I'm looking for a skilled sculptor to create and physically fabricate a custom stainless steel sculpture that will serve as a pool handrail. I envision the final piece having a bronze and black finish that would be UV protected to ensure longevity. The sculpture should be both functional and aesthetically appealing.
Key requirements:
- Utilize stainless steel as the primary material
- Incorporate an AI-generated design
- Ensure the sculpture is functional as a handrail while also being visually striking
- Ability to physically fabricate the sculpture based on provided design and build notes
Material Layer Outline:
Component Recommended Material Purpose / Reason
Structural frame (inner tubing): 316 marine‑grade stainless steel - Provides strength and corrosion resistance against chlorinated water and humidity. Serves as the internal skeleton for stability.
Outer tubing (visible bronze finish): Silicon bronze or powder‑coated aluminum (bronze tone) - Matches your aesthetic while resisting oxidation. Bronze gives authentic patina; aluminum offers lighter weight and easier fabrication.
Sun motif & accents: Cast bronze or bronze‑plated stainless steel - Keeps the rich bronze‑black contrast and resists tarnish.
Base plates (two parallel bases): 316 stainless steel with bronze powder coat - Strong anchor points for mounting; coating ensures visual consistency and prevents rust.
Fasteners & anchors: Stainless steel bolts (A4 grade) - Prevents galvanic corrosion and ensures secure installation.
Protective finish: Two‑layer system: epoxy primer + polyurethane clear coat - Seals the bronze tone and protects against UV, chlorine, and moisture. Reapply every 3–5 years.
Assembly Notes:
- Weld or mechanically fasten the bronze tubing over the stainless frame.
- Seal all joints with marine‑grade silicone.
- Use non‑slip texture or matte clear coat on hand‑contact areas.
- Anchor bases into concrete with stainless expansion bolts and waterproof washers.
Shipping Requirements:
- The sculpture must be packaged securely to prevent damage during transit.
- Delivery or shipping destination is Pearland, Texas.
Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Experience in metalworking, specifically with stainless steel
- Strong artistic ability and experience with custom sculptures
- Familiarity with AI design integration
- Proven capability to fabricate sculptures from start to finish, including material handling, assembly, and finishing processes
Please provide examples of previous work and relevant experience.
