Making Circles

One of the key elements in the Illumacanth design is the spinning fire effect at the top. This picture shows the first of two perfect circles that are necessary accomplish the structure for it to be possible. Getting the circle perfect took several ratchet straps and a lot of tension. Eventually, I got the ring welded together and the circle evened out and it ended up flat and perfect. One circle took five hours to complete. The next one is on it’s way. Eventually, they will be connected by a zig zag truss system to make it a solid and structural.
