Nut And Bolt People

by Chad and John

Chad, being a typical college student, was broke. With Christmas around the corner, he wanted to come up with good (but cheap) presents for his family. He came up with the idea of making nut and bolt people to represent his family members. All it takes is a few pieces of sheet steel along with some nuts, bolts, and washers. We welded these together, but if needed, JB weld would also do the trick. The figures were finished w/ a textured spray paint to give them the beautiful finish you see here. Chad and John made his family two of these characatures, one for his sister (the teacher), and one for his parents (the motorcycle). These made great gifts because it's something his family members can put on their desks at work.

First up, Chad's sister:

Then, Chads Parents (coming soon, need new pictures).
