Amethyst stand, DIY, 5 minutes, done

Welding a simple attractive stand for your large specimens have never been easier. See how I do it in this video. The end result changed an amethyst cluster to an interior decorators item fit for an upmarket home. I take you through the process step by step, I start by welding an upright square bar of 1 cm thick unto a round dome base. The base is usually used as the tops of a round upright poles that you will get at your steel merchant. I then bend a 6 mm rebar and cut it at the right length. I then weld the rebar on the upright square bar about halfway up the metal bar. I then cool down the welded stand and chip off the flux and then paint the stand in a bronze paint. All in all it takes me about 30 minutes. And I have just increased the value of the specimen by double its original value Visit us at The Rockshop at Hartbeespoort. You will not be disappointed.
