Keep it up, you might actually make some money making those.

Why not make a couple of lamps while you are at it?

Great imagination! Love the use of socket, wrenches, and nuts. U have a great artistic ability. I can kind of grasp the scale of these models... how big are they! Keep up the great work!

Re: Some pieces I made..

@lj408 ..Thanks very much.I dont really have much scale..I would love to say I have them down to scale but i dont,I just imagine how it would look and try to keep it all proportion it as best I can..
Every piece is unique as the models are made from all recycled metal.so i make what i can with whatever random scrap i have lying about the place...
The truck is about 14'' long ,7'' wide.
the chopper 18'' long, 5''wide,7'' high.
the tractor with trailer is around 24''long,10'' high and 9''wide..just to give you an idea..
I should really add a can or something to get a better view of the scale..

Very nice indeed! The rat rod is my favorite, very nice work on all of them though.

Re: Some pieces I made..

Not something I do in my spare time, but I can fully appreciate the effort, and artistic twist in your creations.

You show talent and promise - I am confident that you are able to create items that would be great conversation pieces for your family and friends for years to come.

From my youth, I remember a family friend creating a "man" out of nuts and bolts that held a curved rod with ball bearings at the end. The man stood on a pedestal, and when you laid the man down with his front or back to the pedestal, then let him go, he would rock back and forth for several minutes until the energy dissipated and he came to rest.

It was a wonderful Art Piece and it fascinated me for years - It sparked my curiosity and later led me to learn and understand the Physics behind how it worked.

In any event, please keep it up. I look forward to your future creations.

Have a Good Day

Re: Some pieces I made..

@ Black Wolf..
I didn't expect so much positive feedback ,it is really nice to get appreciated for my work..
I was a plumber but with work being hard here at the minute i struggled to keep myself sane.during the days then i started welding and since then i have enjoyed it so much ,every day is a school day.
I hope to get my papers soon..

Ah that sounds very interesting,i would love to do something like that as well,with a motion.I help my girlfriends father make animated weather vanes which is fun.but haven't tried anything out of metal..
