Little Red Wagon
Who will take pity on this tiny bot as he sits calmly in his little red wagon waiting for
someone--anyone--to take him for a ride?
Details: The replica Radio Flyer wagon is a little less than 2" long (without the handle), and the bot is made from all recycled parts, including a tiny flashlight bulb, bolt, and clock parts.

A Little Fishy
I've been working on a commissioned pelican for what seems like forever. I've come to refer to it as the "bane of my existence." But I think it's finally coming together . . . I'm excited about the little fish I made for inside his mouth. I mean, what more do you need?

Why, Yes, That Robot Does Have a Visor!
This is one of my new favorites!
His head is a vintage taillight set on its side, and his legs are the handles from wood-working planes.

I used miscellaneous metal pieces and a small plane inside the cigar box to provide enough counterweight to keep him from tipping forward.

Happy Valentine's Day
True love knows no boundaries . . . like immense size differences, for example.

A Certain Pixar Robot
I received a custom order request: a look-alike robot for a certain famous Pixar robot. With only a couple of days and the supplies I had on hand, somehow it came together.
His basic body is a vintage camera; his eyes are collapsible binoculars; his arms are metal with hand clasps that can be repositioned; and his legs are some kind of metal industrial things. He stands a little over 7" wide and about 7 1/2" tall. The back opens for storage, and he also has some custom dial/gauge type of things for the front.
