felt like welding something today
« on: September 11, 2010, 09:53:42 PM »
Nothing in particular really. Just something. I saw something like this on the net and thought I'd try  one.

Supplies...



All ready to weld.



Done!!!



Here is a close up. there is a piece of welding rod welded to her butt to look like a web.



I might make some more of these later. My wife liked it :wave: I might hang another one in the shop.

Later, Wes :wave:

A Gismo ??? If it has a flywheel or spins and is made with small parts. I'll take one! If it makes noise, moves, or requires frequent oiling and dusting it's a better deal yet. It's especially right if its shiny and bright; but if it's dirty and dull it wont mater at all...

Nicely done Wes!  :clap:

I don't understand how some people can see something decorative/ useful, peeping out of a pile of parts.  :thumbup:

I can't!  :scratch:   ::)

Pretty neat, Wes.  A clever way to turn some old stuff into a fun thing.
Yours came out great!

WOW!!- Superb  :clap:

I have a mate at work that's very creative and whilst his bars were coming up to temp for bending, he would have 30mins or so and would make lorries, motorbikes etc out of whatever was in the scrap bin, he got so good and made so much stuff that he ended up selling loads to one of those shops that sold 'artistic stuff'..

He's a really talented kid, he had a load of concreting to do so he made a cement mixer of a 45gallon drum cut down, a car wheel rim and a 3hp villiers engine that came out of my shed :thumbup:


Love the spider :headbang:

This one is also interesting. Itīs a monument here in Portugal at a town called Odemira.

 hi,
That is bloody awesome. :clap:
I am of course,  insanely jealous of an artist that can see into a pile of "junk" and produce something of that quality.

You are an inspiration, sir
