Putting junk together

[Whiskeymike]

Where do you find your bearings?

I have no imagination and therefore love looking at your projects. I may try to do some little things in the future and I hope they turn out half as well as your. My wife would thank you if I could make just one or two pieces of lawn art.

My imagination only starts working once I lay out some "junk" on the table and move it around, when it starts to resemble something I weld it together. Poke around Pinterest searching metal art for inspiration. Your wife will thank you

And my bearings come from a neighbor who works at a printing company and they are on a continuous maintenance schedule on all the printing presses. These machines run 24/7 so they go through bearings rapidly.

I'll say up front that I completely ripped this idea off from an earlier post, but here's my version of a scrap metal motorcycle.

Well, NeverAgain and I are on the opposite ends of this. I think you have an eye for putting this art together, keep it up. Looks badass, and a load of fun.

Need the ubiquitous Coke can for scale....

Mine is really basic. Looked for a use for a section of 49 GMC panel.
Not as interesting as most posted here.

High top bar table for a returning customer, he ordered this round piece and another square. The round will have a large truck cam shaft leg and the crank will be used as the leg for the square version.

Anybody ever make any steampunk lights?

Sort of, not fully steampunk as these.

High top bar table for a customer. 43" tall using a cam shaft from a 14 ltr Cummins, which had to be shortened by the way. A 14" ring gear, from an unknown source, as the base. 18" diameter top from many sources

I love that table top! Very industrial looking....

Must be a Jeep thing

Indeed...

I may have to make one of those. That's pretty sweet.

Love it! I look at a pile of scrap and see just that, you look at it and see Art. That my friend is a Gift.

Here is a custom ordered two wheel cart I just finished today. The gentleman who polished my concrete floor (see thread about 41 yards of jacked up concrete) needed a special cart to haul his floor grinders up and down stairs. He was in my shop and seen my "Paul Bunyon" cart and gave me a list of his needs and CFW made it happen.

This guy has some real talent. This brought $905 on E-bay, his other stuff brings nice money also.

Very nice. I really like that. And what would this artist's eBay moniker be?

A couple of these 7 slot grills are headed to Jeep Beach in Daytona in a couple weeks. They will be in the My Top booth as raffle prizes, if you are headed to Jeep beach let me know if you laid on eyes on them.

 

[Whiskeymike]

Those are cool Creative Fab. Wife and I are heading to Jeep Beach. I'll keep an eye out for them.

Wow great work. Loving this thread.

Latest creation to come off my fab table, it was still warm when a customer stopped by and just had to have it.

 

[firemanast]

Great craftsmanship !

"Wrecked" A fresh Tonka Rat Rod wrecker from the fab table here at CFW.

 

[PugetDude]

I have a pile of them behind the shop and leave the valves open (old style) until I am ready to create something, then I shoot them on my rifle range

This thread is worthless without video...

A guest greeter, a customer request piece from 2014. Frog head is made from 2 shovels, legs are trampoline tubes and the tongue and body is farm implement.

It would be a boring video as they only roll over from the impact. I know, no fun right...lol

Very good work! The wife has been after me for years to clean up the scrap pile and try this type of thing, you have convinced me to try it out.

With the amount of scrap still left in "The Library of Mechanical Solutions", I should have a lifetime supply

Fair warning to your wife, you may be having so much fun welding junk together that she may not see much of you

I dig them all but I must say the rat rods are my fave !!
