In need of scrap metal!!!

[TArrryan]

As the title says I am In need of scrap metal, however I am not after any old metal, what I'm after is smaller pieces of metal in interesting/different shapes.

What I like to do In my spare time is weld them together to make scrap metal statues.

 

Down is an example of one I'm working on now!! Its still unfinished, I have to make a head, tail and flesh out the legs. Ill also rebuild the hands later on as well, I didn't make much of a effort and now I'm regretting it. see if you can recognise any of the parts

 

If you are in the new forest (or a little further afield) please let me know if you have any small pieces of scrap laying about. I'm in desperate need now as I have exhausted my current stock of parts!!

 

Thanks for reading

 

Ps, although I didn't have anything in mind when I started, I have now decided it looks like Godzilla for those who remember the beast!

How far are you wanting to travel? I ve got loads of bits near Chichester, West Sussex (possibly a bit far?)

[TArrryan]

Depends on the type of scrap you have got, if its small pieces of plate metal and nuts/bolts then it would be a bit far. However for items like springs, small mecanical pieces, odd shaped bits of metal then i would be happy to traval to you.

I dont suppose a picture would be possible at all?

Just as a example of what im using here is a list of some of what i used in the above figure.

Snail ajusters (landy brake part)

Gubbin pin (spelling?)

Big end

Big end bolts

Chainsaw chain

Damper spring/brake caluper spring

Crankshaft from dads hedge cutter

Bits of landy tappets

Some milling offcuts from a friend

Hedge cutter blade (not shown)
