Scrap Metal Welding Art Project: Wild West Cowboy

Check out my Scrap Metal Welding Art Project: Wild West Cowboy. The boots were made from old shoe savers and the legs of course from a large horseshoe. The body came from some old wrought iron fence pickets from a fence I helped a neighbor up the street tear down in exchange for the metal and a sweet gate (which I refurbished and sold). The spurs were made from car gears. The cowboy hat I made from an old shoe saver as well. The guns were little mini railroad spikes someone gave me. The rope and lasso I made from old chainsaw chain by welding each link together.

What’s Inside? Phillips Brand CD Player AM/FM Radio-Take Apart

Found this old non-working Phillips Brand Compact Disc Player AM/FM Radio and decided to make a video showing what's inside it. They are relatively simple when you tear into them. I just used. small Phillips screwdriver for the most part. This CD player was electric but battery powered as well. This was mostly compiled of circuit boards on the inside held together by small Phillips head screws. The speakers were pulled out, the antenna screwed off, all the wiring could mostly be unplugged from the curcuit board. There wasn't a heck of a lot that could be salvaged from this but it was fun to take apart and see how hard the disassemble would be as well as seeing exactly what's inside.

DIY Wine Cork Projects: Shell Display Base and Wine Cork Refrigerator Ma...

Wondering what to do with those old wine corks? Well here's another idea. This one incorporates the use of an old coat hanger as well. There's a saying that necessity is the mother of invention. This shell display needed a base and I had these corks and coat hanger laying around. Drilled down the center, lengthwise, of each cork with a drill bit that was the same size at the coat hanger. Then slid each cork on the coat hanger, formed it into a circular shape, then stuck each end into the opposing cork, then super glued together.
