Before you begin, keep in mind ...

This book is to give you an idea of how I go about creating realistic works with barbed wire. I probably am not explaining everything as I take for granted that you have a good “eye” in order to capture the shape and proportions of what you are creating.

I also take for granted that you know how to weld with Oxygen and Acetylene. I touch briefly on these things, but you will have to have more information in these areas if you are a beginner.

I love the barbed wire because of the texture the twisted wire makes. The barbs are really immaterial and often actually get in the way. When this happens I cut or weld them off in that area. When I want it to be smooth I often use the barbs to weld the wire together, thus getting rid of the actual barb, or melt the barbs into the wire, along the way. If it is not in a place that needs to be welded, I will often still weld them down so as to have the finished sculpture smooth to the touch. Just for the sake of keeping the “romance” of being barbed wire, I will often leave just a few barbs but keep them in areas that will be out o. reach to the touch.

With these items in mind, I trust you will enjoy what I am sharing.
