I have been having some fun playing around with Twitters new creation Vine. For those of you who are not familiar with Vine it is a video sharing site that is limited to 6 second videos that loop. The Vine app on iPhone helps you start and stop in order to get the most out of your 6 seconds. I have made a few Vines as I cast the legs for a group of benches that I am in the process of making.

This is Bench #5 From Series #2

Here is a link to this Modern Outdoor Bench in my portfolio

Here is the fist Vine of the casting form being assembled. THis one is a bit jumpy. Sorry!

Next up is a Vine of the form being filled.

Last one is the cured leg being removed from the forms.

All in all I have to say that I have enjoyed making these short videos. If you want to see more feel free to follow me on Vine.
