Made another jellyfish. Got the brace bits at the fleamarket recently and just had to make another one. I believe the first two I made I just posted in the "what did you do in the shop today" thread. 

I feel like the second one I made had the most "life" to it, but since it sold recently I needed a new one for the table. Little smaller than the last two.  Saw blade dished out for the bell,  old auger bits for the oral arms and heated and stretched springs for the tentacles.

Your jelly fish look wicked cool and you're getting better at them.

Thanks Frosty, Lary. They are fun to make. 

  Awesome sculpture.  What did you use for that piece on top of the bell?  Is that part of a bearing cage?   Now I have been reading about jellies.  Interesting creatures.  I found this on wikipedia:

  "researchers found a jellyfish species called Cassiopea xamachana which when triggered will release tiny balls of cells that swim around the jellyfish stinging everything in their path. Researchers described these as "self-propelling microscopic grenades" 

  Keep up the good work!

On the top of the bell, those are pieces of a motors rotor. The stacked metal plates that hold the windings. A friend was scrapping and for a while he was really breaking stuff down and gave me a bunch of them. I find all kinds of uses for them.  

 

Now that is a species I would love to never encounter. 

  Thanks.  Sometimes I pound those smaller wood/brace bits flat, they make good mustachios for faces...  They look like Yukon Cornelius mustaches....
