CTBlades Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 So over the weekend I was rather bored waiting for the final delivery of materials for my new gas forge. I have a pile of junk and a welder, (I am no welder lol) and decided to try my hand at sculptured metal art. I give you "Plierannosaurus Rex" and a simple "Love" for my lovely bride.

Daswulf Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Nice work. Like the Plierannosaurus Rex, he has some attitude they both look good. A little practice and you could be a better welder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 One of the nicest compliments I ever has was when I was demonstrating at the Festival of the Cranes Arts and Crafts fair and 90% of my sales were on the set up and take down days. The other artists and craftsfolk thought I was doing good work at a decent price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ausfire Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Good effort, CT. Yes, this stuff is supposed to be fun! Multigrips and Stillson wrenches work very well for 'sauruses - you don't have to forge the teeth! I like the bolt eye and the chain crest. Try a couple of horse shoes for the back legs, or bend the bolts in a U shape. These things are a good cure for boredom. It's a good test of creativity and you never make two the same. Carry on!
