I need to make a 24" diameter (outside) circle out of 1" square 16ga.
tubing. This will be the focal point of a decorative tall gate. Within
will be a Lauburu (kind of a four leaf clover), which is the national symbol
of the Basque people.
I have the following tools:
Acetylene torch (in case I need to bend it hot)
500 lb. anvil
metal band saw (could make a million slits, bend and weld back together)
Lathe (could make dies for the 1" tubing and build a three wheel bender).
This project has to look good. If I need to send it out and have it
commercially fabricated, so be it, but, I would rather buy/make tools and do
it myself.
Any additional ideas?
Thanks, and Merry Christmas to everyone.
