Spitfire Mk IX - 100% reclaimed materials

Just gorgeous. The Spitfires battled the Messerschmitts over my Dad’s home in Canterbury when he was a boy and he still does a great impression of a dog fight in the sky! The music was just right too!

Very impressive, John, your welding skills are super; how you manage not to blow through that thin stainless sheet is quite amazing! You are a true craftsman with inspired vision - well done!

25 years of my life working as a machinist, much of which was working with tolerances of .0005 or less, and I have to say, that is some damn fine work there, brother. Best wishes on making your dream a reality!

[@JohnNorrisMetalSculpture]

Thanks man, very kind. I wish I had your engineering background!

@@JohnNorrisMetalSculpture Interestingly enough, I was a 9th grade drop out. I took a summer job at a friend's dad's place of emplyment, and at the end of summer they asked me to stay on. I was just mechanically inclined, I guess, and I enjoyed the work, so I just kept doing it. Now I'm retired, and sometimes I miss working.

Another masterpiece John I think I will try the P51 Mustang. Has been one of my favorite aircraft from the first time I saw it.
