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
Thank you very much for this video tutorial. This helps me a lot in my current metal art projects. Kudos to you sir.
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!
Thank you so much Gary! I've got a clean sheet of 2mm also so I'll do a comparison maybe. All the very best. J
Excellent video sir seems like a real winner for sure! God bless you on all your endeavors..
Thank you Roy bless you too with yours!
Thank you for the video!!! Very helpful
Great works
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
Thank you Daniel! I'm hoping to have it finished next at some point, stay tuned. Cheers J
I recently started welding. This would be a great gift for my wife since she loves horses. I’m also a new sub!
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
Excellent!
Beautiful ❤
Excellent video
Thank you Adrian!
looks great
Thanks Tom!
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!
Thank you for watching. Cheers J
Super useful/helpful video, cheers! I think a pumas head would look great!
Thank you Oscar!
Awesome! I've been waiting for this since you mentioned it a while ago on my video.
Cheers William! I hope to finish the ram next week and make available. All the best my friend. J
@@joshuadelisle thank you. :)
I'm sure it'll turn out very well, considering your past work. Good luck and God bless.
Roy from Christ Centered forge said to check out your channel and I’m not disappointed!
What a nice man! Welcome and thank you for watching. Cheers J
Hey Josh,nice video,have a look at a throatless shear,clean,quick and far safer no noise either ;)
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.
That sounds like a great idea! I like Michael's work, he's a very interesting man I would like to meet one day. Thanks Ian, take care. J
nibler + cold chisel gfor iner corners
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
@@joshuadelisle That sounds good I might try to come down for it I do enjoy the shows.
I keep threatening to attempt to have a go at doing the championship again.... But never have I got the time, hopefully that will change one day.
@@joshuadelisle That would be really good can imagine you would put out some good stuff. One day when I get good I might give it a go. 😀
@@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.
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..
Hey Joshua, I had someone that said you sent them to my channel. I wanted to thank you for that! So, thank you. :)
Fantastic! which video did they watch?
@@joshuadelisle as far as I know, the one that I made titled "One Way to Start an Anthracite Forge". Thanks again!
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.
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
Good man Josh. You're very welcome. Keep up the great work. Looking forward seeing this work develop. Thanks again.
@@heardashot thank you so much catch up you soon. J
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.
Thanks Benjamin! I think its wise to keep some of my USP to myself. The tricks that make your work unique are sometimes best kept secret. ;)
@@joshuadelisle haha, fair enough
good job bro
Thank you so much. Cheers J
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
I can weld 0.3mm . Glad I found this gonna make it out of copper
Nice. Do tag me on Instagram so I can see it. 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.
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.
Thank you. I do have an idea for something like what you say, simple yet beautiful. Thanks for watching and encouraging these videos. Cheers J
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.
That's where I got mine, must be on offer. You can replace the blades on it. I know this because the one at my work place snapped....
@@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
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?
I aim to cut to the centre of the line as best as I can. Cheers J
So cool. What software do you use to create the designs?
Thank you. I use SOLIDWORKS and sketch up pro.
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 :)
Thank you. I recommend 1.5mm if using TIG, 2mm if using MIG and 3mm if using stick (1.5 6013). cheers J
@@joshuadelisle Thank you so much!
@@martinrandez7021 Anytime. cheers j
잘보고갑니다~감사
We miss you, get back soon
Thank you. Life gets so busy... J
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
Yes and yes I'll look into it. Cheers J
Thanks man!
About the scale reduction, would it.work just fine?
@@evo_pakito yes. I've made a few small ones and would love to do a gigantic one and I'll use the same pattern. Cheers J
Awesome! I'll give it a try then! :)
Yo he comprado para hacer la cabeza del caballo en chapa de 2 mm y las orejas son imposibles de hacer se podría hacer mejor en chapa de 1,2 mm?
Hi Yes 1mm-2mm is fine, thinner is easier to form but harder to weld. cheers J
@@joshuadelisle gracias voy a intentar con chapa en 1,2 mm porque las orejas me cuestan mucho hacerlas !!!
How do I buy or purchase the templates?
Hi. There should be a link in the description of the video. Cheers J
hi .sir want ss letters cutting. pleas how i cutt my ss small letters easy
Best to ask your local laser cutting company. Cheers J
What gage metal is this?
in this 1mm, I recomend 1.5 to 2mm
