Some local metal art

admin

The figures in these first two pictures aren't too pretty but they have been durable. They have stood in the pasture guarding the road for over thirty-five years. I was out taking pictures of one of the wildfires that destroyed five homes and drove down the road where these are.These two were done by a local welder after he retired. They required quite a bit more skill than the first two.
Reply:I really like the Derrick, tank battery and pumpjack. The creator obviously spent some time on those...really neat. I might have to try something along those lines for fun one of these days if I ever get the time. Thanks for posting.-1948 Short Hood SA-200-Millermatic 251-Hypertherm PM45-Victor Torches/Regs
