Part of my bucket list is to make a kinetic wind sculpture for my backyard but could not visualize how to mount it for spinning - nice sculpture and thanks for sharing!!!!
Please post a finished vid of the new piece. Copper looks pretty cool in my opinion and I'm sure I'm not alone wanting to see the finished product. Keeper up Kevin I like and learn a bunch from you. Thanks again. -Pidge
+Dennis Tatu Hi Dennis!! I do have a lot of fun with my job! We always have fun filming.. You guys never get to see the goings on in the background.... (and you never will!)
Great stuff Kevin. Just getting into kinetic sculpture. Can't believe how costly the stainless steel thrust bearings are. Thanks for the instructional videos.
Still loving the artwork that You are making Kevin and not forgetting the easily identifiable voice of mrs Caron, one day I would love to hear Mary say “Hey Philip what’d you doing ?” So I can make it into a ringtone,
( Hay Kevin what you doing ) amazing video Kevin watching your movies give me so many ideas amazing thank you for your time and thank Mrs Kevin to take care...
Thanks so much for this video. Every time my wife sees some of those windblown kinetic sculptures for sale in Santa Fe, I tell her, "I could make us one of those..." and now I can. Or at least some sort of kinetic yard thingy representing one man's struggle against something... Separating the bearings by several inches will increase the strength and reduce the movement due to bearing slop and shaft flex even more.
Very cool, Kevin. Did you use some variety of thrust bearings? If not, you might consider swapping some in. It's not something most people think about, but the perpendicular pressure on radial bearings will otherwise degrade them pretty quickly.
+FXM Always something to keep in mind.. If this was a motor driven piece or wind driven I would look for heavier bearings but it's an indoor piece so should not be a problem.. Thanks for the tip!
Kevin: do you not longer use this method? You've moved on to thrust bearings? Can you do a thrust bearing video like this one? A+++ many thanks for this one (as every one).
Hello , Kevin can you make video on different types of metal ex: dom tube ,square tube ,plate,sheet,pipes, expanded metal explain each type and when it's best to use in sculptures
Might think about a rain shield on the shaft between the art piece and the pedestal like manufacturers put on air condition outside unit condenser fan motors. I think that it would make a nice decorative top to cover the open hole in the top of the pedestal. Or maybe this is an indoor piece. I really like the art piece. Natural patina will be nice. Shiny copper would probably be too difficult to maintain. And thank you for showing works in progress. I have mechanical abilities, but missed the artistic gene.
can you make vid r Onondaga different types of metal ex: dom tube ,square tube ,plate,sheet,pipes, expanded metal explain each type and when it's best to use in sculptures
Please read the description at the beginning of the video. I used 2 flange bearings in this sculpture. You can use any make as long as they fit for what you are doing. I got these at Granger I think.
Man! The art is in getting to do what you enjoy for a living. On this piece, what/why does it need to spin? Will the shaft be motorized? Maybe I missed something in the discussion; regardless it's cool, thanks for sharing.
+GunPilot No motor for now.. Just a hand spun piece.. It needs to spin so you can see the different views easier... And I have never done one like this that spins so what the heck!!
Kevin, I like to see what you are working on. Works in progress. what will the finish on the copper be?? let it get its natural patina or ??? Thanks for the vid.
+Daniel Spencer I do have a very overactive imagination! Most of the time it just comes to me as a finished piece. Just have to deconstruc it and figure out how to make it.. Course, alcohol has a lot to do with it also!
I hope that was for a demo cause the bolts should come in from the top case the nut falls off ya don't lose the bolt, an it stays in the hole ,also lock washer an lock tite. (.I was payin attention.)
Kev, install you bolt with the heads on top that way if the nuts come loose they will fall off but the bolts will still be there hopefully not wobbling to much and protect your nice looking piece of art. Old aircraft mechanic kicking in!
I'll throw in with DFWKen... buff it up a bit then flame it to get a rainbow effect and clear coat it. here is a link to sculpture i made that is powered by the sun ua-cam.com/video/j2Fn98-WKkE/v-deo.html

Your ingenuity is astounding Kevin and I hear Mary's camera work is quite fine.

Great stuff Kevin. Just getting into kinetic sculpture. Can't believe how costly the stainless steel thrust bearings are. Thanks for the instructional videos.
Glad to help! They do get pricey really quick!
Still loving the artwork that You are making Kevin and not forgetting the easily identifiable voice of mrs Caron, one day I would love to hear Mary say “Hey Philip what’d you doing ?” So I can make it into a ringtone,
I will add that to the list for the next filming!!!
Kevin Caron, Artist I'd really like that Kevin, may you and your family have a great weekend. Phil
Thank you so much, Kevin! Enjoyed the video and look forward to watching more!
Every Wednesday morning we post.
Don't forget to check out my website also.
Thanks so much Kevin!
My pleasure!

+dahveed284 True, but it makes it harder to stick it all in the little space..

Nice piece Kevin!
I haven't watched many of your videos but have you ever used a motorized "spinner" for any sculptures?
Thanks for watching!
But no motors as yet.
Kevin, did you consider motorizing this sculpture instead of just the bearings?
Have just started looking at motors and such. Got a lot to learn before I can make the leap.
@@KevincaronSculpture Will probably add a new dimension to your already wonderful sculptures...Can't wait to see them...
Really like that sculpture. What’s the name? Thanks.
That is "MoonShine".
Kevin: do you not longer use this method? You've moved on to thrust bearings? Can you do a thrust bearing video like this one? A+++ many thanks for this one (as every one).
Still use these as well. I did one video on thrust bearings so far. Search for thrust bearings on my site.
Look here, www.kevincaron.com/video_detail.php?id=460
you do beautiful work honestly enjoy your channel. thank you and your lady.
Hello , Kevin can you make video on different types of metal ex: dom tube ,square tube ,plate,sheet,pipes, expanded metal explain each type and when it's best to use in sculptures
+Stickwelding 247 Will give it some thought..... Thanks for the request..
maybe do a video on different finishes, like is your rust patina "real" or applied? etc.
+CCs Welding Will give it some thought....

Спасибо и лайк удачи и здоровья
can you make vid r Onondaga different types of metal ex: dom tube ,square tube ,plate,sheet,pipes, expanded metal explain each type and when it's best to use in sculptures
Excellent info guys! Thanks!
Which bearing you used for this sculpture ???
Please read the description at the beginning of the video. I used 2 flange bearings in this sculpture. You can use any make as long as they fit for what you are doing. I got these at Granger I think.

+FISHBREATHH I was planning on shinning it and clear coated over the top..
Good tip, Kevin!
Where do you get your art from does it just came to you or do you look for it when you are out and about ?
+Daniel Spencer I do have a very overactive imagination! Most of the time it just comes to me as a finished piece. Just have to deconstruc it and figure out how to make it.. Course, alcohol has a lot to do with it also!
I hope that was for a demo cause the bolts should come in from the top case the nut falls off ya don't lose the bolt, an it stays in the hole ,also lock washer an lock tite. (.I was payin attention.)
+Charles Dyer Great eyes!! Just this was just to put it together and figure out what I need to do..
Kev, install you bolt with the heads on top that way if the nuts come loose they will fall off but the bolts will still be there hopefully not wobbling to much and protect your nice looking piece of art. Old aircraft mechanic kicking in!
+Ronald Hays Thank you,,, When it is finished it will be bolts from the top with nylock nuts to make sure nothing will come loose...
Hello! your channel excellente
why not just 'beefup' the strut supporting the bearing?
+Graham Blackmore Not sure what you are referring to.
Trying to get your bearings? Hey, do you need a compass and map? Is that a homonym spelled the same or different. We love puns in this household.
It's called self aligning not "slop".
I'll throw in with DFWKen... buff it up a bit then flame it to get a rainbow effect and clear coat it. here is a link to sculpture i made that is powered by the sun
