- Welcome to my channel! In this video, watch as I transform scrap metal into a magnificent 2.5-meter-tall phoenix sculpture. I combine recycled materials with new metal, utilizing rebar for the intricate tail and copper accents to create contrast throughout the sculpture. Join me on this artistic engineering journey as I weld, shape, and bring this scrap sculpture to life. part1 of 2 videos.
This video is perfect for welders, metalworkers, art enthusiasts, and creators who appreciate the process of making things from recycled materials.

Really cool
I could watch you work all day. I love that you cut your steel with an angle grinder instead of a plasma cutter. I don't own one and cut everything with my grinder or OA torch (which I'm very messy with), so it's nice to see someone do such great work using the tools I use. I'm looking forward to seeing part two. Hurry up :) Btw, I love how you filled in the abdomen with all those little scraps, nuts, washers and weld, etc. and also think you should leave the texture on the beak. It looks terrific!
Thankyou, I really appreciate that! I do use the CNC plasma aswell for lots of things, it's just sometimes it's still faster to get the grinder out. When I started making sculptures all I had was a mig welder that was £100 and an angle grinder that I paid £15 for 😂 you can do plenty with just those tools to be honest 😁
Love it man came out awesome, very inspirational for my own metal work.
Thank you that's always nice to hear 😁
Love watching your videos I make sculptures out of cutlery. Can I asked what size steel bars you use to make the frames please
Hi, thanks glad you enjoy them. To frame things out I use 6mm round bar it's really cheap to buy and fairly easy to work with cold.
very noice i was just wondering what set up you use ie size of welder and gas ..and do you use the same setup to weld the mild steel, stainless steel and copper. But yeah keep up the good work Im just getting into sculpting myself so any tips appreciated 😀
It's an 'aip pirate' mig welder if I remember right it's 170amps. I use 0.8 mm mig wire with a co2 argon mix gas bottle. To weld steel and copper I just use the mig, it's not a strong weld but for sculptures it's fine. For stainless I would use Tig but rarely do that, cutlery that is stainless will be fine with the mig as long as it's not good quality cutlery 😂 hope that helps, I need to do a video of a few tips for getting started.
Cheers for that i'm using a clarke 151 te. I'll try some practise runs on the copper and satinless but i intend to put a euro torch on it and set it up to weld stainless with the dearer gas :(
@@neilgraham2403 if your welding copper to steel, aim more for the steel and just catch the copper slightly with the puddle, hard to explain but you will get it with practice no problem.
