gmctrk63, It is the same with old or broken equipment. Years ago, I had to cut up a couple of old soccer goals at the school where I work. Well those pieces of square tubing have ended up in projects all over the school, including in my welding bay, a work bench and a metal materials rack. You take what ever is in front of you and mentally disassemble it back into its component parts. It's just that the material is no longer is saleable lengths of new steel and may also have paint and rust to be ground back.

Hellooooo Barbie!!! 😉 Lol. I am a welder and metal fabricator who has been doing it professionally for 15 years. I specialize in aluminum. I too make metal sculptures. So far you are the only person I have found that makes them in a similar fashion to me. I TIG weld my sculptures one drop at a time out of 5356 aluminum filler wire. On some of the larger ones I start with some random pieces of pipe sheet metal and solid bar stock. But most of the smaller ones are strictly filler wire and for the most part I try not to do any grinding or sanding. I finish off the majority of my artwork with only the Heat from the TIG torch. I will have to email you some pictures of my artwork and get your opinion. I would love to focus more on my artwork and try to make enough money selling my sculptures so that I could turn it into my main source of income. I have a hard time pricing them though. I would love to get your opinion on their value. Being that you are a professional metal sculptor and all. Anyway I just wanted to let you know that I am very impressed with your talents and keep up the good work. Also it is very nice to see a female welder. And a very beautiful one at that. By the way my name is Pete and I live in Florida. I will Make it a point to try and send you some pictures of my artwork within the next day or so.

Barbie, I’m working on a life size deer. Didn’t realize the amount of welding I was going yo have to do! I have a question about the grinding disc you use. I found that my 4 1/2” flapper takes off way more than the grinding disc. So where do you get grinding discs that will hog off material fast? Thanks.

Hello Barbie the welder, maybe useful for next time to add subtitles. This can also be done automatically (this option isn't always great, but better than nothing). I’m hard of hearing and need text to understand. Also useful for international viewers (whatever I am). Nice work! I still have a lot to learn. ☺️

Keep it up Barbie. Got any link for the grinder bits and the book?

when them sparks were flying I was wondering if it was gonna burn her hair

I had an idea to make a cactus. I wanted to make to regular size, until I saw they grow 45 - 75 feet tall. haha So, 8 or 9 feet will be good. I am trying to figure out, how in the hack to weld the steel bars to a base. I taught myself to weld from watching KZread videos. haha Also, my dad was a welder. Now, I have 50 half inch thick bars that are nine feet long and 50 that are like 3/8 9 foot pieces. The hard thing, will be the arms that come off the thing. I need to think of a way to make a solid base. I read that the kind of cactus I want to make, has a 2 foot base. So, that is good. I thought, why not build a box to put the cactus in and then weld that box to a large box that can be filled with sand. But, I want people to look at it and imagine a real cactus. Though, I like specific colors. So, the colors on the thing will be like, a 70s watercolor green. I would need to find someone to paint the thing. I mean, I am no painter. I would have to weld little metal pins on for the appearance of the needles, which would make painting take even longer. haha I was also thinking. How in the heck, am I going to weld sheet metal onto the thing if it is all together? So, I thought, I will make the cactus in two pieces. Then, once the metal is on, weld the two together. That would would make putting it onto a base impossible. Unless, I welded something onto the base that would allow me to put the bar into and then bolt closed. You know? I think, 8 or 9 feet tall would be good. Knowing they are 9 feet each, if I welded two together, using, I guess tig welding, it would give me 18 feet. Then, I would have to subtract the two feet width and take some away for the curve at the top. Unless I made the curved part on its own and welded it on the top. Now, I have a Bobcat 250, AHP Alpha tig and a Miller Suitcase 12vs. The VS is the newest and I've yet to teach myself to use it. If I were to weld the bars together, I thought that tig welding would be the best way to go. Though, I have only tig welded aluminum. Wow, this is a lot fo stuff. haha But, that is why I like doing it. I never had any interest in welding, until a few years ago. I got a cheap stick welder from Amazon. haha

I think that sculpture looks pretty bad ass!!! Just curious, how did you do the open areas between the skull and the hood? ( Did you really grind out all that material or were you using some kind of sheet metal fabrication?

For the hood I took a 3" pipe approximately 6" long and cut down the length of it and opened it up and shaped it to make the hood. The back was closed in by hammering the back together. If you are on Facebook and Instagram I have more details about this sculpture and how he is made and other work I do. I post new stuff everyday! Thanks for taking the time to watch my video!
