Introducing Ernestine, another one of my full size assemblage robot (i've really do enjoy fabricating the larger pieces). This metal maiden is currently on display down at our local Community Center along with a collection of pieces from the artist guild I belong to. Top down - Aluminum ground wire, antique ceiling light fixture, aluminum water carafe, antique hot/cold faucet knobs, large coffee grounds basket , vintage coffee urn (Ernestine...get it?), Harley Davidson fender supports, industrial light reflector, super long candle stick holders, go kart hubs. That's a turn buckle between her legs...I needed to anchored her to a 24" round steel plate to ensure that the little ones wouldn't topple her...kids love to play with the sculptures. Stands 5' tall

The idea for his still life was that it should use wooden layout, drawing and painting tools. The objects include: old wooden carpenter's squares, winding rods (with multiple name stamps) and a massive mahogany try square.

One of the original cut-ups Buzz always maintains his edge (ouch)! Assembled from parts off of both column A and column B - vintage test box, screen door handle, old truck emblem, movie reels valve knobs, glass fuses, aluminum junction box, and, oh yes, saw blade. With Buzz there are no dull moments.

Simpson (11”)
Don’t get amped up...Simpson’s here. Carefully monitoring whatever it is he monitors this bot quietly instills confidence and, well...peace of mind. Don’t you just feel better knowing that...I sure do. Construction features solid-state-body (and mind), clear- gear vision & stable bike brake arms.
This some functional art furniture that I made. It's a camera lamp with a slide lampshade. What do you think? There are more for sale if anyone is interested.

Emma’s bot
Simply a see’s candy tin, a copper kitchen scoop, a pair of open end wrenches and a heart of gold…well, of copper. I crafted this litte guy for someone very special, my daughter, Emma. She has allowed me to show her bot but will never, every be for sale.

See Spot weld?! maybe not, but run and fetch are definite possibilities. This “man’s best friend” is made up of an old utility flashlight, pressure valve snout, drawer-pull ears, copper perforated legs finished off with stainless steel “paws”. Lifting his tail accesses a secure storage location.
Woof!

Tired of spending your money on all of those useless devices supposedly designed to help you "break 100"? Do you want to shave strokes off your game, without spending endless hours at the range? Well, good luck, cuz Robo Golfer won't help you with any of those common golf maladies. What our aluminized duffer will do is hold your spare change (just drop the coins in the spout on his chest) and caddy you favorite writing interments via his securely rear-mount golf bag. With batteries not provided, Robo Golfer's head will also light your way if you find yourself out on the course after dark. I created this one-of-a-kind sculpture utilizing a vintage coffee pot, motorcycle clutch/brake levers, hacksaw handle, a couple of flashlights, an old patio umbrella pole and two automotive oil pump housings. I hope you enjoy my found-object tribute to the game we all love.
Access
