Scott NC Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 A friend gave me a broken cast iron pot of some sort and wanted something unique in return. I'd say he got what he asked for. Tricky stuff to weld to. One of the eyes would not take until I bought the correct rod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott NC Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Thanks. I put holes behind the eyes so he can set a candle or flashlight behind it and make them glow. Kind of spooky but Halloweens not far off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Williams Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Quite nice! Any glow-eye pictures? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted September 9, 2020 Author Share Posted September 9, 2020 I do not have any, sorry. I'll see if he will be nice enough to send me one or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daswulf Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I missed this. (Probably other things too lol) I like it. Nice use of the red glass for the eyes. The teeth parts remind me of a ring possibly out of a transmission? I've been saving glass pieces from busted headlights (can't think of the name but almost half spheres that focus the beam) for use as eyes on future pieces. They are big so better for bigger sculptures. Now I need to go back through the sculpture section and see what else I've missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott NC Posted July 6, 2021 Author Share Posted July 6, 2021 Thanks Das. Those teeth are made out of a big lock washer that came off a large roller bearing. I've tried bending them into a "smile" but they turn out all goofy looking, lol. I go back and look at stuff on here from time to time as well. It's too bad a lot of the photos are gone, I'd like to see what they were talking about! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are the eyes? Bulbs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted September 28, 2021 Author Share Posted September 28, 2021 No, not bulbs. Just some glass "beads" I picked up at a hobby store for a different purpose and I glued them on there. Just the thing for that ghastly touch.... It was a Halloween project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott NC Posted September 29, 2021 Author Share Posted September 29, 2021 Thanks, TW. Old Kettle Head is kind an ugly hombre. I'm done with Halloween projects after that one, though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Don't worry gang, he's just redefining those terms for the new location. Strange, arcane and outlandish in Nebraska is just another Happy Meal toy in N. Carolina. He'll come around as soon as he's adjusted. Frosty The Lucky.

Scott NC Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Well, I was suffering from a momentary lack of reason there for a bit. Back on an even keel now, so..... Robert, I have some things set aside for you as well. Thomas, not likely, but I plug along anyway.... Tw, what on earth is a Franklinbucket? I have ideas now about metal 5 gallon buckets. Jerry, you hit the nail on the head, you have amazing powers of observation.... I am working on bizzare, koo koo, and atrocious, NC style!!!! Still a bit environmentally maladjusted though. But I'm working on it..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TWISTEDWILLOW Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Lol I dunno what a frankenbucket is I just made it up, but maybe you could bring one into being! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 Well it sounds cool, so consider it done! I'll post a photo sometime.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Add some lightening rods and make it a Franklin Bucket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott NC Posted October 1, 2021 Author Share Posted October 1, 2021 In keeping with the fact that we like special effects and hot stuff on ifi, almost as much as pictures? I was thinking candy buckets for trick or treating for some reason. Lightning bolts out of the sky might be too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
