Metal Art -- Wall Crosses

[Nashulee]

Hey yall, so I do quite a bit of different metal art ranging from Steampunk stuff to large sculpture to yard art to wall hangers n such.

Here is some of my stuff....

These are wall Crosses. All the welding done n the back so the welds are not seen.
this one is out of large horseshoe nails:



this is out of .25x.25 square tube pieces


this is out of Acorn Nuts:


Satinless Barstock:

Nice work! I like the tube pieces and barstock ones the best.

[ArchAngel]

Same, those really caught my eye. The top horseshoe nails one, also.

Thank you very much, here is some of my steampunk stuff:

This is a lamp I made starting with an old air compressor cylinder head and some copper pipe and electrical boxes and such. I have about 40 hours in this piece.




Here is a Dual Edison Lamp:

Wow, those are really, really cool!

Out of curiosity, do you this as hobby or an art, or do you sell as well? Like on etsy or some other site?

[Nashulee]

I do sell, when I have time. Nothing on Etsy yet, though I am considering that once we get into the new house. Juts word of mouth, ebay ,a such. I have some pretty crazy other things, I will post more later.
Thank you for the compliments.

Wow, cool stuff! How long did the light take to make?

[Nashulee]

The top lamp I call the lamp machine was around 40 hours the bottom one was about 20 hours.

Wow, now those are some decorations/lamps! Great stuff

[ccgr]

How much do you typically charge for the crosses or lamps? (curious considering the time and materials put into them)

[blacksinow]

I actually have a huge metal cross that I've yet to hang up in my room. It has mirrors built in and is almost as tall as me.

[ccgr]

got a pic?

[Nashulee]

The wall crosses are typically around 40.00, the lamps all differ by time invested. The twin Edison Lamp was sold for 200.00 and the large Machine Lamp I call it is at my office but I would sell it for around 400.00.

The wall plates I do run around 30 to 40 bucks, depending on the time and then my bigger pieces run anywher from 200 to 2k at this point.

Here are a few steampunk light switch covers I have made.

That is some stunning work my friend. O_o It's both beautiful and awesome.

What type of welding equipment do you use, if you don't mind my asking?

I love those switch covers.

Love that stainless barstock cross and the edison lamp!
Post when you put something on ebay or start using etsy?
