After I finished forging the other two legs I forged the cross braces.
This is the first test fit-up for the major elements.
To create the illusion of thickness I emboss some flat bar and curve it to fit under the top.
I forged the ends of the cross braces and weld everything together then moved the stand outside into the bright sunshine. I really like the combination of the rough surface texture and changing contours.
Today I finished forging the vines so I made a symbolic offering of thanks to Vulcan and ask him to guide me on my final quest. Tomorrow the flowers and leaves will begin to become part of the vines that will encircle the legs of the stand.
