Hi Harwell Yes go for it! Nuts.bolts and washers are wonderful to work with. I did try to use heavy bolts on their side for the heads of the figures but had a hell of a job trying to get a good weld..I've only got a hobby MIG welder. the hardest thing in this type of sculpture i find is trying to create movement in the piece i'm not sure if I achieved it all that well...I also found that old rusty bolts polished up look better thanks for your kind comments best regards Paul G  metalmedics

you,re really a metal
you,re really a metal recycling artist Paul...this piece makes me smile....
it seems like you forgot something...the lock and plain washer....but where would that be placed in this piece???maybe it could be as a wheel for the stretcher or an ambulance hehehe...
i cant help myself thinking about it coz i like it...a very simple bolts with a sort of welding,grinding,bending and turns out to be wonderful piece...i,ll try to create something also from bolts,may i???
