You're a good welder. I wish I could do that but my welds look like bird shiite.
Where's the deer head?

Nice ! … think I'd put a big Wilton vise on that !
Looks good Tig. You could sell that stuff on Etsy. A friend of mine makes all sorts of industrial looking stuff and make a great part time income at it.
Quite cool!

With the SBC on top it will be a sculpture not a table eh? Will you let everything patina or are you going to seal it all?

The customer will have the frame grit blasted and painted glossy black. The engine is already painted glossy Chevy orange with chrome attachments, like valve covers, timing chain covers, etc.

Thanks. There's actually a welding shop in St. Louis that has that saying on the side of their building.

Wheres the Mobil 1 flag banner? Gotta throw up some M1 stuff. Want me to mail you the M1 clock we won?
Will the crankshaft of the SBC be removed so the engine sits "squarely" on the table top or are you going to cut a hole in the table top so the crank will extend below or will the engine be raised to accommodate the crank?
It sure looks metal and butch and all but MAN, it's going to be one heavy, unusable ornament...perhaps hazardously top-heavy.
Should I don my flame suit?

Keep in mind that if you build yourself a "man cave" the wife may want you to build her a "Cheryl's she shed". (Its in one of the insurance commercials).

No, the oil pan is off and the crank and rods are removed. This will allow the engine to be set squarely on the top, straddling the welded pieces on top.
