Swipe➡️for process...okay so I cheated a little, it’s not 1/2” plate throughout but rather 3/8” doubled up then blended. Got a little lazy and didn’t weld the inside corners, didn’t think anything of it but after the patina and waxing process a tiny bit of oxidation crept out from those open joints...oh well, lesson learned. Still looks pretty good from my backyard...#process #workflow #tigandchill🔥 #welding #fabrication #metalworking #industrialdesign #handmade #lovewhatyoudo #builtnotbought #maker #custommade #weldingandstuff #doityourself #instawelding #weldedart #cigarashtray #cigarsdaily #cigarashtrays #tuesdayworkflow https://www.instagram.com/p/B3XHXy7gJ9n/?igshid=r3kwug2mq453

Fancy. I cannot take credit for this design, however, it was inspired by the one and only @birdmanthewelder...His creation looked so incredible I just couldn’t resist. Added a little extra somethin to the sides and this is off to a fundraiser auction. #birdmanthewelder #fabrication #metalart #ashtrays #tigandchill #metalworking #madebyhand #weldingisfuckingawesome #mergeworkshop #instawelder #thanksforlooking #weldingandstuff #homedecor #cigarsdaily #lovewhatyoudo #metaldesign #cigars #cigaraficionado #cigarporn #cigarphotos https://www.instagram.com/p/B3UNz39AwjB/?igshid=hilfo0uxs7qu

Just completed another one of these boxes, what do ya think?? Used the 1/2” steel plate from my last post as the base, adds some heft so its not as tippy when the lid is open. This one is off to a fundraiser for a local family. #maker #custommade #weldingandstuff #tigandchill #doityourself #instawelding #metalworking #metalfab #industrialfurnituredesign #interiordesign #mondaymotivation #mergeworkshop #jewelryboxes #handmade #designinspiration #weldedart https://www.instagram.com/p/B2wgCh9AyIb/?igshid=10kzmfy1uzz5w

Done. Kinda. Probably a little more polishing to go but wanted to see how it looks all put together. A few lessons learned, namely what a shitshow it is trying to weld aluminum on a dirty filthy old piston. Also got impatient waiting for new brass stock so I thought I would be clever and re use an old bronze bushing, flatten it out and sand it down for polishing...what an unforgiving material to work with as far as finishing goes...looks pretty good tho...#trophy #awards #racing #motorsports #weld #fabrication #woodworking #piston #aluminumwelding #mergeworkshop #thanksforlooking #repurposed #tigwelding #metalfabrication #metalfinishing #shoplife #lovewhatyoudo #metalartwork #makestuff #artstagram #artist #metalsculptures #metalfinishing #design https://www.instagram.com/p/ByknLxqA7o6/?igshid=1ur39gzp399wx

“Topping out”. A time honored tradition in construction in which the last beam of a structure is hoisted into place, commonly painted white and signed by the tradesmen and others completing that job. I recently had the honor of putting this piece together for the soon to be Craddock family, whose groom to be is a union ironworker out of New York. Just like on the big job, this will be signed by family and friends on the big day. Thank you for entrusting me with this project and best wishes to you guys!! . . . . . #ironworker #ironworkers #wedding #weddingdecor #weddingphotography #weddingdesign #weddingday #weddingplanner #weddinginspiration #metal #metalart #metalworking #metalfabrication #lovewhatyoudo #build #makestuff #industrialdesign #industrial #weddingtabledecor #weddinggifts #weddinggiftsidea #weddingplanner #weddingplanners #weddingday #weddingdesign #thanksforlooking #handcrafted #handmade #industrialdesign #industrialdecor https://www.instagram.com/p/BuHNQC5ATP9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=kj5vmerrakzp
