Bud in PA Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 OK when are you going to do Elmer Fudd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbojak Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Are the eyes just built up weld bead or is there something else there? Okay, now that I have my glasses on I can see something distinctly round. I'm still not used to these things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Very cool Das, another inhabitant of a steam punk universe. "On Oilcan Down," is just one story. Frosty The Lucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daswulf Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 If I had the time and money for scrap and supplies I'd make the whole yard into a scrap wonderland scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get the tig out this weekend and start practicing. Some new pictures after cleaning Wagner up. I applied a little hydrogen peroxide last night and will try a little more to experiment at getting him to a nice light rust brown color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JME1149 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 The chickens don't seem to mind him being in the yard, just be careful not to hit Wagner with the lawnmower or you might end up with more parts to work with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpankySmith Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 My homemade rust mix is a bottle of drugstore peroxide, couple tablespoons of vinegar and a tablespoon or two of salt (I never actually measure, these are guesstimates). I've wow'ed friends before by spraying it on bare steel and watching rust form instantly. I continue to apply until I get the rust effect I want. I was actually gonna suggest you try rusting da pesky rabbit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
