First thanks to all of you for the welcomings.I put some pix of my "hell-n back" bike in my intro page, and some of you wanted some more detailed pix-so here they are. I spent about a year building this bike-it all started with the tail and from there it kinda just built itself. Everything is metal-even the saddle bag, which houses the battery and the breakers. I also make twisted lamps and other off the wall stuff-with the skull/bone theme.

Thanks, the demon skull is made from a old fire extinguisher and round stock. The hands,feet and rib cage are made from round stock,pipe fittings and some old ball bearings-we did a big tear out at work and I saved all kinds of stuff from going to the scrap yard. I attached some more pics of some other things I've built out of that "junk". The table that the skull lamp is sitting on is actually metal too-except for the top.

Lots of tinkering with the welder-alot of it is turn the feed up, heat down and go like hell. Then some of it is just weld fast and keep the rows of welds tight together. It was really hard at first because you basically have to learn to weld like crap-which after 20 years of not trying to do was tough! I also make furniture out of metal and wood, and not all of my stuff is evil looking.I just haven't had the guts to posted any of my "pretty" things yet.
 
Here's some of my not so demented stuff. The owl thing is a log holder for a fire place-made it for some friends who love owls. The pub table has a door so you can decorate the tree. I make the roses out of a old barrel I got from work-the palnter was a memorial to my mom for my dad-not really my taste in decor but he loved it. Thanks for the compliments-I usually don't show this stuff to people!
