Crafting a Rustic Bigfoot Yard Display with Plasma Cutter and Acid Treatment

Recently, I came across an interesting video on YouTube by the channel DIYTechnician. The video is titled "I Found BIGFOOT!! DIY Plasma Cutting & Welding a Seven Foot Bigfoot [SASQUATCH Fabrication Tutorial]." In the video, the creator shows us how they made a life-sized Bigfoot out of metal, using a plasma cutter and welder. The creator starts by laying out a 16-gauge plate in the most efficient way possible, trying to use as much of the metal as they can without wasting any. They then trace the outline of Bigfoot onto the metal using cardboard cutouts. The plasma cutter is set to 30-35 amps, allowing for a quick and precise cut. Once the metal Bigfoot is cut out, the creator uses a grinder to smooth out any rough edges and remove any paint. This is an important step, as the paint can prevent the metal from rusting properly. The creator then reinforces the metal Bigfoot with rebar, making sure to weld it in place securely. The next step is to rust the metal Bigfoot, giving it a more authentic look. To do this, the creator dips the metal Bigfoot into a mixture of muriatic acid and water. This allows the metal to rust faster, giving it a more realistic appearance. The creator then lets the metal Bigfoot sit in the mixture for about a day before placing it in the yard on the grass. The grass makes fun patterns on the metal, adding to the overall effect. The creator also made a second, six-foot Bigfoot, which is designed to come apart for a scene. This Bigfoot is also made from metal and has been rusted using the same process. Overall, this video is a fascinating look at how someone can create a life-sized Bigfoot using basic welding and plasma cutting techniques. If you're interested in metalworking, welding, or just want to see how someone made a metal Bigfoot, I highly recommend checking out this video. It's a great example of DIY fabrication and creativity. It's important to note that the creator of the video is not claiming that this is a real Bigfoot, but rather a metal sculpture of one. At Squatchable, we respect all opinions and ideas, and we encourage our readers to watch the video and form their own opinions. Who knows, maybe this video will inspire you to create your own metal Bigfoot sculpture!
