I'll get the ball rolling with what their logo actually is. The background is based on a topological map with the lettering over the top in a diamond shape. As for posting their logo on my website. Lawyers, please use the contact form here.

To begin, I wanted to look for an appropriate base to mount this on. What better than a gear. It was nice and chunky. It was weight enough to hold up the logo mounted above. Reaching up to the logo itself I twisted a spanner by heating it in my forge and putting it in the vice and a good old twist and a bash to make it curved.

To the base I hand stamped some aluminium which reads "ALL THE GEAR, NO IDEA, EST 2024". Weirdly enough in April 2024 which is when I began my welding journey. 

(looking at the back) To begin the actual logo, I shaped 2 V shaped pieces of rebar. I then welded them together to make the diamond shape. This gave me the outline I needed to begin the topological map aspect of the design. For this I used the big draw of mild steel nails I have got. I carefully shaped these and laid them out to try and match the logo as much as possible before I fired up the welder and got the sparks flying and into permanent position. 

The hand over - After some dodgy signal and many text messages struggling to get through to each other due to the location of Shedfest. I finally found my way to the backstage doors. There an amazing marshal went to go and find Ethan for me who kindly came out to speak with me. We had a brief chat about the project he wanted to make and I threw some ideas forward for this. He gave me a big bag of tools for the project he was wanting to do. I gave him the mini "All the Gear" Emblem which he seemed very pleased with. I noticed a queue forming behind me of fans and kids waiting to meet him so said my goodbyes and went on to enjoy Shedfest in its entirety. 

I will place a link here to his main project once I have done it justice with its own page!
