Learning how to bend sheet steel
 

Hi everybody! I'm Dave Pearson in Northampton, England. I started welding sculpture last year to help me switch off from the trauma of Mum slowly dying of cancer. I used washers because they were small and bendable (with a vice and hammer) and made it easy to get the shape I wanted. Now I want to sculpt with sheet steel too, so learning how to heat, hammer, slit and weld various shapes will be invaluable for me. Thanks in advance for sharing your skills with me!

I love it Dave. Welcome to Allmetalshaping.

Welcome to the forum, Dave.

I have a neighbor here in South Carolina who lives on the other side of two large fields. His name is David Pearson. He was a race car driver, not a sculptor.

Hi Dave,

Sorry to hear about your mum slipping away. Sculpting is my thing these days and I spend many a happy hour absorbed in my craft so I get why you'd do that. Look me up if I can help at all.

Will

Welcome to the forum, Dave :) Love the sculpture - very clever!
