rlarkin Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 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.

Don A Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 That is cool as can be. How are you doing the horns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlarkin Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironantlerforge Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 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!

jjzzshen@yahoo.com Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 This clock projects the time, date, or temp on the wall or ceiling Wholesale Clocks Shipped To You Direct From Chinese Wholesaler some people call it a ceiling clock but I call it a digital projection clock. I got the black one because at the time that was the only color they had. But now they have them in black and also in white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
