CAR BODY REPAIR SHOP

The oxygen tank is made of
aluminium tubing that was once serving as a TV antenna and the acetylene
tank a casing for a cigar - (NO...I
Do Not Smoke!!!!). The pressure gauges are carved from rubber
, so as the vise. ( My poor daughter couldn't find it in her schoolbag
next day!)
| Here you see the close-up views of the vise and the dirty plastic tray containing rusty bolts. The handle of the vise and the bolts are made of pins. The rusty effect was given by first heating the pins on an open fire to a black state , then dry brushing . By the way, the tray is from the packing of a medicine pill. The workbench is from balsa, burned locally with the tip of a soldering iron to give the aged effect. |
