          We started at the studio of a local sculptor, welder and treasured family friend, Ned Cain.
 
        
        Stick welding
          Next we signed up for a 6 week course through the local technical college. NWTC Artisan Center
 
        
        MIG Welding
          The school cut the butterfly shape on a plasma table, all I did was attach it to an old railway spike.
 
        
        Mig Weld
          All the parts cut out with the shear & a hand-held plasma cutter. (Hilariously not straight results.)
