spawn of bearded guy

Yes I am the girl holding the elephant/heffalump i always called them heffalumps because of winnie the pooh. I have done some forging but not much yet all I did was make a wall hook with my dads help. Thanks for the welcoming, kind words and encouragement Thanks Frosty, Lou, Daswulf, Ausfire, and ThomasPowers I have seen a bunch of y'alls work and it is great to get your advice and kind words.

Recently my dad (Bearded guy) introduced me to some of the awesome work on this website and it inspired me to try some of the ideas on my own. I did 99% of the work, welding and ideas my dad helped very little. My dad let me raid his junk pile for some ideas on some critters. He said y'all loved photos so here are some critters. also any advice would be greatly appreciated. The first thing I made was a weeney dog made from a ratchet, sockets, and bolts. Next I made an iguana out of channel locks and a dirt bike sprocket After that I saw an old chain link and I really wanted to make a horse out of a chain link, channel locks and some bolts Soon after we went to the nearby flee market and I scored a ton of rusted goodies and I thought to my self that one of those $1 pair of pliers would make a good alligator with some chain and bolts. My brother found some stuff in the junk pile and made a tank out of some bolts, chain, sprocket, and a slab of metal. Me and my brother wanted our dad to make a coat rack out of a huge wrench we found in the shed and some bolts. Last but not least I found a big spring and axle part and instantly thought of a heffalump I used wrenches for the ears, sockets for the trunk, and bolts for the legs. I really appreciate all the inspiration and ideas from this wonder and talented group of people.
