Roadrunner









This is my second roadrunner. I like how it turned out just as much if not a bit more than the first one.
This one is sold. It's going to Arizona!

Ladybug



Here is a Ladybug I made for my son. It's a diff cover off a Dana 35 Jeep axle. The spring legs move.

Butterfly



Here is a butterfly I made for my daughter. I had some old shovels laying around. She picked out the colors.

This is one bird that I made using a rock for the body.

Gearhead Astronaut






I made this for my wife for Christmas of 08. It's hard to see in the PICS but it's holding a lit match to light the fuse.

Spark Bugs





These little guy's are a lot of fun! And they don't bite!

Mice




They keep multiplying!!

Fish



They are kinda boney. But they taste good!

Turtle






This was made from a diff cover from a 74 Vega Station Wagon. The legs are some turnbuckles and the head is a hook.

Beagle





This Beagle I made for the kids. Normally I don't like my work to be painted but they wanted it to look like our Beagle,Snoopy. The large spring is from a Jeep TJ,the back legs are pinion gears, the front legs are made from a cam shaft, the head is a carrier from an axle. The tail is a spring, which is fun to "boing"!

Spiders





These spiders are made from spider gears. They like to feed on Spark bugs.

Scrappy The Cat






Scrappy The Cat has no problem mixing it up with the other cats to get a full belly.

Orb Spider










This Orb spider I made from around 300 pieces of various objects. There is bolt heads,screws,U joint,U bolt,nails, wrenches, and springs. The web is made from 26 feet of 3/16 round bar. The grasshopper is made from a spark plug and some nails.
