Turning Scrap Steel Into Yard Art

Hi Everyone,

Bought a scrap 250 gallon propane tank. It was scrapped by the local propane supply company. I found it at a local scrap yard.

Instead of letting them smash or cut it up and send overseas, I bought it and then cut it up myself.

Here in Alaska it is a favorite pastime to have friends over, and sit outside around a fire ring, while swapping stories and enjoying liquid refreshments.

I cut the tank up and created original Alaskan Art work for people's yards. Here are a couple of the completed Fire Rings I'm trying to sell.

These were cut out using stencils I made from photos in AutoCAD. Using a acetylene torch to hand cut the figures in the 3/8" thick steel rings.

Over all ring dimensions are 37" Diameter by 20" high.

Here are the photos with what they are in case the cut-outs don't make sense.

I enjoy watching metal burn while recycling scrap steel into Yard Art!
