My weekend
 

So this weekend was my girlfriends birthday that was at her fathers vineyard. They celebrate a harvest fest each year at this time, with dancing, grape stomping etc. So I snapped a few pics.

They wanted to roast a pig luau style so the night before we had a large fire to get the pit ready. Flames well over 10 feet.

Now I'm eating ----, that guy must not have liked me shoving my finger in his ass haha.

I have never been so sticky in my life! it was alot of fun. Before the grape fight we had a stomping contest and I won! it was pretty cool.

So before we went to the vineyard I made a special gift for my girlfriend. I wanted to give her something nobody ever has. She really likes the Hibiscus flower/plant.. So I thought I could make one myself.

Heres some pedals being ready to be cut out. (this is my first time ever with thin sheet metal)

Gotta keep it hmt style.. using a 3in SS chunk of pipe I had laying around for a vase. Polished it up nice on the inside.

This was the first flower I made, it was a huge pain in the ass. The metal was soooooo thin, and I wasnt sure how to weld it. I had my welder on the lowest setting possible but it was still burning through.

got some SS rod and bent it up to make it look like real vines.. I actually went out and bought a real hibiscus to mock this after. (gotta love the ---- in the background haha)

all 3 flowers together.. after a few hours trying to use the tig, I said ---- it and busted out the mig. Especially on the leaves.

All done! took around 20 hours to do, everything was cut out by hand. I was pretty pleased and so was she! =)

I was going to paint it, but I think the metal look is pretty sweet.


btw, donavan I'll get on your project now! ;)
