Scrap Metal Bike

in art •  7 years ago 

So my dad used to work as a welder (ηλεκτροσυγκολλητής in Greek) at the Greek Power Corporation but he is now retired for several years. He is using his time creatively to create candles, wooden crafts and scrap metal creations.

Over the years we stockpiled a lot of old broken devices and things from metal that we no longer needed. He is using part of those scrap metals to weld them and create bikes, tanks, ships etc.

Here is one of his first creations, The Silver Bike:

More Creations

If you like metal creations, crafts and art in general and want to see more, show some love at this post. He is doing it as his own hobby, not professionally and his next creations are getting better and better.

Have a great day! - Chris Myll @coolmyll

You have a very cool Dad who makes very cool stuff! All the best and much inspiration to him!

Hi @coolmyll your dad its very creative..the silver bike so minimalistic ..great

Nice work! I can picture him intently crafting all those tiny pieces into their final shapes as parts, all the while loving the challenge and being satisfied with the result. Following your passion is the best. Does this kind of talent run in the family?

I try to be creative and learn from him but as you can see from my other posts i am more into tech and programming. I am trying to combine both though. Its fun to work with your hands.

such an artist! I salute to the creative mind and hands to your dad! I wish I'm his student for that kind of art. wish to see his other masterpieces in your next post.
