Not "What you can do with scrap metal", rather "What someone with a lot
of artistic talent can do with scrap metal".

I like that.

But I am reminded of the cartoon in Punch, many, many years ago.
Two working class blokes (you can tell by the overalls), are in the
museum, looking at a bit of metal sculpture, with the caption.
"Sure it's Art, Bert. But can you really say it is 'welding'?"

Great point. I can make useful things out of scrap metal, but never
anything beautiful.

There is a guy in Bangkok that does something similar
http://www.yumimodal.com/

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.

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.

Looks really great and fascinating.

We have a couple of those scrap metal sculptures on I-5 between
California and Oregon. One 8' tall steer and another 12' tall dragon.
Very cool.

If Ig can find a similar artist in his area,
he can open the Ig Art Museum and sell junk, er, art.
A new division of Ig Enterprises!

My most artistic "make something useful from scrap metal" project, so
far, is this round blacksmith table.

Fun, Reminds me a bit of Griffis sculpture park.
http://www.dittwald.com/griffissculpture/photos2.htm

400 acres of woods and fields with metal sculptures sprinkled about.
A nice day hike if you are in Western NY.

Id weld it down to a sheet of something at least 1/2" thick.

It might be a great bender..but if you pull it over on yourself...its
not so cute.
