovel?

Very nice idea,congratulations to the Chunkolini "TEAM'

How about making it 3D with another welded at 90*

And the best thing is, when it looks old and tired, all you have to do is repaint it! Brilliant! It could also be a multi seasonal tree with different paint jobs depending on the time of year...

 

[chunkolini]

I had thought of makinga 3d version.
Having it in the front room all evening is giving me a few ideas to build on.
An instant hedge or avenue of 'trees' for climbers to grow over is a possibility.
But painting it is a step too far.

Nice. Dude, how did you bend the bendy bits? - I'm thinking the 30x5 is edge on there.
