I made some things out of rubbish

[Flaevius]

I appreciate the craftsmanship of these and love Steampunk-style models. The little red, evil-eyed robot is my favourite so far. I'll definitely be interested if another batch of these appear.

Either way though, top work and inventiveness.

Thank you , yes I have 1 made and am working on another, i'll put them up in here when there both done.

I've bought a dog from you, thought my wife would like it. She loves the robots more so will have to get one when you're ready again

 

[ThePainBarrier]

Dog just arrived. It's just as good in the flesh (well, metal).
Definitely be interested in anything else you put up for sale...

Thanks thats great news! Im glad you like them, means a lot to me.

I have a couple of dogs left.

I have 1 new little robot made and 2 more half done.

A couple of people have said about making the Android robot, so I will be making a few of these in polished and brushed finish aluminium, but that will be a few weeks, I need to have a think about how to do them

I don't post here anymore, but lurk quite a bit. Remember reading through your Robocain thread.

Received up my dog today (was actually delivered yesterday, but couldn't pick it up) - really, really happy with it, even better than I expected!

Amazing work, love those little robots so would definitely be interested in one of those

 

[Building Candy]

Well, they certainly are popular: Those two didn't last long before they went!

Came back home now, doh

Hello people, trying to be fair to everyone here so im going to put these on a regular auction rather than a buy it now. I'll put them on ebay sunday night.

Made 3 this time:

Red eyes: looks a bit grumpy

Blue eyes: has a choppy thing and a chainsaw.

White eyes: Toasty flame thrower exterminator.

 

[Greebo]

Damn amazing buildi skills there plus you are smoking hot (ina none gay way). Life isn’t fair.

 

[robfosters]

Don’t want to be a ball buster and keep bleating on, but does this thread also belong in the modelling forum?

 

[Suicidal Ferret]

Unless he sells them as kits, no.

 

[Distracted]

Will the red one still open beer bottles if asked nicely?

 

[trigg_27]

Very nice work!

Just a suggestion, but how about putting rubber grips on the small robots and marketing them as bedside mobile phone holders? Although from the sound of it, you're already selling as fast as you make them

 

[Efour]

Got anything cat related?

 

[Building Candy]

Sorry, didnt realise I wasnt allowed to put ebay links in.

Well spotted

Got anything cat related?

No, I might do at some point, im working on the android robot next.

Android robot time!

I was planning to make this about 12cm high, but the bar and tube would have been about £40 alone! So im going for a more reasonable 8cm ish high.

Got some thick wall tube and some bar, 45mm diameter.

Cut and turned the body down to the right length

cut a shoulder into it for the gap between the head and the body.

onto the head, hacksawed it to size and then flatten it on the lathe

cut a shoulder on that so it sits inside the tube body.

drilled and taped the middle so I can hold the head on from the bottom.

Holding the head the other way round, trying to dome the head as best I can roughly

adding a bit of thread to hold it lower down so I can shape the whole thing, looks like a wastegate!

slowing the lathe down a bit and shaping it by hand, a bit dodgy but not too bad.

and left with something like this

only a rough finish on it so far, but the fit is good

more tomorrow

 

[Diddums]

Superb, love it. Is that a work lathe or do you own it?

You don't see much fitting & turning nowadays. Always a pleasure to see the art still being used.
