One man’s junk is another man’s art, at least it can be with a little work and a good eye. James Corbett of Australia is the latest example of an artist working in scrap metal and his pieces are pretty sweet. He uses parts of old cars to create all sorts of machines, animals and people and I think his metal work would look good on display most anywhere gearheads congregate. You don’t need to be a gearhead to appreciate this work, but the transition from functional to artistic makes you look a bit longer before tossing those leftovers from your last project.
Thanks for the tip, Gordon!

Wonderful! It looks like a classic Brooklands poster rendered in metal. Shows what some old junk, lots of imagination and scads of talent can do.
