When I started doing metalwork, I wanted to build two things: a motorcycle and a pterodactyl. Just finished the latter, former a ways off. Needed to protect our new koi in nuPond from being an avian buffet, so it was a best-of-both-worlds situation (AND a planter). Plus I got to play with drilling into rock to make his base. His total wingspan is a little over four feet, so this was my first foray into larger things. Won’t be my last. T-rex, here I come.
