i welded ART for my workshop | MIG welding Creative Beast Project | DIY Danie

[@NitrosMom074]

Oh my goodness! The Kenobi boop was the absolute best!!!

[@DIYDanie]

It gave me a lot of satisfaction too haha

[@kkaytericksonn]

I would love Kenobi boops in the future

[@marshawargo7238]

His look said "I've been saying I wanted to do that part for a long time now. Bout time you listened to me!"

[@katelynrochell]

I love all the boops!

Danie you never cease to amaze me! Your Kenobi sculpture is beautiful. It’s pretty cool that you never let not knowing how to do something stop you, you just start and figure it out. As they say “Can’t never accomplished anything.” Spectacular!!!

[@janakirchnerova3544]

You know, normal people would start with an easy shape rather than this complex form lol this turned out so great!

[@TurtleBea]

You really are the best combination of your parents. Getting to know you and them over the years I see how you were afforded the opportunity let your creative juices flow and because such a master creator that you are! You all have that creative gene and you are just a super special human being! It looks amazing! You go girl!!!

[@donnabacon4681]

OH! MY! GOODNESS! Danie, I was so taken in, that I leaned in to watch you create! For someone who "doesn't know what she is doing", you are pretty phenomenal!! You thought to create an orgami mask, marked out each section, created a pattern for each part/section, then cut out each metal piece, then welded all together? What! 🤯 I really liked the half mask as well. You are a very talented, creative, and mastermind woman. I am always in awe of what you do and create. Fantastic job! Kenobi must be proud! Enjoy your weekend!!!

[@thechops2000]

Omg, picking through all the treasures your dad has, is like my version of heaven 🧡🧡 I love how you always choose to laugh through frustration, imakes me feel lighter. Seriously, we can all learn from this simple gesture- allow yourself to have fun, no matter what you’re doing. I’ve really grown to love your channel, I appreciate your approach and optimism to all things. 🧡

[@DIYDanie]

Thank you ❤️ those words mean a lot xx

[@susanmorris-smith5509]

Well now… that is definitely an epic sculpture!!! Love the creative magic this week Danni 🎉🎶🤗

[@Dexy83]

NOTHING unhealthy about your love of your pup! I checked with Nutmeg, my almost 15 years old blind and mostly deaf fur baby, she agrees! 💙🐕‍🦺🐩❤

[@bluejenn30]

I am new to your channel and I absolutely love your work. I am 53 and have always been creative and love trying new things. My family always thinks I'm crazy and can't believe what I try to make. Sometimes I fail, but I tell them it's the trying that makes me happy. I am so glad to see women now a days showing young girls that they can do things that we typically see men doing. I always felt odd when my friends were so astonished that I could build my own sewing desk or dinning table AND that I liked fashion and jewelry just as much. Channels like yours broaden the horizons for the next generations of young women and let them know they can do anything they are interested in. This is what it means to be an "influencer"!

[@marim0y]

How did I not see this video until now? The algorithm is crazy. This is amazing.

[@rosataylor-faraj8198]

Danie I am amazed at your talent and ability every time I watch your videos. You truly can create things from your imagination, you’re a joy to watch. Kanobi is very cute

[@AndreasCreations]

AWESOME junkyard dog! You are so creative and I love that you share your magic with us. Fab journey to the end ❤

[@DIYDanie]

Thank you for watching my creative beast journey! ❤️

[@hollowayhandbag]

Fabulous, you done him proud. This really is a little work of art. You should be so proud of yourself. You are an amazing artist. The only way is up. I can't wait to see what you do next, big love, Marc

[@racheliannucci4720]

Kenobi is adorable. Your love for him is normal. Loved the Kenobi boop!!

The kenobi boop was so CUUUTEEE!! The project looks like kenobi from the side and like a bear from the front! Loved it! I think you should do more and have as sconces on your shop, very medieval dungeon-ish ❤

[@iceangel1701d]

Loved the Kenobi "boop"! Too fun :D PLEASE weld a horse next! That would be easy ... right? ...LOL! Whatever you decide to do next will be fun.

[@justinelord95]

Dani you don’t suck at welding you’re learning! Beginning something is the first part of the journey, and you’re doing an amazing job! Be kind to yourself….so many of us look to the awesome “let’s do it” example you set! You rock !! 🙏🐶 DIY win indeed 🌸😊

[@ronshamc]

OH MY GOODNESS! Is there anything you can’t do?! This is so incredibly AWESOME. I love your channel

[@DIYDanie]

Well it wasn’t perfect 😅 but I’ll try anything!

[@trishasosnowski548]

Anything Kenobi is awesome!!!! His boop was perfection!!! 🐕🐾❤️

[@janetboette7013]

Wow! Doggonitt it's Kenobi! He truly was great inspiration for this Creatve Beast.the pupper and I are so proud! Love it when you unleash the creative weirdo.

[@heatherreddish9286]

I can totally tell it’s a snout without it side by side. You’re doing amazing.

[@DIYDanie]

I felt like we all needed that guide 😂

[@lafemmerouge4271]

Kenobi boop! 🐾🖤🐾

[@DIYDanie]

❤️🐾

[@mollysmall8581]

You know, most of us would never even consider trying anything like this. Once again, you amazed me.

[@KimberlyInSoCal310]

I love this project and how it turned out! You can tell it's definitely a dog head. Kenobi is the bestest boy ever! He is such a handsome dog, it's nice to see you have an art piece you created that pays tribute to such a good boy.

[@LadyLJOII]

I wuz gunna say, look at pics of The Kelpies in Scotland. Horses, not dogs, but sort of sheathed around the forms with holes. Love the Kelpies. Great project u doin dere. 🎉

[@hannahjaneheathson]

I never stop being amazed by your creativity, positivity and ingenuity! Love how your whole family is just so handy and creative 😊

[@raynoladominguez4730]

When you are done with this project I suggest that you spray that origami bust and then coat it with porcelain spray. I love this project so much!

[@janetmoore1124]

Fantastic job! BTW your visit to your dad's workshop reminded me of my dad's shop. You could find all sorts of things in carefully (?) curated cans, tubs, bins, etc. Truly a magical place!

[@TamarLitvot]

Weavers do this also. Weavers have something we call "thrums" -- lengths of the what's left of the warp yarn (the threads stretched on a loom that we weave into) that we save to use in many other ways. A weaving teacher (a truly wise and kind human) told us a story about going through the studio of a weaver who had died and finding a box, neatly labeled: "thrums too short to use."'

Don't ever doubt yourself!! You are just AMAZING!!!

[@GinaBsStudio]

It looks phenomenal! I am in awe of your tenacity to jump in and use tools that you’re not comfortable with. I have wanted to try welding for the longest time. This was inspiring

[@bluecurlygirl]

When I saw the finished article I thought "if batman had a dog it'd look like that". Definitely bat dog. Great job Danie. Well done.

[@karengamboa6524]

Danie that Kenobi face is aewsome!

[@megangreen4389]

So amazing! I didn’t like to see you doubting yourself. I felt like you were almost in tears a couple of times. I love you! Keep showing me how to do things on my own. AND experimenting. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@teresabell1014]

We all need to do things that have no real purpose...just for fun ! Always love Kenobe !! We have always had German Shepherds.... Oh my goodness your dad's place ! You are so blessed to have parents and step parents.

[@melissam8939]

Danie, we all know that AF stands for "as foretold" 😉 Edit: stick a faux flame bulb in that thing!

[@DIYDanie]

OHHH of courrsseeeee 😂

[@tngirlz4622]

I think it’s looks like Kenobi! It was fascinating to see the process - and how smart of you to do an art project to teach yourself a new skill!

[@LoriAAndert-fc4xh]

Well Done! One suggestion…a dog tag. So glad you made this it was fun to watch you create it!

[@wendylawton8274]

Superb! As a lifelong sculptor-- clay, wax, porcelain-- this is harder than anything I'd ever attempt. Way to go, straight to the hardest medium to be had.

[@TheBibi0602]

Hi Danie! Im no pro or anything, but I do know a little bit about sculpting, your 1st port of call should be making a metal frame with wire (whether you weld or not is up to you), this should be the structural base and should look like a minimalist sketch of your idea with just lines. You would then cover that structure with flat metal sheeting with the curves of the face, ears, neck etc. After this I would start welding on the bits and bops you found at your dads to accentuate and cover. So imagine how much easier it would have been welding on your template rather than trying to weld and sculpt at the same time x

[@imogenvanderhoeven654]

This looks so good! I think you should weld a garden piece for the greenhouse garden. Maybe a mini wheelbarrow planter or a windmill for your Dutch heritage (:

[@L.J.H.-sg6eb]

YES SUCH A DIY WIN!!! JUSTLIKE RIDING A BIKE, DANIE! YOU GOT THIS!! LOVE IT!

[@lovingmayberry307]

Oh Danie! Junkyard Kenobe is awesome af !! 👏👏

[@Unpopularity]

Great first try. Maybe cover the weird half with clay and make it like half realistic, give it metallic paint. Then a bionic robot eye on the metal skull side. I feel like this is the start of something much bigger. Keep going.

[@kristinewells961]

Music kicks in and sparks fly!! Go Dani!!! ⚡️🤘🏼 ⚡️

[@maryhart637]

Wow! Looks wonderful❤❤❤ Kenobi is now immortalized forever🌈🙌💛

[@ConservativeVeteran]

Junkyard Dog is the perfect name! 300k? Can't understand why you're not over a million!!!

[@DIYDanie]

TELL EVERYONE!

[@marim0y]

Agreed. The fact that we get such a great product for free from her blows me away. It's so good.

[@farscape3100]

Do what makes you happy it will always show in your work😊😊

[@marybaranowski4175]

The junkyard dog is amazing! Very neat!

[@lilred312benett6]

Watching this project come together is giving me super villain vibes and I love it!

[@tishspirationstation2845]

I sent this to my dad. He is a 'retired' ironworker. He still works, but he is picky about the jobs he does. I remember him studying and preparing to get his welding ticket. He would love it if I learned how to weld. I am not brave enough to try, yet. I make jewellery as a hobby, with beads. Not metal. Yet. Maybe someday.

[@debbieidi5517]

WOW!!!! Your Kenobi metal sculpture is AMAZING!!! I LOVE IT!! 🐾💖🐾💖🐾💖🐾💖🐾

[@lifecoachwithlora1481]

You have the most inspiring and interesting diy channel on all of the internet! Your tenacity and creativity is simply unparalleled💪

[@amyweaver7413]

What a great way to practice welding! Don’t see bear at all - definitely dog/wolf. Love it.👏👏👏

[@DIYDanie]

Phew! 😅 haha

[@heatherburrill]

I love to see the process of skill gaining while having fun creatively! Wonderful video as always and give Kenobi a belly rub from me 😊

[@DIYDanie]

Plenty of belly rubs coming his way!

[@jaustin2927]

Is there anything you can’t do?? OMG! Just stunning! Boop!

Oh I was waiting for the video the whole week, it's realy amazing!

Im obsessed. Newbie or not you are super talented. Also..can we just take a minute to admire your curly hair👌

[@DIYDanie]

Thank youuu 🥹❤️

Dog-gone fantastic! I had a howling good time! Look! I think I even got some dog hair on me! Seriously - I think your staircase is going to be fabulous!

[@djmond3497]

Dani, you're the DIY QUEEN 👑!! LOVE THIS PROJECT!!!

[@tammytamz8767]

This is such a fund adventure! I’m all cheering you on as I’m watching 😆 “that looks amazing! You’re doing so great!! You’re amazing!!” 🤣

[@livingcreatively1]

You did a great job Danie. I love thinking like this, I'm not sure if anyone else does but, all those bits and pieces your dad probably collected over the years , went out to buy for specific reason or was given, thinking they were for a certain job but was infact collecting for you for this moment, the memories attached to them, especially the things in the rolly tool box have memories attached to them and you have now combined them to make an art piece about something you love. I know off the wall and no I don't do drugs it's just the way I think lol

[@gaill.7340]

Dad must be so proud!

[@sandrar2572]

I know it has to be a lot of work to put out these videos but I would watch you everyday . Great job !!

[@hunterhanna-yox7828]

Very impressive for someone who doesn’t weld a lot, looks amazing!

[@kathygoad]

Yes, queen! Welding for the win! You are just so inspiring!🤗

[@stefaniedee2969]

Love this little piece! Here in Sonoma County, CA we have our own artist Patrick Amiot who does really cool sculptures out of junk and found objects. I really enjoyed watching your process to make Kenobi's head likeness and mapping out each step. I am not an artist but I enjoy watching other people make their art come to life!

[@jericho662]

Solid attempt! You should turn this into a progress piece. A year from now you should try again...then again a year later. You'll end up with a really cool timeline of your welding skills and a super cool 3 headed dog/wolf/bear piece of art 😜 Grind it til you find it, baby!! 💜🖤

[@AdinaShoshanaSturman-os6tk]

BRAVO! Excited to see how your skills and talents continually evolve!

[@tiffanyross4266]

You did better than I could have. Congratulations

[@kitrinnasabino1701]

You are the coolest, most creative person on KZbin. Love you and all your creations

[@DIYDanie]

🥹🥹 thank you!

[@jhutch1681]

Kenobi boop? I am shook! Then I see your incredibly intricate dog-face pattern, and I have no words! Just WOW. Would it have bent more easily if you had heated it? I wasn't expecting such a geometric approach. I would have been winging it with all the little bits, trying to build them up. Well done!

[@MoniqueAO888]

Well, your videos and projects are always great, because every time you put your heart and your soul in it...that makes you really different to other DIYers !!! 💚💚💚

[@riannedeboer2156]

I love how your junkyard dog turned out ^^! For me, it also gives a bit 'Witcher medallion' vibes.

[@TamarLitvot]

Incredible success! I was blown away just by the nose and am truly stunned by the whole project. Congratulations! And while your sculpture doesn't have the soft lovingness of actual Kenobi (welded metal so of course it doesn't), it still captures his shape and is far friendlier looking than I expected. And lighted -- well just wow!

[@lilywhite4044]

19:40 SO funny this song has been stuck in my head and then you go singing it!! 😂

[@lynseysides8643]

Junkyard Kenobi is amazing!

[@dianahenderson]

Your welding skills are better than you give yourself credit for...Very nice job on the sculpture...IMVHO...looks very much like your dog. Well Done!...belongs in an art gallery.

[@JamieJumbles]

You are an amazing woman!! You can do anything Danie ! What a fabulous way to practice but my goodness- that was ambitious!!

[@heatherreddish9286]

It turned out beautifully!! I couldn’t do that, maybe out of plaster of Paris , popsicle sticks and glue. 😂 You are amazing, Danie! Keep growing your skills!! May God bless you in all you do.

[@katieallen3927]

One of my favorite metal artists is Joshua Alexander, he's on KZbin. This is just as good as his.

[@genevievemurray7743]

Artistically rough (ruff?) and undeniably a dog. Love it, 😊 well named, well done.

[@cyclenora]

[@judithcjames5316]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Junkyard Dog is great. When there are variances that is what makes it wonderful and fully LOVED!

[@tammyelkins8511]

I didn't have time to read every comment, but in case it hasn't been said; imho you should put a picture of Kenobi on the back of the butcher block. I think in the future it will be sweet to have his 'bio' and pic on the back :D.....or even mounted on a plaque next to the art like you would see in a gallery! Long time lurker and big fan. Love what y'all are doin here.

[@dusiiaczek]

Oh Danie I now realized how good your description is!! ❤

[@valeriescull2076]

[@jillcochran9794]

[@nilakshiroy6]

This is great Danie! You conquered your demon and instead of just “feel good” you did “weld good”, and that’s Kenobeautiful!

[@suzannebeyer5369]

That is an amazing first welding art project. And I can’t believe we haven’t had a Kenobi Boop before now. That was the cutest!!

[@cblaney3931]

Best. Boop. Ever! ❤ Fast forwarded to the end to avoid the flashy lights (welding and metal cutting). Great job. 👍 Some kind of warning about the flashing would be great.

[@maritzacintron5803]

Wow, you are so talented, determined woman!!!🤩

[@paulas_lens]

Garden sculpture for the garden!

[@katiesullivan8566]

Like so many creatives, you are far too hard on yourself. Add to that the pressure of filming the process while trying to entertain your viewers and you have a perfect recipe for sucking the joy out of your work. I feel for you, sweetie! Remembering, we're all rooting for you, we love you and you inspire us. Try to relax a little, okay? You're doing great and I can't wait to see what you get up to next time. And, by the way, great job on the Junkyard Dog!

[@asblinda]

Love the metal Kenobi. You can do anything.

[@JlNXED]

Would be so cool to do a whole series of these and have a wall of them in your finished garage space, maybe even full mini figurines for the top of shelf’s and desks

[@high5times10]

It was so fun to watch you tackle this art piece. I know nothing about welding and will never do it, so it is fun to watch how it can be done❤

[@OSUmOmx2]

Junkyard kenobi looks great!!
