Raging Bull

Featured Replies

Been making a lot Piggy Banks out of Freon and smog calibration tanks.
Daughter's mother in law wanted a COW for her horse ranch.
Came up with this.
Little bit of forge work, (the horns and tail), little bit of sheet metal shaping, (the ears), and a lot of scraps.

That is cool as can be.

How are you doing the horns?

  • Author

The horns started out as a 12" long piece of 5/8 rebar. Forged out all the texture lines then pointed the tips and forged to shape.
The tail is 1/2" rebar. Fullered out about 1 1/2" on the end for the hairy part, and tapered the rest up to the body. Then hot chiseled some hair lines in the end.
The ears are beat out of a piece of 2 1/2" strapping.

Good stuff, specially love the paint work.

i love the paintwork too - like cow camo? those eye lashes are sweeet!

Yep. Regular cow colors.

This is CAMO. A CAMO PIGGYBANK I made for my grandson.

I definitely get the bull in the title but I'm not sure about the raging part... I guess if the tank is still full of gas and you put him too close to a flame he could get pretty raging ;)

Just messing,

Fun piece!
