GARAGE ART: What'd you build?

Here's something I threw together with some inspiration from old alien invasion films. Other than the glass and wiring, this was made with all old car parts.

 

another table I made using sockets, wrenches, valves, springs, saw blades, scissors, nuts, bolts re-bar, engine parts plumbing parts, electrical parts, etc., etc.....and 3 jackstands for a base, pictures taken without 37"glass top...

 

32 roadster yard art

 

That's really cool, Rollie. It reminds me of my garage, only cleaner. Are you going to put a glass top on it? Encase it in resin?

 

That's different I like it. I bet it weighs a bunch.

That's cool.

 

the top weighs 52 lbs. without the glass or jackstands...

 

^^^ I'm sure its all welded together, but I can't see any welds, was it blasted and cleared?.

 

I welded it upside down on a 1/2" plate table, blasted it, then gave it a coat of gun blue, then scotch pad, then satin clear...looks good with the glass but hard to photograph

 

That table is awesome man!

Atomic jet car

 

That Is freaking cool!!!!

 

Very cool!
How about zooming out so we can see the other work of art?!!! I miss your thread since the site changes! Do you have another thread going on anywhere else documenting the build?

 

I was going to make some book shelves out of model t running boards but changed my mind. I made some mounts on the back to hang them off the wall then used a model a headlight bucket for 2 of them and an 8ba conrod and piston for the other 2, i then got some old valves and tig welded them together and added a large and small washer to give it the logo, i also welded another 2 valves so i could have a little shelf. All sprayed in Sir Henrys favorite colour.

 

Next on the list was to make a Claysmith cams sign to go with my Moon eyes sign.
The hardest bit was making the border, a lot of rolling, folding and welding.

 

Nice work 80WTI!

 

those bulbs are awesome. What are they called and where do I get some?

 

Same as the one I used here. "antique style" bulbs, or sometimes called "Edison style" but that really only refers to a specific style and brand

 

cool stuff guys!

 

Home Depot and Lowes carry them.

 

Thats really cool!

 

You and I think alike. Last summer I got a couple of funning boards from GMC Bubba and a couple of weeks ago made a bookshelf outta them and a couple of carved tikis I had in the house.

 

Looks cool Denise. Just don't let Mark Skipper get too close to it or he'll take it home.
