The Work of Greg Brotherton

I just came across Greg Brothertons web site and found some great figures done entirely in sheet metal. If I had made these figure I’d want to complete all the welds and grind them smooth. But he resists that temptation and incorporates the tack-welds (all the small dots you see along the seems) into the lines.

I find this really interesting because he was able to create some really complex surfaces here without really taking the sheet metal off it plane.

It’s likely he creates a paper template of each section of sheet metal and then cuts it out and tacks it on.

Be sure to check out his gallery which has some other cool stuff in it.
