Reply:One, here it is lightened up some.  Hope you don't mind.  I'm saving this for future ideas.  You've got more vision for "junque" than I do.  I need the help of others inspiration  Attached Images
Reply:I agree Jim314. Onerod has given me some ideas which I also hope he doesn't mind if I keep.A friend of mine here has a brother in Texas who makes weather vanes out of "junque". You know the kind, like the man chopping wood, the duck with wings "flapping" (actually rotating). I too need some inspiration. And I thank anyone who is willing to share with me. If I come up with anything interesting I too will be glad to share. This board has been great fun and interesting education. I started welding (O/A) back when I was in 7th grade. By the time I was a junior I was helping the shop class instructor teach welding. It kind of came naturally to me. The last four or five years I have not done too much (and I miss it) because of my present job. But, I will be retiring in a couple years and plan to go back to welding and fabricating even if on a smaller scale. Thanks to all.Tony
