Dave,
Excellent use for that ancient tool called "shovel".

[welderdave10]

i guess i make a pretty good profit,i find most the stuff in a junk yard or stuff people just throw away.a welding rod or two,sometimes i paint them sometimes i leave them rusty.but i will sell the mask or flamingos for 35 to 40 dollars at the flea market. all it takes is my time and i enjoy doing it.

Welcome to the board, Dave...that's a great idea, making shovels into art so's ya don't hafta use 'em....I gotta do that!

Cool stuff, Dave

[welderdave10]

Very nice, next come up with a nice piece of art made from post hole diggers. Man I hate using those things.

I just had a mental image of a giraffe with the head and neck made from some post hole diggers.
