So I sit down at the local watering hole and this tint little guy is in front of me. All the signs point to 3/32 stainless filler wire. Blackened tip from lack of gas and snipped on the other side. The fucking #theweldlife for sure. #welding #weldernation #weldlicious #tigwelding #tigandchill #instawelder #weldingislife #ilovewelding #arcempire #itcallstome #imisswelding #weldeverydamnday #weldingisawesome (at Falls Lounge)

Working in a smoker and getting irritated. Norton abrasives are not doing that good of a job anymore, glue doesn't do well in cold weather on the sand paper, and the DeWalt flap disc I think they do pretty good so far, I've had better from industry the cool down process could be faster. #weldeverydamnday #weldingislife #grindandshine #fablife #nortonabrasives #dewalttools #dirtyhandscleanmoney #supportbluecollar #bluecollarasfuck #suppliesaintcheap #supportsmallbusiness #weldnation #weldporn https://www.instagram.com/p/BsYzf0TjWqR/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fstk3rgjlx9g

This happened today. A few installations in the Versalle’s sculpture garden. These pieces were my absolute obsession for a time. My sense of humor is actually allowed when I do these- so - like there’s a mini-skeleton taking his tree for a walk- a organization bird- normally made from paper- here is in metal- chained from the tree. Much of the metal was donated by a client- he had been diagnosed with ALS- the condition took his career from him. Pounds and boxes of interesting gears and bits. Things now unwanted- I wanted to give them a second life- another chance to be important. Those boxes became almost an analogy of people- of a person- maybe even of me. But it wasn’t just about me- it was about once being useful and wanted- then outcast- outside of its normal place in the universe- it’s destiny now uncertain. Many thanks to Jon, Judy and Mike, Chris and Glen, Larry and others- for helping me follow my obsessions- Most of these wound up at the recycled art in the park show- portage public library, and the gallery in Vicksburg. Thank you to Judy and Mike for giving them a temporary home. The huge bird is in the mountains somewhere - Colorado i think. #tattoosbyraven #recycledart #weldingislife #artislife

Lay out and fab day at school today. I made a pull up station that separates right above the dip bars. #welder #weldingsculpture #weldersdoitbetter #weldingisart #weldingislife #migwelding #tigwelding #artist #welderporn #weldernation #welderslife (at North Arkansas College)
