Moving some metal art into the shop to make it more fun to be in here. I have been restructuring the shop to focus my work and prepare for more live streams. Since you can’t physically be in my shop I thought making a really good live stream for you to come hang out would be the next best thing. I have really good feelings about 2020. I’m going to to my best to make it a good year 🙌🎥🎩 #fronius #welding #magicwave230i #transsteel2200 #atst #starwars #shoporganization #metalsculpture #metalart #worksbyahurst https://www.instagram.com/p/B5gSOCRAngW/?igshid=hw2ui3wx3vlh

Morning folks. Let’s make it a good one..... but first ☕️ #coffee #coffeetime #coffeelovers https://www.instagram.com/p/B5NZ91bASTe/?igshid=g8v2pcoe43c8

A cut and etch I did a while back to test and see if my MIG welds were penetrating. It’s Interesting to see what the parent materials is doing under the weld bead. This was an inside and outside corner joint weld. It's one thing to make a good looking weld it's another thing to make a weld be solid and you just don't know if you don't look. Actually I still don’t know 🤔 #welding #weldlife #weldporn #weldernation #metalwork #weldeverydamnday #weldingsmostwanted #fabrication #weld #dailygrind #metalsculpture #metalartist #craftsmanship #worksbyahurst #instawelder #theweldlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B5K2dRNAJQf/?igshid=1gkiajk4b917t

Sometimes it takes both hands.... actually most times.... well ok... all the time. It just takes two hands. 🙌 #welding #fronius #froniuswelding #froniusperfectwelding #migwelding #metalsculpture #metalart #metalartwork #worksbyahurst @froniusweldingusa https://www.instagram.com/p/B5JL7IKAGqo/?igshid=1seu779hyos07

I’m told that size matters. I completely agree. This tiny thing is awesome! @ckworldwide Micro Torch! The tungsten is almost as thin as my mig wire! That’s the business end of a standard Fronius mig gun for comparison. And in typical fashion the end of the razorblade that is off the screen is totally blown out🤣🤣😬🤫 #welding #weldeveryday #microtig #fronius #ckworldwide #microtorch #razorbladechallenge #worksbyahurst https://www.instagram.com/p/B5IzFGTAJRk/?igshid=72vk5m6pe7i1
