|
|
OK you might remember last year I won a national metalworking competition with an art project I did. Well, the same company is about to start another competition.
Metal Supermarkets run it and this is a link to the competition. It starts January 13th 2020.
(It's run across 3 countries so be sure to enter the correct one)
https://metalmyway.com/
Details are vague but they do state on FaceBook that a plasma cutter can be had - that's what I had won.
I'm not paid to promote this but do know that many here mess with bikes and sometimes do fabrication. It costs nothing to enter. The entry form is not open just yet but all they'll ask for is a maximum of 3 photos (some can be during the build) and a few sentences.
I'm not entering this particular competition so you'll have a better chance of winning ____________________ CCM 404 DS |

Cheers for that, I've passed it on to a mate of mine that produces the most amazing sculptures from rebar. I happen to know he's hankering after a plasma cutter |

Cheers! I'll have a perusal of the requirements.
If I find myself with a bit of time on my hands and the garage isn't around freezing point I might have a try with something. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

I knew for a fact I wasn't alone. My stuff recently has used next to no new actual stock metal - all has been recycled materials. Obviously when they ask which store you bought it from I couldn't tell them the horse shoes came from a branch!
With the casting just write down the metal was new and bought from 'X' store. An offcut from something bigger. You don't need proof of purchase of metals.
This will help you massively:
It's a corporation. They operate in Canada, North America and Europe.
Corporations love to hear buzz words that they can use when bragging. You need to include some good corporate wording. With mine I promoted the need to recycle more these days and how I included new stock from one of their stores with recycled materials.
I also mentioned how 'X' store has friendly staff who were most helpful. If they couldn't supply what I needed they suggested some very good alternatives. That's the type of thing they want to hear. Don't use the exact wording!!!
Last thing: Metal Supermarkets have just opened a new store in Manchester. They will be itching to promote it and I suspect the British winner will be a user of the new store. Anyone mentioning using it for materials will likely be pushed to the top of a list. Just saying.
If you're not close to the new Manchester store you could erm.. exaggerate and mention you were in Manchester on business and spotted the store and that you had a look in and bought your metal for the project there.
Be awesome if someone we know won this year too.
I know Easy-X likes to see what I'm up to.
I made and sold 48 of these f*ckers in the lead up to Xmas. They're that because I'm sick of the sight of them! I could have sold another 50 but had to cancel the requests. All sold via one friend who has a horse and knows horse people..
All recycled horse shoes. A 3 layer lacquer system over cleaned, sanded and wire wheel polished horse shoes. With each order I can include 'memory' shoes - shoes where an owners horse died and they kept the last shoes. I can build items like that into stuff - any kind of stuff. Yes each tree was bespoke to a customers request. It's not my design this but people wanted it so I made it!
This year I will be starting these trees in June to ensure orders can be met.

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 4 years, 96 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
