I like those

If you are ever out my way, I'll hook you up with some ring and pinions
I can probably donate some carriers to the cause also

That would be great! I need to get out your way to drop off those 8.8 shafts for Scott. (plus I'd like to wheel with you)

Let's hook up and do some JV or Calico fun. I have at least 4 r and p's if not more and 2 carriers have a dana 44 axle shaft that doesn't do me much good either

This roadrunner is gonna be donated to raise money for my kids school dist. at a silent auction next month.





Not sure what the head piece came off of. It has a SKF P/N, my Dad gave it to me.



I like the Yamaha wrench. The R/P is off a Toyota so I thought it was fitting.
I used a white crayon to highlight my name. Turn out pretty good.

So what do you do with a post hole digger that you found on the side of the freeway? (not sure if picking it up makes me a redneck or just white trash)







Nothing like a dragonfly sparkbug to fill up your belly that's not there.

I may end up sending you some junk, ring and pinion out of a 44 if you want, just to get it out of my garage...but you gotta show me what you make out of it

  No problemo! PM me with a list of "art supplies" when you get some gathered up. Thanks for thinking of me!

I haven't looked thru the entire thread, but do you sell this stuff? You should open an online store. All of your creations are amazing.

Thanks for the complements! 
I have sold a few things. I have donated a few things. Some projects were for family's birthday gifts. Somethings I have built just to build, not sure where they will end up.
I tossed around the idea of building up some finished projects a bringing them to a local art fair. That way I wouldn't have to worry about shipping. They get heavy in a hurry. Plus seeing them in person is way better than online.

I have been planning on doing some Roosters. I bought a bunch of stuff off of ebay I thought would make some interesting birds. Plus some stuff from the hardware store.




Legs are kinda skinny but he's not for eating  . His thighs are some oil pump gears. I got a whole bunch from a guy up the street. They are brand new. I had a hard time welding them since they had oil on them. Once I hit them with the welder oil would come out of the pores of the metal. I tried some brake cleaner but no luck. So I tossed them in the BBQ for a bit. Seem to work. Still not happy with the way the welds look



It's about a life size bird.


Normally I don't like any color but this one seemed to need a bit. I like the "Made in USA" on the pruning shears.

Made a business card holder. Now I just need to make some business cards. 


This cow was fun. Went pretty fast which is always nice.




Just had to put a udder on. I thought about putting some teets on but got lazy.

Here is Rex the wonder Rooster.

I donated this to my nieces school fund raising auction. It sold for $75.00.
The Roadrunner auction is this Saturday for my kids school district.
