Handcrafted metal hand sculpture
For the fingers, I used 10mm round bar, carefully bending and positioning each piece to create a natural, proportional look. The round bar metal fingers provided both strength and flexibility, allowing me to shape them smoothly while maintaining durability.
To enhance the structure and add more depth, I incorporated additional round bar to form the knuckles, veins, and other fine details. This step was essential in giving the custom metal sculpture a more organic and lifelike appearance, moving it away from a rigid mechanical design and into something more realistic.
Once all the main components were in place, I began the welding process.
This step ensured everything was securely attached and properly aligned.
I carefully built up the welds in key areas, adding strength and stability to the metal sculpture. The welds also allowed me to shape certain sections further by adding extra material where needed.
After welding, the structure had a rough, unfinished look. Using an angle grinder, I carefully smoothed out the welds and shaped the overall form of the hand-forged metal piece. This was a time-consuming process, requiring precision to remove just the right amount of material while preserving the details.
With the front of the hand taking shape, I turned my attention to the back. This area needed refining to create a more natural curve. I ground down excess material, softened edges, and sculpted the details to ensure the back of the steel hand sculpture matched the realistic feel of the front.
For the final step, I polished the entire piece, refining any rough spots and ensuring a smooth, professional finish. Depending on the desired look, I either left it with a raw industrial aesthetic or applied a protective coating to enhance durability and shine.
Now that the piece is complete, I am excited to offer this custom metal sculpture for sale in my shop. This handmade metal art is a one-of-a-kind creation, perfect for anyone who appreciates industrial metal sculpture, welded artwork, or unique metal decor.
