    This is what I do with Motorcycle gas tanks

    I turn them into ART. An old rusty gas tank is turned into a Fish. Usually I pay about $5.00 bucks for the tank or I get it free from a friend. And cut, grind and weld. When they are all finished I get from $200.00 to $500.00 per tank/Fish

    Here are four of the 74 fish I've made so far.

    Thankyou, Very much. Here is picture of my shop that I'm in the process of trying to complete. I will be set up with my welding equipment and a forge and anvils. Can't wait to get it finished so I can go crazy making the things you don't see everyday......

    Thankyou, to all who replied to my post. You all are too kind!!! Just trying to do my part in recycling all the junk and turning it into something that is appealing to your eyes. I have a blast in the shop.

    I made a Large funnel out of 22 ga Steel, and attached the flower petals to the funnel. THEN Bent a piece of pipe to a disc brake from a car that is the base. I won't be on here very often for about a week. My computer is in the shop. Getting debugged.
