Artisan Crafts / Metal Work

"Intro to Welding" assignment for my Blacksmithing course. We were supposed to fabricate and weld a steel cube with the oxy-fuel process. I needed a small challenge to keep me interested.

This was inflated in the forge and tumbled. 10 gauge mild steel.

I love it! seems like such a fun thing to handle.

~Cuivielin Aug 3, 2008

Ooh yes, it is!
I would like to make a really big one, but that would need a monster forge

*Feybles Aug 3, 2008 Artisan Crafter

I can imagine! would be a great project though...

I love this! It is so cool. How big is it? Not very baby friendly though

~Cuivielin Apr 5, 2008

About 6" to a side. Definitely not for chewing on

i'm familiar with the inflating process, but what is tumbling?

~Cuivielin Mar 15, 2008

A tumbler is a cylindrical drum that get rotated with lots of small steel pellets inside. Basically it acts like the steel version of a rock polisher, taking all the slag and sharp edges off one's pieces. It's also louder than a dozen grinders going at once! I didn't do any finishing on this piece post-tumble, so what you see is how it comes out.
