FOUND METAL EAGLE SCULPTURE

 During my senior year of high school in 2004, my parents and I spent eight long months scrounging through local dump sights, and scrap yards, finding metal to weld onto this eagle sculpture. As we worked it slowly kept growing from its original four foot tall design to a monstrous eight feet tall, with a twenty one foot wing span, and probably weigh just under two tons.
  Here is a picture of the eagle out front of my high school where it was on display for nearly five years.

  $25,000 shipping- hope you have a big truck.

SCRAP METAL FACE SCULPTURE

   When I was twelve years old I make my first scrap metal artwork. I would hold random pieces of metal where i wanted and my Dad would weld them in place for me. Recently I took some scrap metal pieces and made a new sculpture, styled after those early ones.
  $24.99 shipping included


STRAIGHTEDGE RAZOR BOOT KNIFE


  This boot knife is made from the blade of an antique shaving razor that i set in a custom bronze handle. 
  To make a sheath for it, I riveted layers of leather together and fastened it to my boot.
  This piece was made almost two years ago. At the time I was welding and tooling sculptures for a local bronze foundry. 
  $ This is mine, you can't have it.

DIESELPUNK WELDING GOGGLES

Here are a pair welding goggles that are made from silver soldered sections of copper pipe around the lenses, with leather padding side blinders. Custom bronze adjustment buckles, and strap.
I'm influenced by all kinds of different things, and take bits and pieces and make them my own ideas.
