In these salvage yards old car bodies are picked up by a crane with huge claws which quickly crunch them to about one third their original size as they are lifted into another powerful machine which further crushes them into a large cube. Voila’ - more "found steel" for my sculptures! With an oxy-acetylene torch, crow bars, and other cutting tools I separate these crushed and bent pieces of found steel so I can bend them into the shape I want and weld them together to make my sculptures. © Bill Drum, December 2003
