No it will not. I think we might get some brass and lathe up something up. Or potentially some acorn nuts.
I just used that hardware to mock up the spacing.

My business partner made some headway with assembly and material finishes. This project’s working towards completion.

It’s also a lot heavier than it looks .I cut out and filled up the base with plates to use as ballast.

My business partner does the welds. I can weld but not as good as him.

I think if its going to be outdoors I would add a lattice style support to the back of the main upright to keep it from flexing.

Thank you.
This one has a place in a house.
I originally wanted to do a lattice up the back as well but I was overruled.

You should have sent me a note. I could supplied you one of my wife’s suitcases for that purpose. Her carryon is heavier than the weight limit for the big suitcases. I nearly dropped it on this last trip trying to put it in the overhead compartment.
As for the sculpture: Superb!!! That welding was done by a savant.
