FSA Ep. 1: Silverware Dragonfly

Here is my first video making something, a dragonfly made out of silverware. I'm still learning the video process and techniques, but I promise it will get better...

August 2023. Great 1st time video. I really like your candidness and honesty. You are raw and refreshing. keep up the good work!

[@childofchrist11608]

You did an outstanding job!!

[@colleenburt2265]

I think you did a great job with your video and editing. I'm not a welder, so I can't say!! I did love that dragonfly!

[@mariacastillo3092]

You have more talent than me. Love your projects.

[@terryreilly1382]

Nice work just enjoy what you're doing I'm 77 and love making different things and I'm still learning I get great satisfaction from what do and you appear to as well keep it up Terry England.

[@coldhardysucculentswithkdw4988]

You almost make me think I could do this! Awesome, I will not be looking at my silverware in the same way from now on. lol. Thanks

[@jamesshonk565]

You did a great job. The dragonfly is a nice piece.

I actually saw a couple of dragon fly's that big in 2014 where I live here in, big d texas. They we're brown, very plain looking. I had never seen one that big before. And I've spent a lot of time out doors all my life. I mean they we're as big as bats! I think they may have been after the geckos that hang out on our stucco wall out front. Awesome video! nice work!!

[@pumblerunknown8135]

nice work mate looking forward to seeing some more

[@farmshopart7121]

+matt waters Thanks Matt, hope to post a new one next week... hopefully with a new camera with better audio.

[@kimdimaggio6268]

Always wondered how people did those. Thanks for the video!

[@stephaniesalls1876]

Thank you for the video! It was really helpful and you have a great setup.

[@BillyKnoth]

+farm shop art .... this was a very cool project! big props! shared this....looking forward to more videos!

[@farmshopart7121]

+BK HVAC (Billy Knoth) thank you man, just trying to get the word out... more projects coming... thank you again!

[@michaelstrother9886]

I truly, enjoyed watching you work (AND I WAS WATCHING YOU AT 4AM!). I think you displayed about 50 to 65% of your CBG. I don't think the world could handle 100% of it. The most important thing is you kept it simple. You should always at the end of any video, display the finished product. Just so people can see the best way to display the item. Yet, showing people that you write down a list of notes for teaching is fantastic! I am a 21 Year Air Force Vet & I was also a Basic Training Drill Sargent So I've done some teaching for sure. Your CBG? OUTSTANDING!! KEEP IT UP... (country boy genius)

[@auroramori-hunter4510]

wow, that looks great!! Can't wait to see more :)

[@dazzlerthewelder2838]

Don't worry about pleasing others. Do it because you love it and be care free. Great simple video and easy to follow. Great job

[@lori-jeanpruitt8479]

You did a excellent job. Thank you!

[@johngarcia8269]

fantastic job for the first time !! also inspiring thanks

[@christined.3728]

I think you did a great job on the project, and the recording and editing!

[@heidirichards6476]

Beautiful job. I will keep watching you from Australia

[@ruthberke2913]

Very helpful and beautiful. Thanks

[@jennmorris3648]

Will you please tell me What kind of welder do you use ?

[@trajhen]

COOL AND CREATIVE, LOVE THE STORIES

[@chrissiediderrich760]

Love it you did a great job very impressed looking forward to more.

[@usernamemykel]

When I saw the channel name Farm Shop Art, I figured that you'd be using stick/arc/SMAW welding since it's the most used welding at farms to repair their equipment. So I was hoping that you'd be using "stick" to create your project, because I find very few art projects created with "stick" - most all of them are using MIG. Lotsa folks like me don't have accommodations fort MIG gear, nor the $$, so I was hoping that you would show me and the other "stick" welders how to create welded art the MIG-less way. Oh well, not the first time I've been disappointed (not your fault). I gave you a "Like" for the sincere efforts.

[@willyjacobson1771]

Such an excellent idea. I've never thought about welding cutlery to make art. I can try this with my powerarc welder.

[@1963impala2drWaylonWire]

nice job and congrats on your first video.. I do a fair amount of yard art myself so its always nice to run across a fellow junk artist. only thing I dont understand is how you keep your shop so clean! haha.. take a look at mine and you'll see why I'm amazed.. haha.. good luck to you going forward with your projects and your videos! :)

[@farmshopart7121]

"how you keep your shop so clean" thats called camera placement LOL! Glad you enjoyed the video! I'll check yours out...

[@johnclark4979]

This is a great job video was an easy follow and a real simple build which I am going to copy as a present for my daughter Your welding is fine all about the finished product and that’s beautiful

[@stevenellis9801]

Very nice. May i ask what type of welder you were using. Thanks so much!

[@doloreshunt8895]

Awesome ideas

[@kdf525]

You did a great job for your first video!

[@javaqueen1111]

Loved it! You’ve got talent!!!

[@Thefabforums]

Very nice. I will drop you share on the TFF Facebook page.

[@BillyKnoth]

The Fab Forums glad you dropped this link....great stuff

[@farmshopart7121]

+The Fab Forums thanks, i have metal art piece headed your way next week...

[@deeznuhts4647]

I can't wait to try this!

[@lindahobbs6298]

I don’t see any reason for you to apologize. It’s your work/style, which was well done.! So you use a welder, not soldering? Very interesting. Wish I had all the equipment you have., very nice. I do notice, you very seldom answer questions, very disappointed in this fact. That’s how we learn. Keep up the great work!!! I didn’t notice any sparks going wrong direction, etc. You did just fine

[@williammoore2259]

Are you using mig or flux core good job o the dragon fly bill

[@watababe72]

Can you use any kind of metal in your silverware art? How do you find the silverware that will work? I had some trouble and realized that it was the wrong kind of metal.

[@Woodden]

Keep making videos. You did a great job.

[@jonmccoy39]

Awesome job

[@steveraymond9718]

Do. You ever braze ? My Hobart 185 was stolen and not replaced yet. Would like to see braze insstruction

[@wendyrobert9253]

Great job, I love it!

[@huxmetalworks7371]

Great job keep it up loved the video do your own thing it's great work

[@pattidailey6803]

In enjoyed watching you.

[@danielmp-007]

What type of welding did you use?

[@barbarawatkins7643]

So enjoyed this video. thanks so much!

[@alanburton7935]

What kind of clamp are you using starting at 3:20?

[@TheInferno]

[@mariaferreiradossantos4766]

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho 😘👍🙏🙏🙏

[@allenreed5350]

You did great!

[@wayne1959]

First time viewer..Nice work man..

[@SwampRatNation]

Awesome, you got my ideas going

[@nigeltaylor8310]

Hi what wire are you welding with please, is it flux core

[@dennisarnold379]

Very cool!

[@Dave-zl2ky]

Great job. Thanks

[@TRAPnHUNT]

Flux core wire or gas?

[@mistybarr8371]

nice. im gonna try it but by soldering. you asked for suggestions, so i would say 1st.. put DRAGONFLY GARDEN DECORATION in your title. 2nd.. it would be GREAT if "everyone" that has crafting videos would actually SHOW THE ITEM CLEARLY before and at the very end. You did show yours... but it would have looked great in the garden at the end!

[@shawnbodendorfer1867]

Hey your getting paid sculpture was awesome

[@patwilson9592]

Thanks

[@williammoore2259]

Could you show making the hooks out of horseshoes nails again I would appreciate it thanks bill

[@andrewpaulson2877]

Doing good keep going

[@4759690]

i love it

[@farmshopart7121]

+4759690 thank you

[@toddpaulsen1396]

I think this project would be a good way to introduce how to use my everlast welders with my kids.

[@farmshopart7121]

GREAT IDEA! I've been slowly working with my 6 and 9 yr old boys in the shop , leading up to welding... You'll see them in a video soon...

[@marieking816]

Thank you nice job

[@rosaotra8387]

it is lovely please keep trying

[@joannmoore5701]

Would like to see you make your horseshoe hooks again thank bill

[@LoriBurkett-w4q]

Can I flux core wire weld something like this with Blue Demon Stainless Steel 308LFC-0 gasless flux core Mig wire?

[@fuckinshitnme]

i think so.

[@irishlush364]

You can use .030 mild steel flux wire or the stainless wire

[@GypsyPaz]

That was a really great video after I got though the intro. You could totally be a top channel with 300K+ subscribers and earning more than your day job, just cut out the yakity-yak-yak and make a new video at least once a week.

[@ecstaticpenguin768]

Dang good work.

[@ecstaticpenguin768]

You didn't need much soldier.

[@ecstaticpenguin768]

Solder

[@messagefrom8749]

Good job

[@joannmoore5701]

Would like to see you make your horseshoe nails hooks again thank bill

[@prairiecracker214]

6 legs, it’s not a spider, also contrary to most of nature the rear wings are larger than the front pair

[@SwampRatNation]

But it’s hard to find a 3 pronged fork. LoL

[@weldan2477]

How much does the dragonfly sell for?

[@farmshopart7121]

I apologize , I just saw this. They sell for $35

[@bruceanderson7260]

What kind of welder and wire are you using?

[@dhduncan]

What do you use to cut stainless?

[@jefferyshelley6480]

Heather Duncan you can use a portable bandsaw, abrasive cut off disc on a electric grinder or even use a Dremel tool or a hacksaw if you wanted to
