I’ve Made Some Whimsical Winter Scenes From Old Snow Shovels

ADVERTISEMENT

I’ve been working with old rusty tools for a couple of years now and love giving these discarded items a new life.

I use a plasma torch and hand cut custom designs into old tools. Some items will have other parts welded on as well.

Most of my work involves saws, but I also work with shovels, rakes, masonry trowels – and well, pretty much anything else metal that I can find at a yard sale!

    Here’s a closer look that shows how little snowbabies are “made” – I hope it’s not too graphic!

    Snowball fight!

    A detailed shot of two players. I used a Craftsman saw medallion as the football, staples as part of the helmets and again, wires for the arms

    The tree swing

    Not many people notice the squirrels right away, but this is one of my favorite designs!

    If I could make something close to being half as good as that, I would - oh wait I can’t make anything half as good as that.
