Metal art ideas

[Brady Matthews]

I am in the mood to make some kind of metal art but I can't think of anything. I have some crankshafts, pistons, gears, and reed valvs+normal valves. I am looking for some ideas, anyone have any?

I've seen skulls carved in pistons.

I'd totally buy a table lamp gear related. Gear as base?

A couple of years ago, the wife got me this for "man cave"...

I have a 3 cylinder boat motor block that I was thinking about making a little table with. Going to the drawing board

Gives me an idea. Put the connecting rod back on it and stand a few of them up in an old rusty tin bucket full of rusty nuts and bolts. Make it look like a potted plant. Use various size pistons and different faces. Shove some connecting rods in. Make it look like a fancy gearhead version of a potted plant, but all mechanical

That's a great Idea, I'll get on that tomorrow. Thanks for the idea
