Forging an Octopus Sculpture

Happy New Year!
I'm glad to be back making a few videos again, and to start the new year off I make this Octopus sculpture.
I use a mixture of traditional and modern techniques to get it done, I hope you enjoy the video!

A 60 degree V swage on the bottom is great for welding round bundles like this. Keeps everything pushing towards the center.

Yes another good option!
