Camel 3D Weathervane
Good Directions recently had the
pleasure to manufacture a bespoke copper 3D weathervane as a
retirement gift to one of our
customers living overseas.

One half cut out, next to paper for size. |
into a new and exciting product.
We cut two camels out of copper sheet on our waterjet cutter,
which were shaped and dressed
with care and precision using a hammer and sandbags to
individually form each half.
These halves were then formed and structured around the support
tubes on the inside of the camel
to allow the weathervane to stand and rotate freely. Afterwards,
they were soldered together to
complete the 3D camel. The finishing touch of this weathervane
came in the form of treating the
copper to create a burnished patina, to give a beautiful weathered
bronze effect allowing it to
proudly stand out against the sky on the customers roof.
