My ideal design process was clean and simple, but in real life it got a little messier. The metal I originally wanted to use was far too thick, it would have been much more obvious than I would have liked. Then, the 26 gauge steel that I used was just thick enough to weld, with much difficulty. No matter what thickness I used, it was going to cause issues. Then, the design had to be supported from the bottom, so I had to make a plate and weld it to that, which makes it very obvious that it is not just a house of cards, but I was able to effectively integrate some of my artistic goals with that plate.

I think differences in materials cause a lot of the unforeseen hold-ups during a design process. It sounds like everything worked out for the best, so your design process fit the project well!
I think that happens a lot, where you think you have a simple idea but as you get deeper in it, you realize that there was more work involved then initially thought. Metal can be tricky.
Working with metal can be really tricky I’m sure but I’m happy that you found success with you project
I like that you were able to persevere when you ran into problems with the thickness of the metal that was being used. After seeing the final project I think that you landed on the right thickness. At a quick glance the piece pulled off the illusion that you were going for.
