What is your greatest artistic achievement that doesn't fall under what most people would think of when they hear the word "art"? (lemmy.ml)

For example, I spent a whole April Fool's Day once larping as someone from the first century, which wouldn't be outside a mobile form of performance art.

As a welder, much of my work straddles the line between art and mass production. I've made many, many beautiful welds that will never been seen by another person for at least the next 20 years, if ever. Some of the best that come to mind are stainless steel welds on industrial equipment that get buried under paint or insulation. I spent 3 years welding parts for US battleships and Navy cruisers as well as the occasional weird airforce part. Most of those welds will never been seen by living people after leaving my old shop.
