Making a Metal Peacock From Scrap!!

I was asked to Make a scrap metal sculpture for Rob at Xtreme plasma to take along to shows and it was up to me what I made!!
I decided on a pillar with a peacock on top, created from a mixture of scrap and new metal.
Using my ‪@xtremeplasma‬ table I first created a pillar in Part one now in this part (part 2) I will be using it in a number of ways to create the peacock and its tail.
I use a few different processes in this video for joining the metal it is all Mig welded or bolted with hidden bolts, I love to apply heat to my sculptures to really bring them to life and add some contrasting colour, I also welded some pieces of copper to the stainless steel spoons to add even more contrast.

I like to show the process of how my mind works when creating something so you get to see the sculpture evolve along with the plan of how I'm going to do it!

A massive thankyou to Rob at Xtreme plasma for commissioning this piece.

Thank you as well to aip welding supplies for their continued support.
