Handmade Welding

Handmade gift for husband's birthday?
My husband and I are buying our first house
but his birthday is a few weeks away and I can not spare much if any money to buy him a gift. I really don't want to cook anything for him (he gets this all the time) So I was thinking of building him a metal sculpture (I can weld) or maybe doing some photographes for the new house. Would you guys like something like this for your birthday? Any other ideas?
That sort of gift, for me, means much more than something bought.
One of my most treasured gifts is a handwritten poem from my son which he put in a photo frame.
