Home >> Heavy Metal [Art] During the winter break after the first semester of freshman year in 2003, my friend at home had a welder. A couple of us taught ourselves how to weld. At some point I borrowed the welder for a project and ended up buying it for a killer deal and bringing up to Blacksburg around 2006. I started welding random scrap pieces together just for fun. One day I welded some nuts together that turned into a coffee table leg. After that, I started actually making things. For the love of melting steel with an electric arc. Generally, I get my inspiration from the metal I find. When I get lucky, I find some cool metal and get an idea of what to make with it. My style is big, heavy pieces, both furniture and non-functional sculptures. I make some inside stuff, which is cleaned and clear-coated to prevent rust, but I like dirty, rusty outside yard art even more. Techniques I use include MIG welding (FCAW), stick welding (SMAW or MMA), plasma cutting & gouging and abrasive grinding & cutting. I can also TIG weld, GMAW and oxy-fuel braze/weld/cut, but don't use those for HM[A].

Non structural welding, such as in art, is not done with the care and proper method that structural welding is. Any poorly placed welds are not representative of my welding skills. Safety Note: Although I have never had an injury incident with any Heavy Metal [Art], there is some concern with the possibility of drunk people, kids, etc. walking into something. As a result, I will not be responsible for any injury in which Heavy Metal [Art] is involved.
