First attempt at art/sculpture

admin

This is my first attempt at makin anything of this nature, I pretty much just wung it and dug through the scrap bin under my bench for all of the parts. I kinda like this art/sculpture stuff, no plans just weldin a bunch of stuff together. Nuff yappin here's the pics, you guys that do this kinda thing on the regular give me some pointers. Sorry for the fuzzy pics didn't realize they were that outta wack til I uploaded them on the computer.  Last edited by Anthony83; 08-04-2014 at 09:42 PM.Reason: apologize for bad pics93 Bobcat 225GMillerMatic 135HF Tig 91811

Reply:Cool. Where's the strings? Are the legs tacked solid? Is the body a spring?Do you play the banjo or something else?Sent from my LGMS323 using Tapatalk
Reply:Pictures are much better. It's nice to recycle parts for art work. The issue is thinking them up and having the RIGHT parts . Is the chain welded or is he a all position player ?    Where you gonna set it ? Got a big rock outside or do you plan on selling it ?

Reply:No I don't play the banjo wish I could, his legs are tacked in place solid so he can only sit, his body is made from an old coil spring legs are some links of a big hunky piece of chain and head is an old pot the mrs. said to throw away but it ended up in the shop some how . As far as selling I have no idea what to price stuff like this for. All of the material came outta the SCRAP BIN not the drop bin so I'm not loosing any metal. I live within a couple miles from a very popular lake that a lot of people flourish to during the summer like moths to a bug zapper. Too bad nobody gets old and retires and moves north they gotta move south, need to take advantage of the fact and make up some stuff and find a place to set up and sell. Problem is having somewhere to store the made stuff until I have enough to take and sell.93 Bobcat 225GMillerMatic 135HF Tig 91811
