Here's something I knocked together for a friends birthday present. She's really into photography.

It's just some bits of scrap I got out of the bin at work.











Has/does anyone else make anything like this? Throw up some pictures of the stuff you've welded scrap into.

Here`s a planter I made out of a couple of Bug front guards and some ol pressed tin ceiling sheet.

That's fantastic!!

When I buy a house I think I'll make all the furniture myself out of VW parts.

Here's another one that I did over the last few days.

It's an electric guitar, I used MIG wire for the strings.





I also made a stand for it to sit in. Completely out of bolts.





And what metal guitar is complete without a checkerplate pick?





Enjoy!

It only took me a few hours!

The hardest part was getting the MIG wire to weld in place for the strings 😀

Looks like the guitar isn't aluminium...........must be a 'Heavy Metal' one.😁

Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

I did wonder how you managed to get the mig wire to stay straight. You must have had the AMPS right down?😂

yup you have to much time on your hands LOL
great work !
i used to be a big fan of lost and back few years ago when i had to much time on my hands LMAO
i made this up of 20 x 2 mm flat bar then the smaller bits i cut the 20 mm in half 7 ply backing welded the threads to the back of the 20mm so you carn't see how it's holding on then out of 2mm flat plate i cut the bug out then filled it into shape
it used to be out side my old shed and it looked like you need a secret hand shake to get in LMAO
now it's inside my new shed
