Some of my metal work
« on: March 05, 2012, 11:16:34 PM »
I've been a welder for a  looong time. At least 20 years. I grew up living with parents that didn't have the normal jobs. they were both artists. Traveled all over to art shows. This kind of got to me when I started welding. Here are a few things I've done.


This was the first thing I actually did. It was the hardest too but only took me about 4 days to do. ]





This gate only took me a little over 4 hours.



This is a fence I built for my sister at her house.




Hope you enjoyed these pics.

Hi and welcome to MadModder. I really like your handy work with the fence and gates. If you have any more that you want to share with us I know that I would like to see them. We look forward to your participation in the various forums.  :D :)

Cheers  :beer:

Hi there icthus (I'm sure there's a story behind that name)

I think those are really good, I love the sunset over the palm trees one, very nice.

Thanks for the welcomes. I wish there was a bigger market for things like this. I'm planning on doing more of it as soon as I get new welding equipment. Some Nautical inspired stuff since I'm here on the space coast of Fl.
