bluemountainforge Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I wanted to do something just for fun, so this was for my lawn. It loves to greet visitors coming up my walk! Body is sheet steel cold formed and welded, everything else is forged then welded to the body.New to the forum so I hope the pics work!!

Frosty Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 I LIKE it! Deb would kill me if I made one, she's not too crazy about spiders. What's it's size? Welcome aboard, you're going to fit right in here. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PICKETTR Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 3' is a nice size, spooky big but still small enough to move it around and ambush people. Very nice. Frosty CAREFUL ABOUT WHO YOU WOULD AMBUSH! SOME OF MY FRIENDS ARE ARMED! :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 CAREFUL ABOUT WHO YOU WOULD AMBUSH! SOME OF MY FRIENDS ARE ARMED! Oooh! Sounds like I'd need to incorporate motion sensors and a silly string shooter for your friends. Besides I'd never do an ambush joke on the armless, they just shriek and I really love the arm waving and dropping things of someone who's just had a good fright.

bluemountainforge Posted July 1, 2009 Author Share Posted July 1, 2009 You guys will love the trapdoor spider I'm making right now. It will be crawling out of my water meter "manhole" cover! Think the meter readers will like it? Thanks everyone for all the props. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pault17 Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 My wife asked "how long did your wife beat you after ambushing her?" other than that, looks real good. Inspirational even:cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRobb Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 That is Great!! I love it. I've gotta try something like this. Thanks for posting. Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Welcome aboard Hotride, glad to have ya. Very cool headache rack. You could make the spider ride on the roof facing back and it's eyes can light up when you put the brakes on. If you'll click "User CP" at the top of the page and edit your profile to show your location it can make a big difference. IFI is represented by more than 50 countries and a lot of info is location specific. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
