Hi everyone,

I have to repair a bronze statue that was stolen and cut to pieces. :shock:

Fortunately all the parts were retrieved and I will have to rebuild and chisel back the details. :D

Here is my question:

What type of machine do I need to accomplish this task.

Material is cast bronze, it means lots of impurities, average section is 1/4 inch (can be 3/8)

And the overall casting weight is about 600lb.

I have already used silicone bronze rod to tack the parts together.

I plan on buying a new TIG machine that could sustain the heat of reassembling the parts
together.

Is this something I could do with a 200 amp inverter, 220V machine?

Thanks for your interest in this matter!


Best regards
Francois
