Statement Lizard King is a playful
piece that was suggested when I obtained a worn out ditch witch
chain. The chain looked perfect for a reptile's back and I began
by welding it to the contours needed. There is a piece of sawmill
chain topping the ditch witch chain for added detail. The body is
rounded out with a pair of truck leaf springs, and the back was
made from steel fence posts bent to a gentle curve so that the knobs
provide texture. Front legs are truck universal joints, back legs
are the supports for truck fuel tanks, and if anyone knows what
the head was, please let me know. Doug Makemson |
