sea turtle shelf

[tinspark]

I built a cat coat/backpack hanger for one of my daughters. The younger one got a little bu@# hurt and asked if I would build her a sea turtle shelf. I should have known better (bad daddy!) lol
Here was my peace offering, which got me out of a jam
I think I'm off of the hook for a bit now

I decided to stitch weld the gussets instead of turning flanges and spot welding together.
No spot weld tong marks (dimples) to grind off
I used hammered bronze on the gussets and shelf, and automotive anodized green on the top turtle.
Daughters and wife loved it
They happy, and I am happy!!

How does it go together

How does it go together

I know that this is super late. It probably fell off of the first page which I rarely scroll past.
But the end caps were broke back 1/2" and then welded on the face was bent down 1-1/2" with a 1/2" flange bent back underneath as well
broke on a 2' pexto finger brake
Again sorry for the super late response, I just saw this for the first time .
