Dectrative Metal M

Intro: Dectrative Metal M

This is a Decorative M to match with a first or last name. It stands up straight without support. It is easy to make if you have the equipment to do it.

STEP 1: Cut Rod Iron

Use the 14" cold saw to cut 4 (45 degrees) of the rod iron. Each piece should be 1 foot long.

STEP 2: Position Pieces

Place your pieces how you want them the tac weld the pieces together so they do not move while you are welding.

STEP 3: Weld Together

Once you have tacked it together you can start welding. For the sides, I fusion welded the pieces together but for the valley, I needed to add the filter rod in for extra metal. For the sides, I did the small circles method and for the peaks and valleys, I did the back and forth method. The Welds will not come out very well because of the cheap metal.

STEP 4: Clean Welds

Use the cordless grinder but with a wire brush wheel and go over the welds and clean.
