Stainless steel tig welding with spoons

I found out about this project when I was going to school in Edmonton, AB. At N.A.I.T. ( Northern Alberta Insititute of Technolgy) I was lucky enough to have teachers that were enthused about the artsier side of welding. One of my teachers were selling these birds which I thought would make a good present so I got one.

These first two pictures are the ones that I got for the gift.

I later got convinced to try this project which turned out great after a little hard work! These pictures are of the two I have completed.

I was going for a Blue Jay with the one and a bird of prey for the other.
