A different kind of present

I always have a tough time finding something for mt brother-in-law for Christmas. he likes strange and unusual things. well this year i got an idea from a pic i saw of a hood ornament made out of codder pins and other bits to look like a skeleton.

Here is what i came up with. Took about 5 or 6 hours to make.




It's just scrap stuff i found lying around TIG welded together, My wife made the book. It came out pretty nice if i say so myself. It was hard giving it up, I wanted to keep it!

My wife thinks i should start making them to sell. If time permits i may but for now this is the only one.

 

Nice, Brother!!!!!!!!!

Nice work!!!! I would have been honored to receive it!!!!!

 

that is freakin' cool what do ya call this piece "the morning ritual"

 

Ah ah ah ah.....This is tooo damn kool bro!
I would have totally loved reciving this thing...it amazes me how patient you are.
I dont Tig, but seems to be pretty hard to do those small soft parts, i would have probably melted thousands b4 the final result!
Bitchin!

Right click and saved of course

 

That is great man. He would have to be reading a rodders journal if he was a hamber though.

 

very cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Way cool. Where did the skull come from? I would have a hard time giving it away also. Gary

 

wow! i want one myself!!

 

handmade is ALWAYS better than store bought. that little guy rules. If you whip up a couple more I'm sure you could use them to fund some parts for your ride.

 

Thats cool,what did you use for making the TP?

 

Way cool. Thanks for sharing.

 

I want one too.. that is badass.. one of these days I'll share my metal sculptures

 

What would a Skeleton have too poop out? There is no digestive system present?

Just Kidding, very cool!

 

Sounds like you would have plenty of customers if you go into production.
Cool.

 

Dude, thats cool as all hell....

The develish dump....I like it....

 

Yea, I want to know where the skull came from too. That is too cool. All I got was socks and coal for xmas!!

 

Yeah cool, is the skull a shiftknob?

 

Thanks guys! the whole thing is just a bit shorter than a beer can so the skull is pretty small. it's actually a key fob i found a Spencers Gifts at my local mall. it's resin but the color was spot on for this little guy. I may try to make my own skull in the future but this one works.

The TP is... well, TP I actually took a bit off the roll in the bathroom, cut a ribbon with a pair of sissors, and rolled it around a paint brush handle, then slid it off. the TP holder is actually 1/8" TIG filler rod.

If i get time down the road i will defiantly make some more. I have quite a few ideas for different "themes". Don't worry, you'all will be first to know.

 

i want one!

 

Great job .It makes me wanna poop. Your skeleton moved me.....

 

now thats thinking outside the box.
very cool dude.

 

Now, i know this is over by some time, but im just back from vacation and checkt the last threads i did write on.....just wanted to add
that the way you made the TP is genius man! i know it sounds kinda funny!
