KEY WEST, FLORIDA Reuses scrap metal!
ust what can you do with left over metal parts and pieces from an auto repair business? The renowned late artist and sculptor George Carey, found the most creative way to give back to the community with the help of his Key West high school students in his welding class in 1986. Created by the sculptor, George Carey and his students created this outdoor sculpture of this majestic Siberian tiger, formed entirely out of scrap steel began as an emblem of the Glynn Archer School. It currently stands guard today in front of Key West City Hall at the corner of White and United Streets. As I stood courageously beside this majestic creature, I discovered that every part of this sculpture was made from scrap metal, in fact, the tale of the tiger is made from an exhaust pipe! Sculpture of “Buccaneer” created by George Carey’s metal class at Key West High School. J
