Another Art Project  2                                                07-2019

 

Hot Rod Parts

 

These valve springs came out of my 33 Ford many years ago and I figured that I could use them for this project. Why springs? The way I see it...why not!!
 

 

 

I welded them together and made them all close to the same length.
 

 

 

I heated the larger springs and put a small bend at one end. That's the nice thing about art projects, just because something doesn't match doesn't mean you did it wrong. On the other hand, I guess you could argue that it might not be right either....
 

 

 

Sheet Metal

 

I sheared some thin sheet metal to add some detail to the project.
 

 

 

I rounded three of the four corners so they look a little softer. You'll see why soon.
 

 

 

It's Finished

 

Here is the finished art project.
 

 

 

In this shot you can see the spacers that I made.
 

 

 

These are broken valve springs that I thought would look cool.
 

 

 

There's something about gears that satisfies the soul for a lot of people.
 

 

 

Do these look like leaves?
