Album: Profile (Jamespeter100)

by Jamespeter100
Bending the wire segments. After bending the wire with pliers, it was found that the lengths wouldn't be the same. Hence, here, 22mm holes have been drilled with a spade bit, and 22mm dowel used. The segents will be the right lengths.
Making a sleigh from wire sold at Bunnings. Note, keep the material clear of candles, don't leave them unattended.
With succulents. The problem, is if multiple candles are used, people will bet on with candle causes the rest to catch fire first.
The "S" links.
The larger "S" links.
The bottom section. Now to find a larger round item, for the larger diameter circle.
All done.
It was found, that a rod with a hold drilled in the end was handy. The wire could be caught in the rod, and actively wound around the dowel.
Over time, have found the maximum amount of contact area is required, hence the double loop.

For a container, a milk drink container. Here, the width of the sleigh is adjusted to suit the container.
Using the end of a pallet, and hanging the items that need to sit vertically.
Another photo, if the sides don't hang perpendicular, to the cross members, pegs can be used as weights.
Now for the arrangement. If using flowers, there is floral art foam. Notice that the top of the foam is above the edge.
Start with the middle and work out.
A cheat, just cut the flowers to the same length.
Both sides done.
To mound the candle, tooth picks have been used, and inserted into holes made with a drill.
Picked some spring flowering Chrysanthemums.
FInsished. Hangon, need some pine cones.
Thin wire is used, and wrapped around the bits of the cone. To get the white snow effect, white glue that bunnings sell, with salt on the top.
A picture to show the wire wrapped around the cone.
Some more random pictures.
WIth the pine cones added.
Opps, looks like Santa has an incident involving the sleigh. The Star Wars characters are on hand to help out.
Here, starting to get the band back together.
Some other thihgs that can be made with wire. Not many know, Storm Troppers are clasic pianists. This is a bit like Dave Brubeck, can't read music.
Little drummer stromtropper.
Just a length of wire folded back on it's self.
Oh no, one of the space men has been ran over.
All good, recovered, and will continue toy deliveries.

Time to go and fold some more "COBOL" coding forms.

The saw used, althought I'm sure the cost of sawing the bits up, wouldn't be much.

The tan dog, Black, night sky, the darker brown, Natural Parprika, the lighter brown, Bronze Eucalyptus, the yellow was Curry Sauce, the white, vivid white.
Using house house bricks to get as alignment jigs.
