Over the summer of 2006, I had my dad teach me how to arch weld. I had been wanting to learn for a while, it was just something that I had never gotten around to. Once I got the hang of just creating a bead dad gave me free liberty to use whatever ‘junk’ metal I wanted (basically anything he had except the brand new stuff 🙂 in the shop) for, he put it, ‘tacking stuff together.’ Now, at 30 plus, my mom is still displaying my artwork.
Below are some of the items that I have worked on in my spare time.
