I had some old leaf springs around after putting new ones on my truck. the interestingness of the metal I knew would lend themselves to some kind of nice aesthetic shape and I came up with this idea after a while, though it was a few months before I actually put it together. the middle joining pieces are parts of the springs as well. no cutting of the parts was needed, aside from what I had to do to disassemble the spring packs.
once I had my metal shop stuff in order, this only took two or three hours total to do. a wire brush on my 4 1/2" grinder got a lot of the rust and loose paint off making these look much cleaner, while retaining a bit of the "weathered" texture.

The bronze nine foot tall DuBois metalwork statue can be found alongside a creek in a downtown DuBois pocket park called the Twisted Garden. In this piece, the artist Richard Wilson portrays an abstract human holding a star above the statue’s head.
Throughout Linnton you'll come across metalwork by this artist, including on the gateways to the neighborhood and some benches here and there. Later in this walk we actually found his workshop. But here we found this globe on a pole, beside what appears to be a semiactive construction site, where someone is digging a foundation for a new building. Not sure what, but we like the sentiment: "dream and build it."
