The top portion is a decorative hand forged steel post top
from King Architectural Metal. I just
extend the post, added the eyes, nose and feet.
The high gloss paint is One Shot Paint.
For the eyes, I like to recess the steel ball bearings into
a partially drilled hole. The recess
allows the ball bearings to be brazed giving a clean look.
The nose is 18 gauge metal bent around a steel rod. The hide the welds, I randomly weld the entire
nose. I then grind the entire surface leaving
part the welds showing.
The feet consist of half spheres brazed to a ¼” steel
plate. The brazing allows for well
defined line for painting.
