How Do I Make an Equilateral Triangle from Copper Piping?

[zaphodbb]

hey nice job, plastic ties are great for holding stuff together till you fit it all together. so next pics will be you sitting in it wi a bicardi an coke the and the second pic you look a lot smaller than i imagined

[Evastar]

There's still a lot to be done before it's ready, the corner domes need to be made, he made a sample one and has given it to a sheet metal fabricator to copy, so they won't be back until next week, the base needs to be made and painted, he has a sheet of wbp ply for that, and i have to order other stuff for it as well.

That's my four year old niece zap

Looks brill so far eva, done a nice job.

Well it's not finished yet zap, but all the triangles are made and welded, the middle section is put together and bolted with brass bolts, the top and bottom sections are bolted together, the top is just joined on with plastic ties at the moment, needs to be attached properly, and the base needs to be made.

I have a couple of pics of what's done so far, here they are:

The middle and the top section:

That looks fantastic mate. Well done.

hi luv what are your intentions with this new form of art.nice project.

[Evastar]

Well it has all been bolted together at this stage and the base/seat is under construction, 18mm wbp ply glued and screwed together, needs to be painted still. I also polished some of the copper pipes, i don't think i'll be doing that too often. So far it has taken my hubby 15 hours plus a helper (helper doesn't do that much good, but is needed to hold things and fetch and carry etc ).

The finished shape:



With the base:



What it looks like from the top of the garden:




You asked what it's going to be for cacti, it has two purposes, one to look nice in my garden, and two to sit in for meditating

By the way that is not a flowerbed on the left, it's my veg patch and i just dug the spuds out, that's why it's so bare looking
