Waste of Life,
Old vice welded on steel stand. 2017

40 years ago this vice was new, pretty and strong. Like me.
Now it is old ugly and broken .Like me.

I think perhaps it's not real. As they say

Long time ago

I think of Ted almost everyday.

Well, Ya Know

Re posting

Just bringing this post back up.

Forgot about this little story.

Hello, John Here A few days ago I found one of those art selling web sites. It's called "Fine Art America" So I was wondering does anyone know anything about this web site. The thing about it is. When you post a piece of art for sale. They also sell other things. Like prints, tee shirts, p...

A co worker took this snapshot of me a few years ago. A snapshot of me after I became my father. And a long line of American working stiffs.

Steel & Bronze

See Ya Later

I've started on the backbone and ribs. However, I will need to stop working on this piece for a time.
Life happens of course. So will get back to this in the furture.
I post these build logs to perhaps help people to know of a differnt way of working with metal. I hope I have done that.

Will tack hips together. Will weld at a later time.

Will form hips with hammer and vice.

This time I made a pattern on the metal. And use the band saw to saw the two hafts. And remember,
in art, Failure is an option.

The Hips.
Now in making the hips. What I tried to do this time was use the steel strips. I made a pattern and placed the strips on the
pattern. Did'nt work when I try to forum it. Here are photos of my wast of time.

Well, I will go ahead and finish the skull. 1st I,ll make the cleaning brush longer.

Will set skull aside. And go back to later.
