NO BENDING PRESS REQUIRED
Most of our bends are made by hand. You bend the pieces at home using simple tools.
This applies exclusively to sculptures designed and developed by 4A Métal — it does not apply to other products or sculptures resold on this site.
New 4A Métal model — designed in our workshop
65 cm Roaring Lion Table Sculpture — Steel Bending Kit
65 cm long · 42 cm high · 22 cm wide · 139 numbered pieces · assisted bending
Metal kit — 139 nitrogen laser-cut pieces, numbered, available in steel or Corten steel
✓ Designed and cut in France, in our workshop
- 139 nitrogen laser-cut pieces: clean, sharp edges
- Each piece is numbered
- Integrated assisted bending lines (dashed) — no bending press required
- Bending, assembly, and construction guides provided upon purchase
- Manual bending — to be done at home
Cut pieces shipped flat — you bend, assemble, and weld at home.
The 4A Métal assisted bending system
Each bend line is cut discontinuously with a laser ("dashed line"): thin slits separated by small steel bridges. These bridges hold the piece in place and act as a hinge. You bring the bend to the desired angle by hand, using locking pliers, and you control the final angle.
This system is based on real-world testing in our workshop and has evolved through several prototypes to reduce complex bends and make assembly easier.
Designed, tested, and cut in our workshop. It's up to you to give it shape.
The lion from every angle
360° view of the finished sculpture.
A roaring lion on your table
Open mouth, faceted mane, body leaning forward: this roaring lion is designed to sit on a table, sideboard, or shelf. At 65 cm long and 42 cm high, it has a real presence without taking up too much space. Each facet catches the light differently, and the sculpture changes appearance depending on the time of day and the viewing angle.
Clean, sharp nitrogen laser cutting
All pieces are cut on our nitrogen fiber laser: the edges are clean and sharp, free from oxidation, and ready to bend and weld. Each piece is numbered so you can find its place without hesitation among the 139 elements of the lion.
Guides provided upon purchase
You receive more than just cut metal: every step is documented, from the first bend to the final weld.
Guide 1
Bending Guide
Piece by piece: the direction of each bend (toward you or away), its angle, and the suggested bending order.
Guide 2
Assembly and Construction Guide
Numbered views from every angle: each piece finds its exact position in the sculpture, so you can point and weld correctly the first time.
The guides are provided with the kit upon purchase. The cutting file (DXF) is available separately, see below.

- Position the pieces according to the assembly guide
- Tack and then weld each joint
- Finish the surface to your desired look (raw, painted, varnished...)
Equipment and skill level
- Pliers, mallet, and locking pliers — no bending press required
- MIG/MAG welding machine (or TIG for finishing)
- Skill level: hobbyist experienced in working with sheet metal and welding
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the lion once assembled?
65 cm long, 42 cm high, and 22 cm wide. It is a table sculpture.
How many pieces are in the kit?
139 pieces, all nitrogen laser-cut and numbered.
Is a bending press required?
No. The assisted bending lines (dashed lines) are laser-cut so they can be bent by hand using simple tools (pliers, mallet, locking pliers).
Do you need to know how to weld?
Yes. The pieces are tacked and then welded (MIG/MAG or TIG). This is a kit for hobbyists who are already comfortable with sheet metal and welding, not a beginner kit.
Are the pieces already bent upon delivery?
No, they are shipped flat with the assisted bending lines integrated. The bending is done at home.
When do I receive the guides?
Upon purchase: the bending guide and the assembly and construction guide are provided with the kit.
Is the DXF file included with the kit?
No, the kit contains the already cut pieces. The DXF file alone is sold separately for those who have their own laser cutter.
Can I resell the lion once assembled?
Yes, you can assemble, display, and resell the finished object. However, the provided guides remain for personal use only (see our license below).
A simple license
You can assemble, display, and resell the lion once assembled using the pieces from this kit. The guides (bending, assembly, and construction) provided with the kit remain reserved for your personal use: you cannot resell, share, or redistribute them. To make and sell multiple lions, see the DXF file version below.
Do you already have your own laser or cutter? The lion is also available as a DXF plan only, without the cut pieces.
