The barrel shavings are how I make the welding rods.

But I did think of using it instead of clay

I think Nat is making a lovely Blue Barrel home for himself and Emily I am waiting for him to rock up to work in a nice Blue Barrel 4WD. Your imagination is fantastic, Nat

Well if people can make homes from wine bottles and bales of hay I am sure that Nat can make a home for himself and Emily and all the fish with blue barrels.

WOW! An artist at AP design work.. no clue what this would shape up! Don't disturb... people!

Nat - do you make your designs on concrete and sweep up the plastic dust?
I've found that it gets everywhere and I feel a little guilty if I don't get it all swept up.

I try do most of my cutting over a barrel the rest i just have to sweep up what i can but yes over concrete is easyest.

Only a few pieces to go.

Blimey, you have been busy..... Damn good welding practice..

Neat no worry about rot or rust, and it's just cool well done.

How do you find the plastic welder Nat? Cheers

Its awesome! when I get time to use it but for anyone looking to weld blue barrels a good soldering iron with good temp control can work just as good. its all in the temp controll.
If you what the best possible weld then spend the money on welding rods and a plastic welder and spend some time practicing

Thank you.

Nice job Nat, looking a bit like the Eiffel Tower

Nat, in all seriousness you should have your template replicated and sell it. Your videos are all over the world and I know there are a bunch of people that would pay for it, (myself included). I looked at the pictures of it you posted but quite honestly I am not computer literate enough to put it together to the proper scale.

Ill post some of the other ways to make it when I get a chance
