HOW TO MAKE A STEEL FISH (PERCH)

[weldalot1]

here here Gordon.. Elcustard dont be such a TWAT. Touch of jealousy me thinks. If you are not interested why the hell did you watch the vid???. FANTASTIC WORK GORDON.. Im a welder to trade and not bad artist but never tried sculpture. Im always drawing Eagles so gonna give that one of yours a go. Absolutely AWESOME. Would love to meet you and see more of your work im a real fan

[gorgeousgordon]

@weldalot1 thanks for your comments.

if your'e ever in wiltshire get in touch

[yardwerx]

that was awesome, very fun to watch and inspiring. I bet you've never "worked" a day in your life doing what you love. cheers

[joedstephens11]

Ranks high in my videos...... great work.

[SaschaBlue]

They all look amazing!

[liviaawarren]

I'm a bit confused as to how when you put on the gills it also made a mouth to attach the lips to. Any chance of an explanation on that bit?

[gorgeousgordon]

@liviaawarren you can see at about 3:30 the gill shapes being formed ... i then welded them onto the face, cleaned it up and cut the mouth out with a cutter blade in my grinder ........ does that make sense?

[CapoBoos]

This is an amazing demonstration - and very helpful as I am about to make a metal-sculpture of my own. Thanks a lot!

[shortfusedleathernk]

Seems like you have alot of hours to create one.

[jaysmetalart]

very cool video, srry about the people that have no clue about metal art and the skills required to create in a metal medium...all in all a very good video that shows the labor involved in creating in steel...not to mention the tools and skills involved, I create fish also, and have sold some of my pieces for over 200 dollars, have you ever looked into metal coloring?....anyway very cool....Jay

[mitchellsk]

That's awesome... and entertaining. How did you make it swim in the water at the end? Just kidding :)

Nice work!

[RandomPsychic]

Love getting baked and watching this stuff...its therapeutic.

[mbungabungah]

Great insight into creation. I too have a metal shop (Laser Welding) and have made items that amuse me. I've thought of entering competitions, but "I'm scared" of winning because I dont have formal artist qualifications. I've been to the University of Life.

Daily I fix the impossible , play with the capabilities of doing nano sized sculptures 10mm High and really just want to shut shop and do what you do on a nano scale.

I think I might do a nano fish...an Aussie Barra. You have inspired me.

[OnlyWelding247]

sick as, old school stick welding sheet metal, the fish looks good as.

[smre1234]

awesome work, is that 12 gauge?



[bhancock714]

i love this! you're so talented. the way they're sculpted makes them so real! i would love to learn to do this sort of thing but im new to the art scene. i have a lot of learning to do! thank you for sharing your gift!

[FISHBREATHH]

Xlnt work.......there is a lot of labor there,

My arm hurts these days when I do that much pounding.

[coccolithB]

Love the way it starts looking gutted and then gets put back together! :o)

[egamiyknip]

This is brilliant. Proper bloke in a proper  workshop making a great fish. Brilliant dude!

[DarkSkyVideo]

Amazing. Excellent video editing too.

[weldmama]

great video gg, i am very new to metal art and this helped explain a lot of the process, thanks for taking us through the steps you use. Can i ask what thickness of sheet metal you use?? Did you have to anneal it first before you hammered it?. Have a Merry Xmas and thanks again, cheers :-)

[MegaUltra17]

Dude awesome! you truly inspired me, that angel fish towards the end particulary blew my mind. BTW your helmet is sick!! keep up the good work ,,\/

[bannochie]

I have to admit when i first started watching this i thought it was lame, but then after a quick fast forward, it looked pretty good.

Nice job.
