The document provides instructions for making a metal balancing surfer man sculpture in 14 steps. It involves cutting metal pieces to form the surfboard, arms, legs and back of the figure and drilling holes. The pieces are then bent, welded and ground to shape. Washers are added to find the proper counterweight and a steel rod is turned on a lathe to create a stand for the completed sculpture to balance on.

METAL WORKS

SURFER/BALANCING MAN
By: Eshaan Cheema
STEP 1
Get a piece of metal mark it 1"x4" and cut it out with a plasma
cutter
STEP 2
After that you grind your project and then sand it.
STEP 3
Now you have to mark three holes in the middle and use the drill bit
to drill all three holes.
STEP 4
Now you get a 6 inch steel wire and cut two 2.5 inch pieces out for
the arms and legs and one 1" piece for the back.
STEP 5
Now you bend the pieces to shape them into arms and legs.
STEP 6
Now you get a 14" steel rod which I cut out and then you cut one
inch from the rod.
STEP 7
Bend the wire with the slip roll
STEP 8
Then you bend one inch off of the rod to make a hook
STEP 9
Weld all of the parts together
STEP 10
Grind off the extra bits on the bottom of the surf board
STEP 11
File any other extra parts of your man/surf board
STEP 12
Put a long steel rod into the bandsaw and cut off 5.5 inches
STEP 13
Get some washers and tape them to the end of your other copper
coated wire that is attached to the surfer man and see how much
metal you need to make your man balance and when you do find a
piece of metal equivalent to the size of the washers stacked up
STEP 14
Put the 5.5 inch steel rod into the lathe and make a little divot on
one of the ends
