I was bord. I have a welder, I have scrap

Job what was planned for today fell through, so I had some spare time. Plus a bit to much coffee.

The horseshoes are from a friend, the Tea light holder was from a scrap yard, I found a box of decorative metal, that came back with me.

A bumble bee, from a broken car spring, horse shoes and a spark plug.
On the bench you will see a snail and a small "Gear Dog".

I hope you like.
As to finishing them, a wire brush and then I leave them out side to grow their own rust finish.

Cool, nice workshop too - lots of everything, everywhere all covered in a nice layer of grinding dust and overspray, just like mine!

What's the chain/sprocket thing?

Love the gear dog.

Thanks for the replies.

The chain and sprocket things is a Shamrock made by my daughter, from old Land Rover Timing gears and chain.

It was put together with a stick welder and my MIG. She found it to be a pig as the metals were badly contaminated, despite being cleaned and ground back. The plan is now is to leave it outside and let it rust a bit.

To little work on the books makes for mischief in the workshop.
Good fun though.

You sure it was sugar you put in that coffee?
