Nice. I wish I had a welding machine (and skills to use it).

EDIT: or wait, are these actually soldered together?

Pwnator · « **Reply #441 on:** September 28, 2010, 03:05:39 AM »

I can't even see where the soldered locations are. If they're that thin, can it even hold up a metal chain? o_O

Always loved your metal art, SpyGuy.

Yeah, it's pretty cool stuff.

NFX: I actually did have a big scorpion I bult (about a foot long, with needlenose pliers for the pincers), but it got sold last year at the Tucson Gem Show, along with some of my other stuff. I'll see if I can find a picture of it for you, though.

Serge: I picked up a 90-amp 110v MIG welder from Harbor Freight, taught myself how to weld. It's really easy with the wirefeed MIG - just point and shoot. With some practice, you can be welding in about half an hour.

Pwnator: You're just not looking hard enough. The snake was made from a twisted dog leash, with a working rattle on his tail. The minibike is made from tire irons and 1/4" plate, running a 47cc pocketbike engine with 4" goped wheels. That spider? That's a 2" trailer hitch ball for the body, and bicycle axles for the legs. The Terminator hand is 6" bolts cut to fit. The rose is made from tablespoons, the stem is the top bar from a hanging file rack, and the leaves are the handles from the spoons. (It also weighs about a pound and a half .... and I was bright enough to give this to my girlfriend????

) The "brass knuckles" are actually four box-ends I cut from various wrenches and welded together to make a front fender for one of my bikes. Another good reason why you can't see most of the welds - paint covers a multitude of sins ....

Kill343gs and naryar: Thanks! I really enjoy doing it. I used to draw a lot, but somehow pen and ink wasn't just ... physical enough.

Daddy's 900 miles away, and I got these at a junk store for $.50 each .....

If you guys are interested, I can post a link to my PhotoBucket page with (almost) everything I've built so far. There's a few things I haven't taken pictures or uploaded yet, but those will be up soon.

Thank you, my good man.

I drew some stuff at school, but I can't scan them because my computer doesn't have a printer hooked up to it... Oh well.

So, A printer scans and a scanner prints? :P

JoeBlo · « **Reply #453 on:** October 07, 2010, 09:53:47 PM »

my printer scans and prints

Same. But it's terrible.

Just in time for Halloween .... da Great Punkin!

Eat yer heart out, Charlie Brown .....

(Approximately 20-30 bicycle rims were used during construction - that's a 20" bicycle rim leaning against the cactus, by the way. The pumpkin has been painted since these pictures, but I need to redo the paint job as it didn't come out the way I wanted it. )

VICTORY.

You should put something like a miner's lantern in the middle of it and have it out at night.

Now that pumpkin looks sick. I personally prefer the metallic look over a colored paint.

Draw a fan art for an anime that came out over a decade ago. My guess is most of you haven't watch this.

frezal · « **Reply #458 on:** October 11, 2010, 07:03:56 PM »

Some red LEDs for the pumpkin would be cool.

I don't know what the original animu looked like, but that drawring looks quite fantastic. A+.
