Topic: starting my metal sculpture class today

[comcrx]

I really hope they don't mind me trying to make cool stuff for the bike and passing it off as sculptures!

I've been waiting for a year to start this class and I'm pretty stoked!!!!!

Cool.  Can you bang out one of these for me?  Tell them it's a flower pot or something.

You wouldn't be the first to do an engines as art thing, check out the quite ludicrous writeup "Roger Hiorns  Nunhead" in this link

Hope you enjoy the course. I've been using welded steel for some sculptures recently and it's great - so direct. I started out as an architectural stone carver - churches and old buildings and stuff - but don't do so much of that work anymore.
 Let us know how you get on and post some pictures. The scrapyard project sounds loads of fun. Making things is good for the soul
