I have a customer wanting 'Something interesting' to go inside his house.
I always like vague ideas like this. We had a bit of a chat and he asked if I had ever looked at DNA and double helix shapes. I showed him two examples and we agreed upon a 2.3m tall double helix. around 38cm in diameter made ina mix of 8mm round bar and 20x3mm strip. All mild steel
Cue lots of repetitious work but it keeps me happy. Once started no decisions just follow a set of simple rules.
So far so good, a day to make the rings and a day and a half to make the first metre of the sculpture.
Day 1
Day 2
Pretty good progress, it seems to be staying straight and developing a lovely helix shape.
