Thank you Alan. I'm doing a stag next and another video on the horse to give a bit more details from the feedback I've got from people who have been making it. It's very popular. All the very best. Cheers J
halleluja! finally someone explains all this in like entry mode. Way too much "pro's" out there showing off with gear nobody can afford doing stuff just for fun (or for art, that is). Thank you very much indeed!
Great to see another video from you, Joshua -- and I was impressed by the ingenuity you showed in setting up your cutting/nibbling table. That sparked some ideas... Clyde
Thanks Clyde. It was cheap and it works. My electric shears I showed last work very well and I'll probably use those mainly and use the rig for difficult parts. Thank you as always and catch you in the next video. J
Oh my! A rams head? That would quite be very interesting to me. I'd very much like to see how that flashes out...as I've a place for that. Thank you for sharing this w us and making available your art. Blessed days sirSir, Crawford out
This is excellent! I've looked at your videos, do you have on creating the 3D model. I've figured out low-poly models with Fusion 360 and Pepakura but your models are surfaces not flats. I'm curious how you took a surface model, maybe in blender or meshmixer, and created all the flats.
great video Joshua, very helpful for those on a budget or just hobbying from a shed. Can't wait to see you put it together, i'll have to brush up on my TIG technique!
Am I the first to comment?? Ha!! Wonderful, just wonderful!! Really looking forward to getting stuck into this man's work from a dowload. Buried in other projects at the minute and need to close out before taking on this work. So excited and looking forward to getting in touch. Top work again Josh. Very well explained, patient & clear and made very interesting. Top marks man, very well done!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I hope to have the ram finished soon and made available. I'm going to do another horse video too that's better explained like this one. Cheers J
Hey Joshua, thanks for the advice on the various tools. I'm looking to start my first metal work project which is likely well beyond my realm of ability as I'm usually stuck behind a PC for most of my days so I don't have any experience whatsoever and especially since I haven't got any tools barring an angle grinder, couple of steel files, a small anvil and a few sized hammers one being nylon. This video has already given me the right idea to invest in one of those metal sheers straight away to try and limit some of the pain I'm going to endure which is ace so thanks for that. I'm just looking for a bit of extra guidance as a clueless nerd if possible please mate? And anyone else that wants to throw their two pence in of course :) I'm planning to use mild steel as my material since its cheap enough, pretty malleable (from what I have tried to look at) and stronger than aluminium. Is 1mm - 1.2mm going to be workable by hand without heat? I will need to create some nice curves such as bowl shapes for instance, these can of course be split into 2 pieces and welded together to make creating the individual pieces easier, but honestly I don't even know if I could achieve that at this point. As you can probably tell I'm a bit lost so any tips will be much appreciated 😅
@@PcGamerKenpachi thank you. One of my projects in 1mm steel is ideal but maybe difficult for a beginner. I recommend starting with 5mm flat bar or 3mm box section for your first projects. Make things like a forge and a stand for your anvil to start and get used to the welder and grinder. When it comes to 1mm steel, practice by welding strips together on a corner angle. Repetition is everything when learning a skill, it takes time for the brain to make the right connections so be patient. All the very best. Cheers J
@PcGamerKenpachi all the very best. Starting simple means you get to feel a sense of achievement by completing a project and learning from it. To start on an advanced project means you'll be frustrated and waste a lot of material whilst not completing the job to high standard which may then dishearten you to continue pushing through. Start at boss lvl 1 not lvl 100... Cheers J
Dude!!!!! Making me crazy nervous with your fingers sooooooo close to the jig saw... but!!! This is some very interesting project, I will be contacting ya..
You maybe could. To be honest I use an electronic hand shear mostly these days and only use 1mm thick steel for these sculptures. Very quick and efficient.
Very nice design on the Ram's head Joshua. What about adding a die grinder to that bolt on cutting table set up you have? Michael Cthulhu (love or hate him) has a die grinder set up that way which he uses to profile edges and such on those stoopidly large blades he makes. I'm sure it would work well for plate, if not for cutting out the shapes themselves then certainly for cleaning up the edges.
Hey Joshua, Great video love that Jigsaw and nibbler setup will definitely have to borrow that idea and get one made. Can't wait to see the next one, hope to see you at Bringsty Forge In. 😁
Thanks Luke. Maybe I've missed most of their forgins but if I'm free I'll try and be there. I'll be stewarding at the Royal welsh this year if you're going to that. Cheers J
@@lukemccullagh2504 its worth doing the championship just to learn and network even if you don't win. I learn a lot when I do the shows just by watching and chatting. Practicing for the live is a good incentive to better your skills also.
Great stuff. Would an up-cutting jigsaw blade help? With your set-up, it would naturally pull the material into the table. Looking forward to the next stage already!
In the current set up the blade serrations pull to the bench as you say. If they pointed up it would push the steel away. Cheers for watching I hope you like the way it turns out. J
I’ve one of those Homebase nibblers, which Homebase were flogging off in a sale. Been very good so far, only drawback is that it doesn’t like fine trimming - ie you need at least some metal on both sides of cut. Compared to a v expensive DeWalt a pal of mine has, it doesn’t cut as straight. But that DeWalt was a good 300 quid. While this isn’t relevant to your video, the other thing the Homebase nibbler doesn’t like is pressed steel profiled roofing sheets as the drill gets in the way. Also no difference in performance using a mains or 18v drill. Do keep up the great work. Just because you’re not getting thousands and thousands of viewers doesn’t mean that you’re not appreciated. Best wishes and thanks.
Thank you so much that is very kind of you! For £10 not bad compared to the £300 ones. you can get extensions that help with roofing bits. My shears I showed at the end cost me about £250 Bosch's 110v, Its very fast if I let loose. All the best and thank you for your support. Cheers J
Really cool! Any chance you have any more beginner friendly sculpture downloads? Something that doesn't have complex bends, kinda blocked or squared off things? I'd be a buyer if it doesn't look as intimidating as your awesome horse and ram head lol.
Great video, thanks for posting. Just subscribed. Any chance of a video or explanation of how you go about working out the pattern for a new piece? Is it just trial and error with paper cut outs or a clever computer program?
Hi James thank you for subscribing! its taken me a while to perfect but I have a system that works well, I hope to fully make use off it as a business so I dont share the designing only the designs at least for now. i'm just welding up the Ram skull just now and hope to release the patterns soon.cheers J
Hi Joshua! Nice demo on how to approach your project! One question, what sheet metal thickness would you suggest for this type of welding sculpture project? thanks :)
Hey there, would it work if I scale it down to 50% and print the templates on a4 sheets? Also, would you be able to create a template for asclepius rod? I'd love to try to build one hahaha
I was hoping this video would go more into how you translate designs in your head to real life, like how did you design your horsehead pattern to work in the 2D to 3D kinda way. This was a good video too though, I like that jig you made.
@@AtheneNoctuaAudiobooks Hi. To be honest I need to find better software myself. I used a combination of sketchup pro and SOLIDWORKS currently but very limited. Cheers J
I love how the whole video sounds like he is trying to explain how to use the instructions in case you didn't read the instructions. "Tech support: I read to literate people."
Sometimes it feels that way... I have sent this video as a link in emails just to save me typing it again and again. I try to give all the information I can in the descriptions but like you say some people just don't read it.
I recently started welding. This would be a great gift for my wife since she loves horses. I’m also a new sub!

could you use an pulsating electro magnet to hold the material to the surface, whilst still being able to move it?
You maybe could. To be honest I use an electronic hand shear mostly these days and only use 1mm thick steel for these sculptures. Very quick and efficient.

do you cut up to and leave the black line when cutting the metal? or do you remove the black line when cutting the metal?
