That is so cool!!!!
I want to do a human skeleton at some point but I want to do a dragon next if i have not started another tike yet.


My problem is I do not have access to a lot of scrap metal.

 

[MikeyTX]

Time to move ........

Sounds like you oughta move down here near where Gone2Three and I are. I-35 between Dallas and San Antonio have more salvage yards than anywhere else I've been in the country.

:Agree: like Mike said...they are a plentiful

 

[Dave59]

Very impressive!!!! Keep up the good work.

 

[peteg59]

Not my work, but cool...

 

[Fowler]

That is so cool.
That takes a lot of time to do
I wish I had the time, money and scrap to try to build something like that.
I don't know if I could do it or not but I would like to try

I am going to try to do the neck of my dog tomorrow then it will most likely be put on the back burner for a while

Tomorrow afternoon I am going to look at and hopefully buy a donor vehicle for my next trike

Hey Bob, found Y'a a cat to go with your dog looking not as detailed as your work but neat none the less...

 

[Phu Cat]

Fowler that little guy just needs more lovin than you been givin him. Look at him, ya haven't even been feedin the poor pooch enough. How much, I'll take him off your hands and give him all the lovin he can stand and then some. Wife will really like him cuz he won't shed, and I'll bet he'll be easy to house trained too. Whad ya say? Name your price. PM me.

Local HEB ? They've got a bunch of stuff like that at ours in Waxahachie. Ditto the one in Burleson, TX

Thankfully so. From high school cheerleader and prom court to certified honky tonk lizard. Very slippery slope.

I am sorry but I am just not ready to sell them.
To be honest I just build them for fun.
I like building things

maybe in the future when I have more time I will make some to sell

Yeah... that's right! Oh well, we'll chalk that one up to short timers:Shrug: :qpnmt:

 

[Fowler]

worked more on the dog

added front legs and shoulders (shoulders may be a little big)
wrapped the shoulders and the hind end in rebar
Made a neck out of 3/8 rebar (the spine is made out of 1/2)
I am still thinking about how to do the skull. It will come to me eventually
Need to add claws and shape the feet more

Im not sure I like the tail

I would say that is a talent. Having a vision and then transferring it to something is a good thing. Have you thought about doing a rat bike or rod? What kind of welder are you using? Jim

I have some rebar on my trike now http://3fowlers.com/

I have been toying with the idea of adding rebar to the next build but rebar gets heavy when you use a lot of it

I have a 220V Lincon Pro mig 175 welder running Flux core right now because I have not picked up a new bottle
I also have a 110 mig but I have not used it for some time.

I need to get a new bottle before I start my next trike

 

[Fowler]

working on the head.

not to crazy about it

I think the ears are to big but the Ol'Lady likes them.

When she is gone on Saturday I am going to remake them

Need to work in it more

I have hand cut nails I will be using for teeth
