This is the finished bronze octopus, modeled off the blue ring
octopus, my friend (Isaac Krauss) and I worked on. He came up with the concept and sculpted the body of the octopus and I came in to help with the wax work and welding. The glass tabletop sits level on top of the legs. Welding the legs to hold the glass tabletop was a very rewarding and challenging process. I've certainly improved my TIG welding skills a lot because of my work on this octopus. An interesting thing about this sculpture is that the eyes are hand blown glass. In all the table weighs about 500 lbs which means we have put about $5,000 into building it. We estimate that we put around 1500 man hours into this project. If you are curious the table is still for sale.


If you have an questions about buying the octopus table or requests for photo use please contact Isaac Here:

Great job on this, the detailing is pretty fantastic, and I adore the man hours put into it, as well as the effort that was contributed.

I apologize if it may have been stated in the other comments, but how much would a table like this cost to any average Joe?
