Making a 1-Sided 3-D Sculpture - Kevin Caron

Using a ring roller on his slip roll, artist Kevin Caron creates a three-dimensional piece with one surface. Yes, it's a mind-bender.

@000blind000 Thanks, don't forget to stop by my site and check out the rest of my work. Lots of videos and photo to see.

Wonderful work! I always look forward to your next posting.

@kazl1m It has been a real mind bender to work on. Trying to get everything flat and straight when I am making each piece one at a time is a challenge.

Nice looking work there Kevin, I'm guessing that's all going to be Mig welded?

[kevincaron]

@xhairsfordemocracy Thanks, Yeah, it is almost all MIg. I used the Tig for some of the outside welds. The Mig just works better for all this one handed welding. I should get this one finished soon. Stay tuned...

Oh...AWESOME!!! Love the idea of filling parts with varying metals.
