You mean theres $$ involved? How much does a Head Distributor rake in on such a scheme? I'll PM you. Pies are too fragile. We used to throw dirt clods for distance, and sometimes at each other. Made with 100% Natural Ingredients! Gettem While Their Hot!!!

No conflict. Great Caesers Ghost! Go for the ground floor my friend. I can pick up manure knicknacks anywhere. FYI its more like PLOP vs SWAP. Gotta go, Gunsmokes coming on.

Glue some up in the shape of a moose. Picture or it didn't happen..... Perhaps we can swap nuggets. I have Holstien. I would probably look funny wearing those earings around but I would do it just for you. In case anybody asks, do you take orders these days?

I think I would pay cash money to see a moose nugget sculpture. Never seen one of those..... This is when inspirational things happen. Scott

Foaming......

Was that a bad word? I try to keep within the decorum of the forum so to speak. http://sofk9memorial.com/

USN 85-89. Fun times in the North Atlantic. Shiver me xxxxxx timbers.....

Ausfire, that is a pleasing work of functional art. You blend wood and metal nicely. I imagine many a weary traveler/tourist will ease their eye on it. Maybe rest other body parts as well? I grew up in a tiny whistle stop town. They are currently moving the depot/station to a new location to save it so there are some left who care. Its up on blocks waiting for the flatbed. I remember as a young boy climbing around on the boxcars on the siding for fun... Let a kid try that today....

Thank you. I used Gorilla glue, but just a spot to avoid the yellow blob that always seems to materialize after it starts to dry. I suspect it might not have been clean enough as you suggest. I like the idea of tinning it, that never occured to me. I may try JB Weld as well, it may blend in nicely. My friend said just a few strands came off at first, then it all went. Happens to us all, I guess.

I made this small figure for a friend that heads up a group of fellows that do historical re-enactments for a local festival. It was also an experiment using steel wool in my work. Welding it on was frustrating (8-)) so I used glue and unfortunately the hair, beard and mustache all fell off. Never experiment with a gift.

And for good reason. It looks as though the bar on the bottom of the beak is offset on the "mouth" end, to the nut and casting. Its seems centered on the "head" end. Clue? Idk. The "eye" is probably for a bolt to hold the thing tight on a shaft. Confused yet? So am I.... I can tell you what it is. Its the head to another fine pelican!

That beak looks like a missing spark advance linkage mechanism for my Hupmobile. If you have another, I would be glad to pay shipping.... Nice Pelican!

I dont care to post twice but a thought occured to me (usually a red flag). You picked a fine subject for your piece in these troublesome times.

Depositing old wrenches and ball bearings sounds like mighty painful labor to me.

Your work is very pleasing to the eye.

It does look like it could be a far flung member of the cuckoo family.

Bigb, when you cant see the floor or the walls through the flotsam and debris you need help. You are on your way though. Strange indeed. The cog was on the end of a large screw conveyor. I had an old pull type roadgrader that I looked at out of the corner of my eye every time I passed by it. A treasure trove for a scrap artist. I never could cannablize it. Your cleat and weights, as well as how they got there are intriguing, I have a theory but its not complete.

Thank you CGL aka CCL. I love alter egos. Gotta keepem separated. ;-). Pnut, Das is a master of his craft and I have drawn inspiration from his work. So much talent on these forums... Thank you. Bingo! I have not toiled in vain. However.... I have a charming little cutie chicken in the works to balance things out. Old Crew, a well done says it all! My lips are sealed, but Im thinking Im not the one that would be dealing with THAT disturbance! Scott

There are those who do not understand why I could not part with a 4' chain sprocket. I

This emerged from my scrap heap. I see many fine bird sculptures here, I hope there is room for another. It reminds me of some Rhode Island Reds I raised once. They were mean and ultimately tough to eat.

Keep one eye peeled for potential usable scrap and one eye open for utter junk (yes....there is such a thing) that has to go. Try to use the same eye for the same thing or you will get headaches and may walk crooked. Keep the scrap under contol and call for an intervention if necessary. I had to sell the farm and learned an important lesson. Its easier to accumulate over years than de-junk in a mad rush 8-). I have not visited the site in a long time due to odd circumstances but looked in and realized how much I missed it. Scott

Allllllllll abooooaaarrrrdddd! Next stop, China....

Surely you jest! I should have had my ducks in a row when I asked my question. Learning experience... Every body tunes in when Frosty message comes through the hemisphere and lands here!

Pitfalls. We all wander into them and some are bigger than others. Just cant leave well enough alone... Hindsight =20/20

Ausfire, those are some fantastic lizards. I like the tails and the feet. Mabey you could have each shifty lizard with one end of the frog in its mouth, scrapping it out for their lunch! I'd ask you about that table but it may have been posted before, or I might lead the thread off into the cosmos... Scott.
