This is the most complex one I’ve done so far, and I almost ran out of material (single straightened coathanger), so ~8 letters max. Coathanger is surprisingly difficult to bend into such intricate shapes. It took me around 2½ hours to do with two different types of pliers plus hand bending.
I literally freehanded this though, no predrawn pattern or anything, just following as close as I can to my own freehand cursive writing. I’m thinking about making a bit of a side job out of it, like $5 a letter…
What you folks think?
Edit: I made a point to weight balance it at the tip of the T for hanging on the wall or wherever.
Edit 2: Criticize me as necessary, my cursive is still slightly rusty…
The balance was sort of a last minute idea, totally cold metal work.
Once I was basically done with the overall curve shape, I figured the tip of the T would be the best balance point, but the left side hang a little lower.
So, I ever so slightly compressed the left side and stretched the right side, until it balanced out. Just a little fudging on the kerning, until it balanced where I wanted…
