GARAGE ART: What'd you build?

neat!

 

sweet!

 

Went thru the whole thread guy's and can see we got lot's and lot's of talent and wild ideas, my hat's off to all of you....great thread!

 

@Racer32- that's sweet man.

 

I like to get a bigger picture of this.. This gives me some ideas!!lol

 

it hangs on the wall now.

 

haha! Too subtle! Headlights + arms + torso = female reproductive system. Love it! Great handIwork, too.

 

I don't know what it is about this piece that catches my eye, it's not as intricate as some of the others, but I love it!

Those neon front clips are awesome too!

 

I am a furniture maker .have wood shop in my shop thru this together from some srcap from another project.

 

That model A gauge bezel is a great idea, i have several of them

 

I really enjoyed this build and the great ideas youall have came up with. I made this for my mom for a Christmas present, she's farms goats and loves all thing related to goats. Its made out of parts of a steel 50 gallon drum, nuts, bolts, washers and an old exaust pipe scrap. Enjoy.

 

an oil painting my wife did on a steel canvas that i built about 4+ years ago:





here are a few more:

 

Picked up a traffic light this week it was a $70 CL find. It's about 3 feet tall I wish it was a 4 footer. They just want too much for them. I picked up some flashers on feebay so she will be blinking before too long.



Washed all the dust off the lenses. They are glass & in great shape. Didn't realize they were in the wrong sequence till after I took the picture and my daughter pointed it out to me.



Cleaned it up & threw some paint at it & this is what I had.

 

Just finished my work shop sign, thought this was the best place to post it.

All the finishes are natural for the material. the cross was sand blasted then allowed to lightly rust, the scroll work was heated to red and left to cool, becoming black, and the letters were polished. The brass for the T and brass tapers were heated then scotched back, and the back ground copper sheet was taken from an old water tank, so had plenty of patina all ready, greens and browns and even black. Its all been lacquered to protect it and keep its finish.

Is that light blue? Or is it just the way the light hit it when the picture was taken?

Art comes in many different forms and shapes.

It is always different to each one of us and that is what makes it so COOL!!!!!!!!!!

Just looking at the creative minds that have posted here is proof that there is art in everything in life.

Next time you are out driving around just take a look up at the clouds and ask yourself if you could paint like that?

Because if could you would be a millionaire.

It does look blue but when it lights up is green. Didn't even notice it. I thought maybe it was just the way the picture came out but it looks blue to me just looking at it. That is strange.
