Fun With Scrap 2.0
Of course when i should be doing one thing , the "bug" hits me .. Just that small idea and feeling to create. To build something from nothing using , in my case reclaimed cutlery.
Just some old spoons and forks.
Trimmed the handles off with a 4.5inch grinder and a 1/8th cutting wheel.
Ready to shape.
Front legs bent and welded.
And more legs....
How many legs ?
Welding each leg after bending by hand. Then adjusting each leg.
Welding the abdomen, she is starting to come together.
What EVERY spider needs.... FANGS ....
Last but not least ... EYES to see prey.
This new little guy was made for someone who has a thing for spiders. Its awaiting a new home and a name.
All the cutlery was reclaimed , hand bent and welded with a Lincoln wire feed welder.
If you enjoy my work , please .....
Dude this is an awesome Spider! I love these little guys!
You should try using a landscape pic as your first pic in steemit blogs, otherwise it get's cut off by the thumbnail size or something. Also show us the spider in the thumbnail. I feel like more ppl would want to see this had they know it wasn't a bunch of old spoons lol ;)
Another idea is to make a dtube video of you doing one of these or a welding porject and just speed it up or make it less than 5 minutes etc.
You could probably start doing a dope welding series or something like that "Metal Works on the Steemit Blockchain"
I see what you are saying. Makes total sense. A short video would be great. I'll need to set up a stand for my phone and then just do some basic editing. Thanks for the input. Always appreciated.
Ya man i think that’d be huge.
Especially if u start a dtube series of sorts.
I still think “Metal works on the Steem Blockchain” or something along thoae lines would be a good title.
Particularly adding the “on the steem blockchain part” mite yeild some results
You are welcome to introduce your spider into the Steemit Art Gallery !
