The wheel is called a bull wheel. It came off a horse-drawn binder or REAPER. There's the start. The body skeleton is slices of pipe and rods heated and bent to shape useing a torch. I cut the old sheet metal with plasma cutter, heated with torch, and beat into shape for skin. Shield is from a fan base, saw blades and car bumper. The chain came of a old planter and the fender for wheel is sweeps off old equip. Wings are rebar and screen and guards off a old sickle. The head was built separately on the welding table ,then installed last. » reply The wheel is called a bull

The head was built separately on the welding table and installed last. » reply That's pretty wild Ellis!

That's pretty wild Ellis! When I look at this piece I get a sense of where we are today with the war in Iraq and the momentum we have with controlling the world by imposing our belief systems onto everyone and everything else. I'm sure this is not your intent. However, the nice thing about art is our own personal interpretation of what the artist is saying. Thank you for sharing your art and welcome to ArtMetal! » reply That's the coolest thing

This is so inventive! I love it. I think I like the arrow through the shield the best, but the whole thing is really cool. SmokyRick » reply Close Up
