Sheet metal Christmas
Nothing says "Spirit of Christmas" quite like the smell of freshly oiled machines and welding smoke. As you gather cozy around the yule log this Christmas season with your socially distanced family you might be thinking what is the cheapest gift I can give to show how much I care about those around me?
Scrap sheet metal Christmas decorations or gifts are a cheap and easy way to say "I care about you this much" to someone that means a lot or a little to you.
Start with your design on paper. Sketch first. Life size to scale template next (hand drawn or CAD). Cut out and use to trace onto material.
Cut, decorate, weld, make awesome.
The below images are just to be used as inspiration. Not all of them are made from sheet metal. Not all of them are even Christmas related. But all would make a good gift, keepsake, or skill building exercise.
If you don't celebrate or believe in Christmas that is okay too. Your non-denominational holiday should still be spent with family or people you can tolerate because that is how life works. Make them (or yourself) something anyways! Use a typical Christmas scene idea and replace the people with dinosaurs
