Recreating an existing part is resto / fabrication.. If He created a completely new bracket will still be fab.. metal work can be considered an art form..but I don't feel that would be the case here.

now ya add pictures,,lol very nice work,,but fab. not art

 

Excellent work.

 

its ovious its fabracation !

 

Art? Let's see the backside to decide................

Very nice craftsmanship!

What ever you call it- it's great metal work!

 

WTF YOU asked

so why the additude

 

Took some skills to do that no matter what you call it...that Caddy is sittin' pretty but wouldn't expect anything less from you guys

 

Looks like some good matel fab to me. I guess if it were art I would call myself a artist instead of a fabricator. Not hard to do with the right tools and craftmanship.

 

1st attempt you say?
I'd say he has a great teacher!

Fabrication is an art.
Look at all the hacks and wannabe's that manage to screw it up.
It looks like Li'l Dave is headed in the right direction Alex.
Be proud.

 

no atatude that was my opion "its fabracation" i think you took me wronge

 

thanxs richard lil dave will like that

 

If you hang it on the wall its art, cause it is pretty. If it is actually gonna be put to use as in your case, it is nice fabrication! Looks real nice

 

perhaps I did,,regardless as I said very nice work.

 

Nice job Dave!!!

 

That is sweet, I love working metal and it's great to see a job very well done.

It's fabrication, which in itself is an art

 

What he said

 

It's fartication,,,,,which Dave is getting very good at.

Excellent work is there anyway you could give some tips on how you got it shapped? If it was cut out from templates, and welded or you had some way of stamping or bending. Either way you did it, it looks like artwork to me.

 

wow that is nice id love to learn how to do that!any chance for a tech?

 

From some of the modern art I've seen THAT is DEFINITELY ART - no doubt about it!!!

 

As a 'professional artist' I am of the considered opinion that damned near anything that involves a high degree of creativity is 'Art'.

Thus...yes, this is Art.

 

i think it's: if you get paid it's fabrication, if you don't it's art.

 

Real nice work....Possibly a future line for you Alex? Specially if you can't get them any more.

 

Both ... Art and Fabrication .... Not just anyone can build something like that. You have to have a eye for that stuff.. Easier said than done.. IMO

 

Excellent and impressive craftsmanship! If he's really a novice, then he's obviously talented and has a great future in this craft. Art, however, is something else.

 

ill take a pic
normly i would t dolly the rolled edges then weld the 3 pieces to gether

in this case since it was my neffus first atempt i figured it would be easyer for him to weld the corners from the back ,then grind the edge 's on the out side touch up weld as needed & round the edges

his next time will be the t dollys and tig

all and all they dont look bad from the back ethere

 

Fornication?! Nice work...
