Hans is a genius at making these contraptions. He is one talented man! I have been watching him create these things for years. Perhaps my favorite is the Ptero Bow that actually works. @gemfeller is friends with Hans. He also has a site with carving tutorials on it. An amazing jeweler as well. A large studio close to to my home in the industrial district create larger scale welded art forms. The studio may be owned and operated by Mellow Mushroom pizza company. This would be typical statue of welded steel components:  |

Cool Jim, @jamesp , I'm thinking there must be a wire armature underneath that, and then everything welded to it. Not sure if you've ever seen Farm Show (best publication around) but you see metal sculptures in there that people make out of old wrenches, horse shoes, etc, etc. A lot of creative people. I keep telling Tom we need some BIG metal sculpture in the front yard.
Problem is his welder isn't portable or gas driven, so that means after he welds something up we'd have to move it & we never have gotten a back hoe ( too bad ) & then if course you have to mow around it.
Here's one of my favorite small ones, just goes to show, all you really need is imagination. [/div] Patty

Did you guys come up with this wrench grinder Lol ? It has a dynamic flare ! I suppose the category would be welded folk art. Lots of artist attend the Atlanta local art shows that do similar welded works. And many such works are made in Mexico with excellent artistic flare. Some of the sculptures they weld out of steel parts at the studio up the road are 10 to 12 feet tall and must weigh several tons. They must use over a 100 pounds of welding rod per sculpture.    |
