After my recent purge of engines with bad cases I was left with lots of little odds and ends. One was a bad fork lower.

This is my first attempt at garage art. Let's see yours.

A friend of mine fitted a worn camshaft to an espresso machine as a handle. Wish I had a photo. Looked pretty cool.

Good on you Chewie, what an excellent idea. I can see this thread running!

I got nothing to offer, but looking forward to some inspiration!

My avatar is a Honda emblem that I painted on a 24" x 24" sheet of steel as a project in a community college painting class.

This may not be exactly what you had in mind but here it is. My wife and I got married in a small country church that would've been hard to find for all out out of town relatives and guests that were invited so I made up a bunch of these pointing the direction. They were all just scrap pieces of plywood that were tossed after the ceremony except for this one, it's pretty dirty now due to a garage fire that burned up half my garage years ago but once repairs were made to the garage the sign went right back up on the wall. As of this past July 1st it's been there for 28 years.

Wow 28 year! Congratulations! You must be doing something right. Sometimes it is the little things like that sign that stay with you. Funny how something small like that can transport you instantly back in time. Kinda like a a touchstone. Thanks for sharing.

Great story. That sign should be eventually passed down the family line.

My acrylic Honda wall emblem was a Christmas present laid out and machined by one of my son-in-laws who is a professional graphics artist.

This sits in my living room, but will one day make for some fine garage art (hopefully in a larger garage in a newer home

). This is the work of our own Joe/FrankenFrankenStuff

I'm impressed

hehe, mic drop for Franken indeed.

I can't find it for the life of me, but another member Dan/Whaleman had hollowed out an entire 750 engine to make a really slick lamp. I'll keep looking for it, it was really cool looking!

We have a wall display of sacrifices to the gods of speed, and a metal oil pouring can with a tiki pinstripe design. I'll get a pic.

Don R · « **Reply #20 on:** July 13, 2016, 10:31:58 AM »

The 710 comes from an old joke about a girl on the phone trying to find the oil cap on her engine, nope nothing that says oil but there's a 710.

Think I may need to nominate this for garage art of the month. Nice work Don!

Don R · « **Reply #24 on:** July 15, 2016, 09:17:35 PM »

Thanks, Chewbacca. I have 3 daughters, so now I'm finishing up the fourth one. And just ran out of copper.
