My mom needed a birthday present for someone else so we kinda made this together in an afternoon, it got a pretty good reaction with the recipient :)

It works really well! Unless you only have concrete in your garden haha

There are so many trashy garden tools on junkyards and yard sales... maybe this is a good use for them?

I especially like the look of the copper rivets against the black steel, what do you think?

thanks for looking at my personal bronze boccher

The frame and hanger already existed so I only made two signs to fill it (one for each side).

I began by making models from mdf using my laser cutter.

Then I cast all letters and logo parts individually in brass using sandcasting and riveted them to the painted aluminum baseplates.

Sandcasting always creates a nicely textured surface which reacts wonderfully to patina so the surface has a lot of life and character compared to standard sheetmetal.

I hope you enjoyed the video!
