Dad's rooster

admin

Just for fun, here's dad's rooster dating back to 1973.  Dad was a welder over in the Air Force.  He did with a torch what most of you fellas use tig for.  When he got home, he was finishing his degree at Purdue, welding up some art pieces by day, and a policeman by night.  The first rooster actually went into a garbage truck because it was positioned too close to the road.  He had to scramble to put this second one together for art class.  I included before and after pictures.  I decided the ol rooster needed a better head dress and a wing.  He'll stay in clear coat for a few months before he goes to JD green,  yella, and rust again.

Reply:Leo is on the right track!  Most of the rooster's pieces are from farm impliments.  Grampa Charlie's farm had alot to choose from at that time! Attached Images-MikeThurston WeldingHuntington, IN
