    Metal Art

    I have never been what you call artistic, even my stick figures looked like some sort of messed up Chinese writing.

    A buddy of mine was making some steel insects and flowers for his garden and I thought what the hell, I'll try some fish.

    Anyway here they are, tell me what you think.

    Have a good day,PEZ

    P.S. Just did it to do it, not trying to sell or make a living at it, was just tinkering around and was surprised they actually looked like fish, well atleast to me.LOL

    Pretty work Pez. I have seen similar art done in copper and it looks really good. Particularly after it starts to turn in the weather ouside.

    that sword looks great. i went down to marathon last year and met a guy that makes a lot of those out of aluminum. you say your not trying to sell them but i would think about it. my brother welds and thought about making them but he's selling so many ladder racks he doesn't have enough time.

    Pez, if you want, I'll be happy to take a few around to the tournaments and put them in my display with the artwork. No charge. Hell maybe it will draw the people to my booth!

    Torch, grinder, mig and tig welder and a ball peen hammer. All out of scrap metal. If I had access to a plasma cutter it would have gone smoother I'm sure, at least with the aluminum(that Swordie is almost 10' long.LOL) but I think the torch on the steel looks kinda cool.
