I created a piece called "The Twister" for my thesis project at MICA. It was featured in the 2015 MICA Commencement Exhibition.
I built this machine from the ground up using both new and recycled / re-purposed parts. This machine allows me to twist metal by simply applying manual pressure via the hand-crafted spinning wheel. I've also added the option of fire, which heats the metal for ease of use, but the machine can still operate without it.
I've tested it to twist up to 1/2 inch square stock cold and up to 1 inch hot. My twisted metal pieces can be used for a variety of projects including decorative art installations, gates, door handles, and much more.
