Wood Engine Carvings

We thought these carvings of engines were amazing. They were at a truck show we went to last month in Ballston Spa, NY.

Scrap Metal Rocket Sculpture

This rocket is made completely out of scrap metal. It stands about 17 feet tall. The very top is a scuba tank. The next is a helium tank that you get to blow up balloons for a party. Next are four old hot water tanks. The very bottom is an upside down old wash tub, and the fins are cut from sides of an old heater. The support legs are from steel that Eddie obtained from the trash when the welding shop he worked for 9 years ago went out of business. The gray paint came from the same welding shop and has been stored for 9 years. This took Eddie one week to make. He is still going to add details such as stenciled letters and numbers, a US Flag decal and possibly some metal "flames" coming from the bottom. He had fun making it and loved the fact that he was using scraps.

"Abscrapture"

"Abscrapture"

This is an abstract scrap sculpture that Eddie made with pieces of metal that were cluttering the garage floor. It stands approximately three feet tall and makes a nice addition to our metal yard art. It is unfinished and will obtain a natural rust finish over time. He has many more pieces of scrap metal left over from making our metal products. The problem is that I love the things he makes and I never want him to try to sell them. Maybe if he makes more I will just pick my favorite and let him sell the others...maybe!
