Bronze Octopus by ~ThisIsFake1234
A stunning sculptural work, this octopus looks not to be trusted with anything set on top of this table! A delightfully surreal creation!

Description
This is the finished bronze octopus, modeled off the blue ring octopus, my friend (Isaac Krauss) and I worked on. He came up with the concept and sculpted the body of the octopus and I came in to help with the wax work and welding. The glass tabletop sits loose on top of the legs. Welding the legs to hold the glass tabletop level was a very rewarding and challenging process. I've certainly improved my TIG welding skills a lot because of my work on this octopus. An interesting thing about this sculpture is that the eyes are hand blown glass. In all the table weighs about 500 lbs which means we have put about $5,000 into building it. We estimate that we put around 1500 man hours into this project. If you are curious the table is sold.
