Singer Bob Dylan Sparks Interest in Welding, Inspired by His Childhood Old gardening tools, horseshoes, chains, and vintage metal scraps are some of the materials that have been welded together by American singer and songwriter Bob Dylan. The 79-year-old – widely regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time – has once again proven that age is no barrier, as he welds his own metal sculptures in his Los Angeles workshop. Dylan has strong links to iron and metalworks, after growing up in Minnesota’s ‘Iron Range’. In 2013, his welded gates collection was put on display at the London Halcyon Gallery for a free public exhibition.
