In a rolling mill shed at the old LTV site in Hazelwood, people are once again working with steel. They're members of the Industrial Arts Co-op, and they're using structural steel I beams and other pieces of steel from the surrounding industrial landscape to build an enormous sculpture reflecting the Pittsburgh area's legendary connection to large-scale steel production. The sculpture has two main elements -- a hot metal ladel and two representations of steelworkers. When finished, it will be placed on the newly developed Southside Riverfront Park and Trail. The co-op would like to have the piece installed in the fall so it can be part of the city's 250th anniversary celebration. Attaching the head to one of the figures on a recent Friday were Tim Kaulen (on ground), Brandon Barber (standing on figure's arm) and Corey Lyons.
