Simple metal art dogs. Just for fun

[Winky]

Very cool ... I have plans on making some dogs with big nuts (fasteners that is lol) I just posted a video showing how I make spiders ... enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alqsL9KbHhk

Very neat! I'd love to get into metal art but I've got very little imagination for things like that. I do well with practical design but not little flights of fancy. I'm hoping my wife can help me out in coming up with ideas.

Just go out into the shop start rummaging through scraps and see what fits together ... it's a skill you will develop as you do it.

I intend to start doing that very soon. Have to get a welding station set up first.

I found a piece of 1/8" plate and put it on top of an old workmate table then attached a vise with another plate w/ a 90 degree angle that I set in the vise for smaller work pieces then I put painted skirting around to protect the wood ... works awesome.

I've got some old bedframes and a bakers rack shelf I'm going to use for a bench. I just need some time to cut the metal and assemble it.
