4 amazing steel sculptures from around the world

Steel is an incredibly versatile material that can be melted and reshaped over and over, recut and remade, whittled, modelled, bevelled and bent.

If you find a piece of sheet metal, think about every useful thing that you could turn that flat piece of steel plate into, if only you had the tools.  Well, at ShapeCut have the metal cutting tools. We can turn that piece of steel into anything.  While making something from metal requires a lot of patience and skills, creating art made from metal and steel, takes time and accuracy.
