finished goose

I keep looking at this goose and I can’t believe I made him. I started by constructing a  metal frame and  then I  attached small scraps of metal to the frame. I then welded and welded and welded some more. The neck is  hollow as I  just welded around and around  and around until I got up to […]

This little birdie flew out to Gig Harbor today

What an awesome day! We walked along the waterfront  had a lovely  lunch and  popped into a  half a dozen shops!  Thank you John, Jody and Liam for giving this little birdie a new home.

Liam’s Birdie

I took a break from working on the goose today and made a fun little birdie.  I will coat him tomorrow. Specail thanks to my old college chum Jody for the  upside down shovel challenge! 

update on goose progress

I love using my  copper coated steal  and in all the photos I have looked at of geese the  bottom feathers are a  different color than the rest of the bird . I have some trimming to do  on the  copper wire and a  bit more wire to  add and I still have some grinding […]

A Goose and Owl

I think I might use copper wire for the back tail feathers and I still have some work to do on the front and neck. The cute owl head in the coffee can is Brad Isley’s project. He has been helping me bend metal instead of working on his own project.

Mr Studer is getting close to being complete.

The best part of this project is that I  brought it home tonight and my family could tell it is  supposed to be a goose! Special thanks to Brad Isley for working in the shop with me and helping me on everything I need help with to get my project done on time. Thanks to Peter […]

Mr Studer & Lucy Goosy

I am  slowly making  progress on my  first goose. I am  looking forward to  having it done so I can start something new. Special thanks to MR Studer for being such an awesome model. 

Three Little Birds

As part of my workshop clean up project I have been working on  using up some of the art supplies that have  been  sitting around the  shop for awhile.  these  little  birds are  made from  shovels, horseshoes , disc brakes and a few other  odds and  ends. From left to  right, Fern, Eve, & Dixie  added […]

Lucy The Goosey

This is the end of week one working on the goose.  My  goal is to finish him by  next Sunday. I am just welding back and forth and  back and forth. Grinding a bit and then  welding  back and forth.  I might work on the neck and the head tomorrow.
