Reply:Nice piece!  I like the use of a rectangular base personalized with the artist signature.  Was the signature done with tig?  If so, what do we call this?   Tig Writing?Some kind of Big Blue constant current welding machineAnother smaller yet, Blue machine (it's got wire in it)

Reply:You're right about the scale pattern. With this fish, I wanted to play up the lateral line, which affected the slug pattern. I'll just claim "artistic licence"!http://www.facebook.com/LockhartMetalArthttp://www.facebook.com/pages/Grumpy...44306259043484

Reply:Originally Posted by weldermikeWhen I feel artistic and someone calls me out on my work I just tell them its a organic shape, and organic shapes are not supposed to be perfect. Then when they leave I fix it and say sh!t, I was hoping no one caught that!
