February 27, 201610 yr Say hello to Crash. I have been poking him around and he has had many great names and has even been called scary. Please. I find him to be cute or silly. I ended up making him versatile that his head will sit on the steering wheel Or on a stand I made. No play either way. A few friends thought one part or the other looked better on its own so there. Everyone is happy or terrified. Pic heavy!
February 27, 201610 yr Oh my! Put a wind whistle so it screams in a head wind, pun intended of course, and it's a near perfect hood ornament. The face on view of it on the steering wheel looks like the devil is after me! Frosty The Lucky.
February 27, 201610 yr Author one name choice was highway to "heck". Driving like a madman. Glad I got this out of my system, now it's back to butterflies and puppy dogs. Or maybe more skeletons? Lol.
February 27, 201610 yr Wow that's pretty wild das, awesome job! I really like the hands grabbing the steering wheel too, you have out done yourself again.
February 27, 201610 yr Sign me up for the freaken awesome!! I like the skull on its own more but it does look good on the wheel. Maybe you can implant a couple small propane burners in side the skull and then it will have flames for your patio in stead of a wood burner. Be like Ghost Rider.
February 27, 201610 yr Awesome work as usual Aric. I think this is my favorite thing you've done yet. Keep em coming!
February 27, 201610 yr Author Thank you guys. The propane idea would be very cool matto. Pete, Will do.
February 27, 201610 yr If you turned the wheel you could call it "Dead Man's curve." Frosty The Lucky.

I know about head stuck ideas my head is full of them and I can't get them out of my head! Forge weld a bit of mild rd. stock in a ball bearing and etch it would make an eye with a pupil. Hmmmm? Oh GREAT now THAT thought will be stuck in my head, darned voices. Frosty The Lucky.
February 27, 201610 yr Everytime I make something I think looks good i end up stumbling on to one of your threads and feel extremely inadequate. This looks awesome Das, wish I had your talent

This looks awesome Das, wish I had your talent Pancho, Honestly I feel the same way a lot of times seeing what others can do. I can marvel at their work and say to my self " why do I even try". Then I think about it and tell myself why not, why wouldnt I. it's drive and perseverance to see that I can do it. to make something my own. from large to small, simple to elaborate, Art isnt one thing. Your art and blacksmithing work is yours. Your emotions your capabilities and you grow and learn, Even your hammer marks or welds and take on things. Your view. Sometimes we cant make what we picture but thats a journey. Never be discouraged from making Yours. I love seeing all kinds of art. And I Really appreciate when people enjoy mine. Thank you. Dont be shy to share your work.
February 27, 201610 yr Ok, that is just cool. I've never been one that into skulls and such but that is absolutely a cool piece. Using the bolts for teeth and bearings for the jaw works really well. Great job. My son thinks it's Bad**s (his words) and I have to agree.
February 28, 201610 yr I think he needs a couple gold teeth . Good job I think it is one of your best so far. Tony

February 28, 201610 yr Halfway through the pics, I hear Ozzy's voice in my head: "...He was turned to steel In the great magnetic field..." That's all kinds of awesome!

February 28, 201610 yr fantastic work !! Where does it reside? OBTW, when taking a pic of your work, throw a bedsheet over the bench/table to hide all the clutter..then place the item...the focus will then be on the piece
