Welded Metal Motorcycle Art for a good cause

jdustu · Aug 24, 2009

I came up with this idea to help a couple of non-profits that I support, and at the same time spread the word about what I do. Check it out if you get a chance, and feel free to pass it on

I'm going to build one bike sculpture every week for a year to auction off, and I'm using a blog to keep track of it. I'll also be posting updates on various projects that come up, like the boat sculpture I did this weekend.

Thanks a bunch!

Nothing like creating for a 'Good Cause'... Cool Bikes.

The year is almost up! Many pics of all the bikes for this project can be seen here:

So far just over half of the pieces have sold, and we've raised over 2k for 2 local charities

Great work on both the bike and the boat. Hopefully, with all the practicing I've been doing, I can start to turn out pieces as nice as yours. (My first couple of motorcycles weren't really all that great .....)

May I ask what process you're using? MIG, TIG, arc, oxy/acy, ???

I tig everything on the bikes. It's precise and clean. It can be a pain in the butt when you wish you had a third hand

Good imagination! Good cause!

My uncle would really like the boat. (I prefer the bike though:laugh

His boat looks just like that, just throw some tuna towers on it.
