Daswulf Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 A friend at work that bought a couple all thread snakes asked for a spider to go inbetween the snakes he put on an end table. I decided to try out a glow in the dark paint on it. if he dosnt like it it can be wire wheeled off and clear coated. ( didnt realize it would get a light shade of yellow green but hey, it's an experiment and he is a friend) also another bigger spider that still needs it's legs bent (ran out of Acetylene. ugh), and a cross I started saturday and finished up tonight.

TwistedCustoms Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 That spider is Awesome! If you don't mind me being a copy-cat I would love to make one of those to sit on my forge hearth. Very cool use of materials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ausfire Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 So, Das, you're back on the spiders again! I recall we had a run on them some time ago. I like the poses and the screw fangs. We have funnelweb spiders that stand up like that - front legs in the air. Extremely venomous too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yup Aus. Had a request for a spider and now spiders are coming out of the scrap pile. one in the last pic still needs his legs bent a little but I'm out of acetylene at the moment. Apparently the ribbed nails I used are higher carbon and don't want to bend with pliers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironwolfforgeca Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 That last one could be on Star War's LOL Killer spider ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I worked a decade with a guy from Australia and that one spider would have been worth a severe drubbing about the head and shoulders---he had a very bad incident with a funnel web spider when he was a kid and was still a bit spooked by them 30+ years later...

Daswulf Posted November 16, 2016 Author Share Posted November 16, 2016 My mother is deathly affraid of snakes so I never show her the ones I make. Some people get the willies just looking at a picture on my phone of either the snakes or spiders. I used to be terrified of spiders but have since gotten over my fear.

ThomasPowers Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 My wife is a spinster and so loves spiders, (on our trip to Wales we had to detour to London to see a spider silk cape in a museum...) So I have had to become acclimated to having them around though she will ok extreme prejudice for black widows and brown recluses *IF* they are inside the house. As we have rattlesnakes fairly commonly around here my rasptlesnakes get a reaction if placed where people notice them out the corner of their eye.

CTBlades Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My house don't really mind spiders or snakes. My bride and her youngest no issues but you should see her 18yo 6'7" scream like a little B if a spider shows itself....it's the funniest thing!

Old Timer Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 I love those spiders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Thanks Old Timer. These are something that can be done with some nuts, bolts and nails for the legs. I generally like adding spider gears for the spider abdominal. You should give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
