Howdy Sprocket,

I built this critter with simple hand tools from the hardware store.  Imagine what I can build when I get some "professional" tools.  I have a mill now, I use it cut plastic enclosures mainly.  When I get some serious machine tools I am going to make some really cool stuff...

Thanks for the praise...

Blessed Be...

Nice build Z.Monkey! Very creative use of pipe pieces. Can't wait to see what you'll be producing when you get your pro tools...

Howdy Yucca,

Thanks, this goes to show that you don't need sophisticated materials to build the ideas that come into your mind.  You can use scrapyard ingenuity to build whatever you want, and you don't need to spend a fortune on it.  I would like to refine this model a bit more and use it for an art piece.  But the next one will have to be more sophisticated to be useful instead of just interesting...

Blessed Be...
