If you’ve never heard of #ScrapFest in Lansing, MI, imagine a wild mashup of welding, art, and a reality TV-style time crunch — except no one gets voted off the island, and everyone leaves with a little more rust on their boots.

Sharing where I’m at with my #Scrapfest sculpture. Just a little sneak peek. Still have so much more to do and time is slowly slipping away. #jonnysweld #scrapfest15 #teamesab #edgearmy
🎨🛠️ ScrapFest progress update!
This build is about 50% done and there’s still a long way to go—but I wanted to give you all a little sneak peek into what’s coming together. No finished design reveals yet… just some close-ups.

#ScrapFest Collection Day wouldn’t be complete without running into good friends and fellow artists like #stalartist. 🤘 Always great catching up, swapping ideas, and talking shop. Can’t wait to see what Andrew puts together this year for his ScrapFest #sculpture... this dude always brings the heat!🔥
Wrapped up a solid day at ScrapFest collection. The pile is picked and the ideas are already flying. Can’t wait to see what everyone else creates, and I’m hyped to start shaping my own sculpture out of this year’s haul. Let’s do this! ⚙️🔥

Rolling into ScrapFest like… ♻️🔥
Spent the day at Friedland Industries in Old Town Lansing loading up scrap for this year’s build. The pile’s loaded, the ideas are flowing, and now it’s time to grind, weld, and maybe panic a little. Let’s get weird with some metal! #scrapfest15 #scrapfest #jonnysweld
POV: Artist. #scrapfest #scrapfest15 #jonnysweld
“Welcome to ScrapFest 15” - 5 little words every artists love to hear. Can’t believe we’re already back at the scrapyard and ready to rock n’ roll.

Always love rolling up to Scrapfest collection day with excitement of not knowing what treasure I’ll find.
