Default A different kind of present

I always have a tough time finding something for mt brother-in-law for Christmas. he likes strange and unusual things. well this year i got an idea from a pic i saw of a hood ornament made out of codder pins and other bits to look like a skeleton.

Here is what i came up with. Took about 5 or 6 hours to make.




It's just scrap stuff i found lying around TIG welded together, My wife made the book. It came out pretty nice if i say so myself. It was hard giving it up, I wanted to keep it!

My wife thinks i should start making them to sell. If time permits i may but for now this is the only one.

wow thats awesome! youve got talent man. my brother in law is still kinda amazed that his sister actually lives in las vegas nv, so we buy him cheesy vegas crap at a truckstop and he's thrilled. t shirts, coffee mugs etc.. he's pretty much perma-fried from all the drugs he did when he was younger so its easy to please him.
