When it became soft enough we tied one end into a drill and the other to a vice. We spun the rod using the drill. it was then cut to length, and welded on one by one. After each fringe was welded on, Ryan (the welder) re heated it and I took used my hands (welding gloves on of course) and swept them along the heat-softened metal. We then sandblasted the sculpture which removed the anneal and froze them in place. Look up the video about it on my website for more info. "Sarah Winnemucca, The Dream Fulfilled". Thank you for including my art on your blog, and thank you for the great questions.Ben Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15639916050579959444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5988186310250612269.post-18184591373159273742010-09-24T13:20:11.463-07:002010-09-24T13:20:11.463-07:00Ouch is right I would not want to sit on that lol ...Ouch is right I would not want to sit on that lol I loved this post and all the little facts that you added.

But we had been on the road for 20 days without rain so the carwash was on the top of the list!!!<br />WOW what great music, each Saturday night on one of the HD Public stations we watch Mountain Song and the Woodsong Radio Hour..this type music reminds me of that and my TN MT. ROOTS--ever notice how banjo players only move their fingers--amazing!!<br />Love the deer!!!!Sondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03485055844682296876noreply@blogger.com
