My moms into garden art and stuff, so I had some spare time and some spare sheet metal, so I got to cutting, grinding, and bending and came up with this, lol....

 

wow very nice... bet that one will last forever!

 

it better, I cut (well... grinded) a nice gash out of my finger doing it, lol.

 

That looks pretty slick man! She will be pretty dang happy! I welded up a horseshoe with a pair of hearts in it for my ex-girlfriend a LOOOONG time ago, it was pretty cool.. lol.

 

That looks cool, way better than those flimsy natural ones every other mom will get. nice work

 

Make it last...have it gavonized.

 

That's really cool! Did you say you made a dozen for her?

 

son? my rose is rusting! would you come over and spread some asian beetle rust proofer on it? then maybe you could spread the WD 10-10-40 fertilizer around.....build a flower box, trellis, plant some more! etc..



heheh nice and creative equipment operator you are! you can play with tin and i will go play with the excavator...howz dat?! j/k...

Pretty cool, even with a "patina" it would look good out in the garden. A lot of people pick up welded yard ornaments at craft shows these days.

 

Just make it out of stainless and "forgett about it".

 

Hey that is pretty good. Made with love!

 

Well for a guy that makes his living ( I presume) with an excavator, that is a very nice job of fabrication. In my years as a welder/ fabricator I never had it in me to do art, some guys I new did. I always envied there abilities.

 

I play in the dirt to make money ^, lol. But I really like welding so I thought for once i'd make somthing instead of just buying a card and flowers. It's my first time doing something like that, usually i'm just welding stuff for my excavator and things. I wouldn't mind being a welder, but if u don't have ur own shop, I wouldn't want to be a production welder doing the same things everyday unless the pay was great.

 

Very cool man! She's gonna love it.

 

Looks good!!!

I did something similar for my now ex GF for valentines day. She likes dogs so I got a piece of akuminum diamond plate and TIG welded the outline of a dog on it. I hate being so typical like other guys and just buying flowers, something you actually made is much cooler!
