A method of forming a body by deposition of a weld material comprises providing a welding head (12), providing a foundation (52) upon which the body is to be formed. A weld material is supplied from a supply (22). The welding head (12) and the foundation (52) are connected to a supply of electricity to form an arc between the welding head (12) and the foundation (52) to melt the material. A raised member (74) is provided on the foundation (52). The method further includes manipulating the foundation (52) and the welding head (12) relative to each other to deposit the material on the raised member (74) and form the body.
