dangerous fumes are generated during the Arch welding and joining of metals ,Colors and sparks are the attraction in these captures
I think the actual spec was for a 3/16" weld bead, and I think these are slightly on the thick side. But they came out fairly evenly.
This was the first time I had welded box-like plates like this.
Per the NGA Sculpture Garden website:
"David Smith worked as a welder in a car factory as a young man. Later, he emerged as a sculptor within the context of the New York School in the 1940s and 1950s, and applied his industrial skills to his art-making practice. He said of his preferred medium, welded steel: "The metal itself possesses little art history. What associations it possesses are those of this century: power, structure, movement, progress, suspension, brutality."
Smith most often created works in series, culminating in the 1960s with his celebrated 'Cubis' sculptures, his only series made of stainless steel.
After finding it time-consuming to weld his new material, and not getting exactly the results he wanted, he ordered hollow cubic and cylindrical units from Ryerson Steel, a fabricator.
His assistants helped assemble and weld the sculpture, but most of the burnishing was done by the artist himself with the help of just one assistant. "I depend a great deal on the reflective power of light," he said.

5 February 2012. This proposed logging coupe is located in the Weld Valley, southern Tasmania. This forest is part of the core area of 430,000 hectares that was promised protection as part of the Intergovernmental Agreement. Logging operations are scheduled to commence in this forest before the end of February 2012. Photo: Paul Kimbell.
