Eighteen-year-old Arizona entrepreneur Anthony Donno is taking the welding game by storm creating art furniture using vintage pickup and car parts.

As a boy, Anthony would visit his dad's body shop wanting to build something as a way to feel included and be just like "one of the boys." After some basic instruction, his dad gave Anthony some scrap metal to practice with, along with the message, "See what you can come up with." He took the challenge head-on!

Anthony developed a love of history and antiques, and drew ideas from his grandfather, dad, and brother. Their combined interest in vintage automobiles inspired Anthony to enhance rather than change. Many of his exclusive creations feature original pinstriping and rusted areas that are preserved with clear coat finishes.
