Fergal Sharky

This shark (Christened Fergal!) was made from sheet steel. Fergal himself was then sandblasted to make him look a bit different. You can see from the pictures that all 3 fish are three dimensional. The smaller ones from 2 sides welded together and Fergal from 2 sides and a top. The smaller fish were tickled with a grinder to give them an interesting texture. The reeds were attacked with the welder to give them the holes and rough surface finish. A piece of steel rod holds the reeds and also holds Fergal up. 

A small sign in the bottom of the sea was made specifically for the customer with punched writing on it. It is approximately 500mm high and 250mm wide, except Fergal sticks out the ends. The whole thing has been lacquered to stop it from rusting. The variations on this theme are endless and the price would be worked out dictated by what was required and how long it would take to make.
