MAN OF STEEL
I fuse bits of metal together
A sculptor of steel
Inanimate iron
Comes alive in my hands.
Angle-irons, flats,round bars
Are my materials
I heat them, bend them,
Shape them and weld them
I can make anything with steel;
A strong frame
That will hold a skyscraper
Erect,
A steel hull
That can ride the weaves.
I can even make a fancy flower-pot stand.
I like the contrasting suggestions in these lines Tom: skyscraper, ship … flower pot stand!

I was a welder for most of my working life, John, and I worked in all three spheres. Glad you liked it.
