GARAGE ART: What'd you build?

Damn.... This thread just gives me way too many ideas, especially with a grandson who is about to turn two.

I have a friend on myspace that does some great work and he sells it too, if you want to see some check him out here. http://www.myspace.com/myfunart

 

i thing or two

 

maybe two more

 

Just a little garage in my house.

 

I made one hell of a mess, does that count?

 

is this grill as good as it looks on here? my Dad could use a nice 55 grill...lol

 

yeah, I do have a pretty cool desk!!

 

thanks Chad

 

My daughter made this when she was 7 years old. (My avatar is a photo of her building it) I cut out the little figures and she welded them on...I described to her what she would see as soon as she pulled the trigger and she welded the **** out of it......it shows kind of a base jumping theme. That round , domed deal is a worn out plow disc.

 

the headlights are original model A buckets. but i had to improvise on the rest. inside they are stainless steel dog dishes, with a ring of neon inside. the lenses are plexigl*** with silver 1/8" pinstriping to replicate the original gl*** "gridwork",,, finally trimmed out with chrome jewelite.(used in the sign industry)

thanks for all the kind words guys!

 

heres another recent project i did for a customer. its an 1932 fibergl*** "low boy" grille shell, thats not been cut out, and painted all black. with ford emblem, and a neon V8 logo on the face.

 

Some great stuff here, you guys should post in the Friday art show!

Badd ***! I bet you could hit 4th gear in that sum*****!

 

Need that Desk and the Lil' Dog too.....
All Great stuff !...

 

That is awesome! What a great thread!

Thanks for all the photos, much appreciated. Will come in handy when the time comes. I do have to come up with a way to securely anchor it to the wall as I'm not going to drill holes into my brand new hardwood floor. Plaster can be repaired a whole lot easier then wood.

 

I think I just found a new idea for my guest room bed.....gotta make sure Megan likes it first though.

 

I LOVE it! I was just about to post how much I liked it when you posted wondering if I liked it!

This is great stuff! Fun to see how creative you all are!

 

Sure wouldn't want to crash it with that bar above your shins. Probably a good thing it's in the garage. Looks like fun though....

 

I took an old antenna and turned into a coat hanger.

 

Ideas I've been capturing off the internet and saving.

This is one of my favorites and will happen as soon as my new kitchen is done


Another idea high on my favorite list and will happen soon






















Megan, you know that old metal desk you have in your living room?? We need to do this to it

 

Crazy! I did just the opposite!

 

I host an occasional Art Bash out in my shop with some buddies, beer, and miscellaneous parts. I built this outta some Chevy 292 rods and pistons, a couple of random gears, and a cutout from my Offy aluminum intake manifold. Now above the mantle of my fireplace.

 

Not mine...but a buddy's from the first Art Bash. Now hanging on a wall in his new abode.

 

Great memory, and a perfect thread to post the link in. Worth looking at once a person gets thru the dribble at the begining.
