October 17, 20169 yr 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.
October 17, 20169 yr Nice work. Like the Plierannosaurus Rex, he has some attitude they both look good. A little practice and you could be a better welder.

October 17, 20169 yr This stuff is SUPPOSED to be fun! Well done on both. Next thing you know you'll be making a velociraptor fender ornament for the bike. wouldn't want to do that you know, the other guys might want to give you money to make them a fender ornament. Wouldn't want that to happen, oh no! Very cool. Frosty the Lucky.

October 18, 20169 yr I wouldn't argue lol. But it's sad to see my children I've created leave. Then again some just won't.

October 18, 20169 yr 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!

October 27, 20169 yr 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!
