Located in the small town of Sequim, Washington, Hammar sources materials from all over the Pacific Northwest as part of his quest to encourage people to buy handmade American pieces. His “buy local” pieces range from tables to ladders, to sheerly ornamental chandeliers, made from industrial scraps. Hammar acquires scrap metal pieces from farms, boat marinas, and other industrial companies, which often donate the pieces to him. Using his expert eye, he then transforms old metal pipes, doorknobs, bike chains, and scraps into gorgeous sculptural pieces.
Metal worked gates, benches, and pavilions can be found in both private yards and public parks in the Sequim area. His indoor sculptural pieces are more detailed, sometimes giving hints of their past lives. Aside from a commitment to recycled materials, Hammar is also altruistic. . + Ray Hammar’s Blue Collar Artwork. Code, Metal and Cleverness: How to Bend Tubing and Pipe by Hand. How to Bend Tubing and Pipe by Hand Most people seem to think that you need expensive machinery or heat to bend metal.
It isn't generally true. Basic bending can be done with nothing more than ordinary shop tools, a bit of elbow grease, and some ingenuity. Somewhere around 1978, I took a theater materials class and learned how to weld. As part of a sample prop I'd decided to build, I needed to make some 3" rings out of 3/8" steel rod. When I first started working in professional theater shops, the only way I saw metal tubing bent into shapes was by cutting partway through the tubing at intervals, bending it, and then welding the kerfs closed. Paying a vendor to do roll bending is one alternative, but it slows down the creative process, and it's not useful for artsy shapes or ellipses. After years of frustration with this, I finally saw someone bend tubing with a homemade jig.
