SEE VIDEO BELOW OF ME TALKING ABOUT THIS SCULPTURE
Weighing it at nearly 2 pounds, this big guy is JACKED yet he can very precisely and gently hold his balance. Though the weights he holds are incredibly heavy, they are the key to his physique and his ability to balance.
This sculpture was built starting with nothing but bare stainless steel barstock. Using my TIG welder, I slowly added weld on top of weld and placing metal where muscle and flesh should be. Sculpting this figure out of steel was a challenge on its own. Getting it to balance properly while still retaining his look was another hurdle!
I spent many hours cutting, welding and re-cutting his arms away from his body in order to get it to balance correctly. Even the weights he holds were designed by me. They are machined from solid stainless steel and then I built the bar that the weights slide onto. They even spin as they are naturally connected to the bar like a real dumbbell. There is only one small tack-weld holding the end plate and the rest in place.
The tiny ball he effortlessly balances on is a hardened stainless steel bearing - much harder than the rest of his body. This allows his weight to rest on this tiny point without distorting the metal as well as enable it to create the least amount of friction against two hard and polished surfaces.
This sculpture marks another step in fine art metal sculpture for me. It has taken me years to improve my anatomy-sculpting abilities! This is another design I am incredibly proud of!
It comes with the extra large and tall base in the photos. This base is 5 pounds on its own!!
