More re-purposed metal art.

Where are you getting all the horse shoes from?

Where are you getting all the horse shoes from?

Some are used, but cleaning them is a pain. Most from a place called Centaur Forge.

For what people pay me for horseshoe stuff, using new is cost effective simply because you don't have to clean them, which takes a decent amount of time.

I would love to lear how to weld. That’s some cool stuff

For art, it's easy with MIG and gas. You can cut mistakes apart and re-weld. Almost the opposite of wood.

Compared to a "real" welder though, well, let's just say the grinder makes me the welder I'm not........

My son welded this fire poker and finished the handle for a guy who let's his scout troop store their pancake breakfast stuff for free every year.

 

[goalie]

My son wanted to be able to lift logs in the fire to move them around.

His solution:



I'm interested to see what he does for a handle

 

[goalie]

It's almost ready for the lake place fire pit.

 

[goalie]

Did a pen/pencil holder for my desk since I'm "working" from home now.







My son had fun doing the welding

My little guy has made a ton of cash making fire pokers. Thank God for a heated shop in the winter.

And leftygolfermn311 just gave me an idea:

Fire poker with a golf club shaft handle.

It begs the question: grip midsized? Extra wraps????

Definitely midsize grip


Love your work!

My son's scoutmaster is "retiring" and one of the other scouts broke an axe handle at scoutcraft, so we've got some fire pokers made up as gifts.

The space part is key. I'm just glad my shop has windows.

Can't go wrong with those Hobart welders.

No, but in hindsight, if I was doing it again, I would have gotten the model that allowed you to switch from 220 to 110 power.

Deathly Hallows for a friend of my son. The kids did the welding after I cut the pieces.

Absolutely midsize for fireplace tools

A little reindeer my son and I made was the finishing decoration before I leave for California.

In the box???

More reindeer and a golf ball holder for my desk were made in the shop today.



The reindeer get clear coated to stop rust. The golf ball holder will be black to match my desk.

Love the work you're doing in here, @goalie!

My friend that is a fabricator suggested this welder to me. I don't do a ton of welding, so I've been really happy with the versatility for my terrible welding. I splurged on a nice grinder instead!
