The metal flows so smoothly and perfectly over the surface. This is not just the work of a tradesman, but also an artist. The precisely rendered results of great technical skill are beautiful to behold. Scott Raabe, a professional welder in Texas, has this kind of skill.
After graduating from Texas State Technical College 7 years ago, Raabe has been working in both industrial and artistic settings. He can make delicate flowers, vibrant animals, and eye-popping signs.
