Desk top art

I'm glad you all enjoy them as much as I do, and I'm sorry, but none are for sale. They're a labor of love and something I enjoy fiddling with, but I really like displaying them on my own shelves. Mark

Awesome!
Even though they are only nuts, bolts and cotter pins, they really convey their thoughts and feelings.
I really don't know how you captured these expressions, but, they really seem emotionally charged, moving.

Love 'em!

Had a little extra time this weekend, so I decided to make another desk top art project. This one I call "Combo Rocker". Hope you enjoy.

HAHA! These are fantastic! Especially your latest one... brilliant.

I REALLY like 'em. Thanks for sharing some pics of each one.

What are you using for the base/floor?
Something you've repurposed? Or
are you making those as well?

One of the local manufacturers had a bin full of scraps they donated to our local schools welding department. There must have been a couple hundred of those disks, so I grabbed a handful, with the schools permission of course.

Here is another one I made for my little brother, who is also my riding partner. it doesn't have any locks or lock theme, but he has a garage full of bicycles and one of his favorites is a fat tire mountain bike. The last couple times we went out trail riding, we spent more time fixing his flats than riding, so I present "Big Fat Flat""

I like the bike one man, 25 years ago when mounting biking started ( ? ) ! We would race thtouhg the city FAST and if some one got a flat from a curb hit we would time how long it took to fix it, new tube or a patch ,, it was kind of fun

Then get chased by the cops, that's when the mountin bike came in

I'm working on another art project now, but not real sure when I'll get it done. My wife just had a total hip replacement, so I'm spending most of my time around home helping her and less time in the shop. I'll post it when I get it done. I'm glad you all enjoy the art. Mark

Here's my version of the Safe Cracker. I used an old padlock, some scrap metal, a couple of kwikset allen wrenches, and an Adams Rite dogging key.

Congratulations from me and my girlfriend. We agree the little men are very expressive. A work of art.

Cheers
