I hasten to add, that such stuff is popular in Mexico, they weld small
souvenirs for tourists from scrap metal, very artistically.

I made some stick people from TIG filler rod and nuts and bolts, also
turned out to be kind of cute.

There is a guy in Bangkok that does something similar

I met the guy many years ago when he was just a little one man band.
He told me that he had been a motorcycle mechanic and got to fooling
around with a welder and some scrap parts and people liked them. All
of the statues I saw then were made from old engine parts.

Looks really great and fascinating.
