Another One of My Hobbies
One of my other hobbies other than classic cars has been creating stuff in my workshop to stay busy. Mainly funky birdhouses, and recently I got into creating robot like figures out of repurposed junk I pick up.
YES, some old auto parts were used on some of these. ***WARNING - Not for the weak at heart*** Enjoy. |

And more.
A Rambler radio head, and a 57 Chevy radio head. Both were $5.00 at a yard sale. |

Re: Another One of My Hobbies
I like them. For more inspirations google images for 'auto part art' . Hmmm, I wonder what's possible using mushroom valves, split valve guides and a helmet distributor? Jack E/NJ

Re: Another One of My Hobbies
well i got a couple pics of my dummy's for y'all today, not too good but i hate to move them as they are showing they're age and falling apart like most of us. the poor folks have been riding in this jeep for about 15 years now, the gal driving, must be feeling like its been a long drive, are we there yet? not really all hospital junk, i see some common household stuff too. my neighbor actually rescued them out of a dumpster and then left them outside to die, so i brought them home. they need some help, not sure if medicare would take em.

They look a little 'iron deficient' otherwise, pretty cute. . .

Re: Another One of My Hobbies
During this lock down, my mate created this "mincer". You just add whole Spanners, turn the handle and out comes minced Spanners. Very neat. |
