Emckelvy asked me to post a picture of what I was up to (I'm a metal Artist) once I figured out how to remove the shafts from this lower unit (sliced in two for use here, it is from a 85 hp 4 cyl). (If anyone needs any parts from this 4 cyl 2 stoke, let me know....I just "make stuff" out of things metal).

..so here's what I'm thinking (today) on one of the 250 pound practice bombs I have...
A "Buck Rogers Era" Spaceship Grill...I would cut a hinged door, some vent holes in the bottom, and have the smoke come out through "Rockets" in the tail of the"Booster Rocket" on top ( a lower skeg cut from a mercury outboard), which would also be the 'tip' handle . I want to cut art deco-type windows in the front, so I would have to back them with some sort of baffle to keep it from getting too much air..
I would make a Moon, Stars, Planets stand for it...'just what I'm thinkin' today, but I might jump in and make it today...or maybe not....I never really know...:rolleyes:

Re: Mercury Used in Art

Morning Hotfoot. I see you made it over here form the Hobartwelders forum. I don't know how you come up with the ideas for your metal sculptures, but they sure are creative.
