macbruce Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Maybe he'll show up here wanting advise.........I can think of one, don't weld high carbon steel with common mig wire. SS with 75/25 works much better......Probly on a tight budget...lol http://www.nme.com/news/bob-dylan/72846#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JNewman Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 The cultivator? tines on the top of his gate look exactly like the ones they were making in the plant I was in earlier this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaughnT Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 I laughed. Anyone note that he welded over the already-painted metal? Probably had to make sparks for the photo shoot and this is the one they decided to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimsShip Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well that's pretty cool! I need to learn how to weld.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I find it interesting when someone like him has a hobby that is so different than their profession/public persona. Edited October 13, 2015 by BIGGUNDOCTOR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpankySmith Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 Right up my alley, I love that kind of stuff! ('Course that might have something to do with my slight infatuation with my welder!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenylittlemetalguy Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 not to be a curmudgeon but I like his music much more than his gates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel OF Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 If he ditched the MIG and started forge welding it'd be like he's gone from electric to acoustic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazz Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 The first link in this thread is dead so I can't be sure but is this work by the Bob Dylan? I'm impressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old South Creations Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 it is indeed THE Bob Dylan. I don't know if this is the same article but here is a story from 2013http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2499933/Bob-Dylans-homemade-iron-gates-display-Londons-Halcyon-Gallery.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 And he's at it again. Is it any good? The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.... http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/bob-dylan-to-unveil-enormous-iron-archway-in-maryland-w438057 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judson Yaggy Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Meh. Pretty unexciting work. We have members on here who do found art sculptures that are way more interesting. ANYONE can mig weld stuff into a 2d frame. It's when you learn the skills to forge radical 3 dimensional cross sectional changes into a piece AND use those same forging processes to assemble the thing that it really sings to me. Look at the work of Dimitri Gerikeras, Alan Evers, Jake James, Roberto Giordani, Alfred Habberman, Jeffery Funk, Brett Moen, Albert Paley. They all really understand the ascetic of forged sculpture and use it to produce work that is far more interesting than mig welding some gears and wrenches together. Fairly sure I misspelled some names above, my apologies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JHCC Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 And if his MIG welds aren't any good, he looks at it and thinks, "Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
