HOW TO TIG WELD SILICON BRONZE - Making a Kustom Urn For WOODY 

When my brother in law passed suddenly, I too was asked to make an urn for his ashes. I am more of a wood guy than metal {so far} and I really wanted something nice for him. As I was putting it together and listening to the old motown music he loved. I never cried so hard in my life. But, at the same time it brought me a certain peace and acceptance about the whole thing. So, I kind of have an Idea of what this must have been like for you. As sad as it is, I hope you were able to find some peace and happiness in this project as I did in mine.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. It would be an honour to build an urn for his remains.

I'm a friend of Dusty and I'm am so impressed with what you did for woody ..thanks

What an honor make that for the family! It seems fitting.

I’m sure his family and Woody is proud of his new resting place in the urn you made in his honor. Thank you for sharing!

Stunning art deco execution and something to be proud of! The skill and execution are just awe inspiring! Seriously, magnificent! Go Japhands, keep moving forward, and thank you for the incredible content!

Thanks for sharing this journey through such a personal project. Definitely enjoyed this project!

Well done Karl! I think it is a fitting tribute to tour friend Woody. I am a retired funeral director and I always loved it when a family had a custom made urn for a final resting place for their loved one. You are a true friend. Thanks and we'll see you next time.

Looks great buddy! Super stoked on this project, what a wonderful way to remember a friend.

Brilliant! Looks amazing. Perhaps glue some felt on the underside of the base, so it won’t scratch furniture etc.

It is so nice to be given the chance / honour to make something like. Great job.

That thing is dope! 🤘 I’d hang out in it for eternity with pride.

you're an amazing fabricator, and an amazing person. Thanks for the videos!!

The noise in the background can only be the plasma table cutting out the tools from the last video! very nice of you to do this for a friend. Much respect!

That looks beautiful. The clear coat brightened up the old paint and enhanced the contrast between that and the bare metal. The overall texture with raw weld bead and everything else looks really sharp! At least on camera.

You nailed it. The patina is great and the bronze welds fit with the patina perfectly. The pinstriping will totally knock it out of the park.😊

What a great idea ! I love anything that shows off your tig welding technique and the silicon bronze takes a little practice for sure. I'm sure Woody would be proud of his personalized urn. Thanks for sharing Karl !!

Any old gearhead must have one in stock, great job!

Absolutely beautiful.
