Product Description
by Barbie The Welder (Author)
Turn ordinary silverware into lasting welded art.
In this updated edition, professional metal artist Barbie The Welder shares 30 step-by-step projects designed to help you build real artistic skills while creating unique animal sculptures from forks, spoons, and knives. Projects are arranged from beginner to advanced, allowing you to build skill and confidence as you move through the book. Early sculptures are designed for complete beginners, while later projects introduce more complex forms and technical challenges. Each project is marked with a fork rating system-one fork for entry-level builds and up to five forks for the most detailed and demanding sculptures-so you always know the level of difficulty before you begin. With over 400 detailed photographs, each project walks you through the process from raw material to finished piece. You'll learn how to work confidently with silverware, create clean work using MIG or TIG, and develop an eye for balance, proportion, and detail. The projects included are owl, frog, fish, dog, scorpion, cat, bird, cricket, turkey, dragonfly, spider, snail, crab, octopus, turtle, lizard, penguin, bunny, mouse, peace frog, duck, turkey, goat, deer, butterfly, ant, giraffe, goose, flamingo, and porcupine.
