That is great work. Please keep us posted as it progresses.

It is reminiscent of an I-MAX movie that I once saw about a sculpture's work, William (Bill) Lishman, "The Last Buffalo" .


Much of this 3-D film was shot in his blacksmith shop, where you watched him work the steel and other metals, with power hammers and all the tools of the trade.


The 3-D effect of molten metal heading straight for my lap was just about too much for me.

To keep the images legal, here is a link to one of the pages of his site.

If you track back to his home page you can see many of his other metal sculptures.

I skipped a couple of pages of topic posts, and maybe I missed it, but if not, could you ladies relay any info about the tools, welding and otherwise that you find valuable in your project?

Thanks for sharing this with us.

I guess I skipped a a page or two too many. So let me say thanks for the serpent mother info, also.
Thats an enormo-zilla ..... project!

Hey James,
I hope my posted images didn't whak your dial-up too badly, but you can see, it would be hard to describe what I was talking about. If broad-band is available in your area it's usually about as cheap as dial-up now.

Oh yes, I sure am glad to hear there won't be any gender-cide!

r90s,
I don't think James has an OPTION of getting broadband even if he wanted to!!! Place where I would live on the Big Island of Hawaii, where land is more affordable, is very rural, and I would only have dial-up also...but it's STILL going to be a long while till I would move there, so maybe by then, there will be broadband...

What I did when I lived in the mountains of Idaho, was to get satellite tv that gave me broadband download capability also, but upload then was still dial-up. It worked pretty well though as most of the load is download.

They sometimes will give you the equipment, if you sign up for a year.

Hopefully my suggestions in the forum are helpful

I was wondering about the satellite tv thing. Hope he'll get this message! If not, I'll redo it tomorrow night

So it does not give off a lot of heat...That explains why the audience is so close! I love it. Weldress

This is a photo of piece of mine called Windswept Silhouette...a life size figure in Corten steel rooted on a piece of granite(91/2 feet to her elbow).
I have tried making the photo smaller for we who have dial-up.
Bill Lishman, mentioned earlier in the thread is brilliant at everything he does, and also a very nice guy.
Years ago he created a huge replica of Stonehenge called 'Autohenge' using wrecked cars standing on end. weldress
