Is this blacksmithing, or metal art? On his gallery page, I see that he's making metal sculptures. In the article, it talks about him making decorative art, and turning gun barrels into shovels (which seems like a form of artistic statement, albeit one that produces a functional object). Not trying to be a gatekeeper here, but I think of blacksmiths as making small household objects like horsehoes and nails, but what I have seen this guy doing as being more about sculpture. Relevant because of the headline.
