Barbie The Welder is an American metal sculptor, published author of six books, and an advocate for the skilled trades from Pompano Beach, Florida.
Growing up in a deeply creative home, Barbie’s Mom is a published cartoonist and her Dad a jack of all trades, Barbie was encouraged by both parents to work with her hands and mind to create. Inspired by the movie Cast Away, starring Tom hanks, Barbie attended an adult welding program at Elmira, New York Boces in November 2007 and was hired at Cameron Manufacturing And Design in Horseheads, New York in March 2008 where she learned the art of welding and fabrication from the brilliant craftsman she worked with. Barbie took her fabrication skills home and taught herself how to design and create art in her garage after work at night and on the weekends.
Barbie quit her job she loved to realize her dream and become a full-time artist September 1, 2014.
Because of the influence Bob Ross had on her growing up, Barbie began teaching how to weld art through her KZbin channel in 2015 after not being able to find resources to learn.
Soon after she was invited by a publisher to write a book teaching how to weld art, and How To Weld Horseshoe Art; 30 Projects You Can Easily Weld At Home was born. Barbie went on to write and self publish five more books, How To Weld Scrap Metal Art; 30 Easy Welding Projects You Could Make At Home, How To Weld Silverware Animals Metal Art Welding Projects For Fun and Profit, The Inspiration Blueprint; How To Design and Create Your Inspired Life, Fuck You Fuel; How To Turn Shit Into Sugar, and The Artist Guide To Branding, Marketing and Selling Art Online.
Working with Bogi Latiner for a month in 2017 on Bogi’s Girl Gang Garage all woman’s frame up build of a 57 Chevy pick up later unveiled at Sema became a mentorship for Barbie that continues to help her grow herself and her business. Barbies other inspirations include Indian Larry and Billy Lane both who caught her attention through the TV series biker build off in early 2000. The craftsmanship and creativity of both men spoke to her soul.
Barbie started out riding on the gas tank of her dad‘s Honda motorcycle because she was too little to hold on sitting behind him, so when she was asked by Jesse James Dupree, lead singer of Jackyl, to design and create two sculptures for Harley Davidson she jumped at the chance driving the 24 hours to Sturgis by herself from NY and sculpting HOGs 35th anniversary sculpture live at Sturgis motorcycle rally at the Pappy Hoyle Campground and then she returned home to sculpt Harley Davidson’s 115th anniversary sculpture in her garage which was later presented to Harley Davidson on stage during the Jackyl concert at the 115 anniversary celebration in Milwaukee.
Barbie has welded live at Americade Motorcycle Rally, SEMA show in Vegas for Miller Welders, Harley Davidsons 115th Anniversary, and at shows and events up and down the east coast.
Barbie has designed and created sculptures for Miller Welders, the American Welding Society, Chicago Pneumatic, Carolina Shoe Company, two cities and clients in many countries.

Great job , Barbie , like the 🌼 🌻 Talk soon Barry !

[@joem2745]

I was just looking at a coil of roofing nails and thought, that would make an incredible sunflower head.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

There you go! Artist!🤘🏻🤩⚡️❤️‍🔥👩🏻‍🏭 There you go! Artist!

[@DrewToner]

You are the sunflower of my life...!! Nice plant 🌿

[@jvazquez53]

That is so awesome! You inspire people to get into art and welding!

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Yes!!!

[@brysonalden5414]

As a fairly experienced blacksmith, and a novice welder, I got some great ideas from this video. Many thanks! Mine won't look too much like yours, but you definitely gave me some ideas.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Glad it helped

[@rickbrown8465]

Super cool, thanks for showing me how to make this. Looks like a fun project that I'm sure my wife will love for her Greenhouse.

[@zoranbilbiloski652]

I really like this,I'm gonna make this for a gift for someone special!Thank you for sharing this Supergirl!!!!

[@segundoadrianvivar7200]

wow that impressive work barbie 👏👏👏

[@daverose6368]

Thank you. Your kind words and direct guidance are both equally appreciated. I made a sunflower as you described for a friend- but it's about 2 feet across and currently 10 feet tall... Thank you again.

[@JackdeDuCoeur]

Yay Barbie!

[@jeffgrier8488]

You never cease to amaze me, that's awesome!

[@justintasht1067]

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Have you welded this project? I'd love to see what you created! Email me at [e-mail] to share your art with me!

[@tapaniturku9324]

I welded flowers like that. At least they don’t wither, and I don’t have to worry about changing soil😅

[@timothyjohnson7521]

Looks great 😊

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Thank you!

[@timothyjohnson7521]

I make mine out of budwiser beer caps

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Your art tastes better than mine does🤘🏻😜

[@timothyjohnson7521]

Do you have a school or a class

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I’m welding live online most days and teaching as I go.

[@avapusey1198]

I love this and I wanna do this for my mother because she loves sunflowers but I had one quest when your welding and doing a spot weld how long do you do them for? Like how long do you hold it if that makes sense?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Done like a tack weld very quickly

[@azmkilz13]

Absolutely amazing! Is there any way possible you’d be willing to make the pieces for a template and sell/ send them? I’m not the best welder in the world, but I can hold my own with the same Miller 211! I don’t have the right combination of tools to make the pieces, but I can definitely tackle the welding portion just fine. Let me know please, I’ve been dying to make a decent sunflower, and this video of yours gave me the inspiration and the “okay, I can do this” mentality.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I’ll think about it! I was selling these metal art welding kits that I designed but now other people have designed the same ones and are all over the place but I have some other things like that sunflower project that I still have that would be a really fantastic kit to sell. Let me think on this, and stay tuned please! Thank you so very much for this question! I appreciate you!

[@IrresponsibleTrader]

Barbie, great project. What size air compressor do you use? I tried using a right-angle grinder and a 14.5 cfm@90 air compressor and it bogged down.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

I’m using an 80 gallon but a 60 gallon will work perfectly! About $600 at tractor supply.

[@Oe_77]

What is the material and measurements

[@BarbieTheWelder]

Steel and 3”

[@mattsiefert7544]

How big is the circle?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

1.5”

[@noahwarnock5220]

How long and how wide were your pedals?

[@BarbieTheWelder]

It depends on the circle size. Find and print out a picture of a sunflower you like and use the measurements so the circle and the pedals are in proper proportion to each other.

[@noahwarnock5220]

@@BarbieTheWelder I built one previously BASED off everything I saw but I'm going for a smaller scale for someone's birthday so. I have pictures of the first one I built if you have an email I'd be glad to forward em.

[@BarbieTheWelder]

[e-mail] i’d love to see them

[@workinman3878]
