Welding and Painting

30 days flew by while I was working on two projects at the same time. let's see if I can get the blog caught up to today without writing a book.
I riveted all the symbols on the pedestal parts instead of welding to preserve the sharp detail.

Then all the parts were welded together.
The metal leather was stretched over the drum top and held with metal rawhide
It was a sunny day so moved the stand outside to get a good look at the shadows and texture.
The first day of painting started with primer.
Two days later I painted it red. 
Two days later I painted it orange.


Two days later I painted it black.
