Metal Log Ashtray

While I was in Grade 11 at Centennial Senior Secondary School in Coquitlam BC, Canada, I took Metal 11 in 1977. One of the projects was making a metal log ashtray, which, after 49 years, I still have - even though I don't smoke. The other projects included a hammer, a 4-piece fireplace poker set, and a 1-ton manual come-along winch with a steel cable.

The metal log ashtray could be described as a welded metal sculpture; the welds give the metal a tree trunk appearance. I enjoyed the 80-minute 5-month class, but I only achieved a low P (pass) grade.
