PETE THE PELICAN AND ME!

This is a photo of me in my monstrous glory mig in hand working on a pelican sculpture, inspired by a trip to Bateman's Bay where the pelicans were perched on telegraph poles. He is made from Reo-bar, steel plate, header tines, slasher blade and combes.

EMU



This little emu was created from a plough disk, twisted star picket, cogs, barbed wire, pipe and railway sleeper plate. The new owners were delighted.

BIRDS IN FLIGHT

These are made from 2 different plough tips which when put together look like a Welcome Swallow. Suspended on a length of thin rod they happily fly in a medium breeze and occasionally make a lovely melodic clang.
