What welding projects are you working on? Are you proud of something you built?
How about posting some pics so other welders can get some ideas?

Someone asked (a long time ago) for people to post other hand-cut plasma projects...

Butterflies: I made a set of 3 of these in differing sizes to jazz up the very boring back of my mum's shed.

Gate: Made this as an entry into our permaculture food forest. This was my very first project so don't look too closely at the welds! :D

Like it!!

Do you use something to accelerate the rusting process? If so I'd like to know the procedure.

Hi LtBadd,
I brushed on some HCL because I'm impatient, but they've weathered further very nicely on their own.
The butterflies have a bit of colouring because they were cut from 40gallon drums which happened to be cream coloured. I deliberately ground them down gently to expose 90% of the metal and left some patches for detail/interest. Pretty happy with how they turned out.
