A couple goofy projects

[royce]

I posted these on the general and heating forums and thought maybe they needed posted here for you fabricators to view

That stool is very cool!

 

[RivennHewn]

Kinda a metal version of Surf & Turf.

 

[juiced10]

Awesome. Where is the goofy stuff?

 

[APEowner]

I'm digging the fish stove.

The stool make me wonder what you look like. I'm thinking it has a GVWR of around 8,000 lbs.

 

[Techie1961]

The fish wood-fired heater is awesome. While nautical or fishing isn't my thing, that would definitely be a cool thing to have if you're into it or near a lake.

 

[jimgood]

Both incredible projects! Nice work.

Damn...that fish woodburner is great!!! It sort of reminds me of something that Jules Verne would have on his sub. Does it give heat from all over the housing of the fish? If it does, that is some good utilization of what you could say, an extra heat source. Can you put a thermometer alongside the lowest point of the head and tallest point of the tail and take a reading as to the temperature difference than from the middle? I wonder how much more heat you would get in the garage if you put a fan in a portion of the tail. You might get more heat with using less wood.

 

[Gator-J]

That fish is sweet! How big is it, 10'+?

 

[fnieto]

I like them both!

 

[Richard Cranium]

I like them both, I am guessing that the fish is welded around the wood stove, or is the whole fish the fire box?

 

[Two Door]

I'm guessing that with all that heavy plate down low, that stool doesn't tilt, or wobble....

Not goofy? Let's try this one!
Hat, coat, boot, mitten drying rack

I'm a petite 6'-2" 250# and extremely handsome!

Yes, it radiates heat nose to tail.
I have not checked stack temps, but feel i could probably rob more heat without
creating much creosote

Good guess, 10'6"

Yes, the firebox welded to backside of the fish,but the flue run down into the snout and then the flue gas travels up through the body over and under the firebox and out the tail.
There is also a bypass to help get a draft started.
Maybe a couple pics will help explain it.

Really stable and doubles as a infeed and outfeed roller

One last reply for the night.
Thanks to all for the compliments and I really enjoy sharing these projects.
I've gotten a lot of ideas through the years studying others work, maybe some of
this could help spark a idea.

Impressive work. Are these for clients or for your self?
None the less very creative and well done.

We see how much it is getting used ;p!

Love the fish wood stove - just awesome!

Thanks,
The stool and stove went to my shop.
The drying rack was a gift to my youngest daughter and her brood.
The same daughter goaded me into building the fish stove

Awesome!

(At first I thought it was weird, but then I saw that you were in FBKS, and it all made sense)

 

[KMinAF]

I hope there is more to come!

 

[Model A Fan]

Wow, that fish stove is amazing. I would love one of those for my shops! I may have to steal some design ideas from it for when I "attempt" to replicate it! Nice work. I love it.

 

[j p smith]

You sir are awesome, but I worry that you have way too much spare time. Very nice work!!

 

[NUTTSGT]

Nice projects and thanks for more pics of the fish stove.

I'd take it you plenty of shop time when there is little daylight ?

 

[royce]

I hope there is more to come!

How about a steel and brass log piggy bank?

I'm thinking that everything we create is directly related to everything we see and how we perceive it, so feel free to steal all you can carry!

That makes me grin, a buddy of mine always tells me I got to much time on my hands and I have to remind him that we all start with the same 24 hours each day. I guess it's all in how we choose to burn it up.

You got that right, but were gaining now.

After 30 some winters here, I question my sanity more and more each winter.
Then spring comes around and I seem to forget.
Senility perhaps?

[cwh]

Not senility, honesty!

Joking, of course. I love FBKS, but don't know if I'm tough enough for the winters. Especially 30 of them.

Awesome stuff man. The log/piggy bank is fantastic, just like the others. Do you have any other pictures of it?

Here is one more pic of the log bank and one of a coffee table constructed using
similar technique.

How about a nutcracker?

4' tall functioning copper and steel nutcracker

I bet that was a labor of love. Looks fantastic and very awesome.
