Kevin Stone is the Michaelangelo of metal, creating sculpture's that literally take on a life of their own. "Power and Authority" (photo left) is one of Stone's 20' high creations. This eagle, hand crafted from surgical grade stainless steel has a 34' wingspan and a hand polished mirror finish. Over 2000 people attending the unveiling of this piece in B.C. Canada when it was finished in 2006. Stone's objective: "Shock and awe artwork. Beauty on a large scale."
What does Kevin use to craft his art? A Dynasty 300 TIGRunner (a 300-amp TIG system with a water-cooler mounted on a cart for mobility; the Dynasty 350 has now superceded this model), a Miller Spectrum® 3080 plasma cutter (which he uses to cut thicker material), a Millermatic® 350P MIG/Pulsed MIG all-in-one welder, a Miller Elite™ auto-darkening helmet and Miller Arc Armor™ TIG gloves.
