<p>[QUOTE="springfld.arsenal, post: 350433, member: 54"]Re the first pic with George under a sculpture. In answer to my question of how the precise repeated designs were cut in the hard stainless steel, the answer was computer-controlled high-pressure water jet. I think the edges of the cuts are more smooth and even than when a Computer-controlled plasma-torch is used. George made the steel armature that forces the stainless steel into the big curves or curls you see, apparently the armature is removed once the stainless steel is permanently bent to the desired shape. George will be on the National Mall on Earth Day with his massive crushed-and-bent drum sculpture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
