MAN- statue- zodiac

This is the Zodiac speaking... I am taking an opportunity to do a little cross posting. I asked Jon to teach me how to weld so that I might be able to create some of the cool art that I see him working on all the time. Learning to weld and cut comes with a few minor, or major, burns. I must admit I cried.
However I must admit that it turned out pretty cool. This is just the start of what I am trying to do. With the help of Jonny I intend to turn this into a great work of art rivaling, and perhaps, surpassing the teacher. If you want to see what I have done with the first twenty eight years of my life instead of learning to weld, click over to my blog at zodiacsword.blogspot.com and read all that I have to say.
