some of my metal art

I am about to finish my A.A.S. Welding Skills Technology up at TSTC waco so i dont have any on the job pictures or anything like that, but i do enjoy a little metal art here and there, here are a couple of my creations.


Here is a Pot o' Flower i made, the pot and stems are bend straps from school, and the flowers are the guts of an old Honda XR70 tranny


A Rose



Heres a Skeleton, also made from a good many bendstraps from school, 3/8 plate and 1 1/4" plate.

Very nice. My wife liked the flowers.
Do you go to art shows and sell your stuff?

I am guessing that skellington weighs in at around 85 pounds.

Re: some of my metal art

Thats cool stuff.

Reminded me of Angler, I made as my first own project from back in the 80's. Had to go dig him out and take a pic to share. Sorry, still got a crap camera. I have my fingers crossed for a new one within a week or two.

Ribbs from the test coupons... Nice find!

Then the marble 'appliance'. Very minimalistic, it looks like there's no material without a function! Excellent.
