Yeah!! We love freaking robots and the talented robot geek Lockwasher seems to have a Robots’ Heaven right in his garage:
Well first is was the ray guns, then I had so much stuff still left laying around and my workshop/studio/garage was already so trashed and the word robot starts with an R like ray gun… you following this logic. Anyway to top it off my wife actually thought they were neat or cute or some warm and fuzzy description that she had never bestowed on any of my ray gun creations. And the garage continues to exist in a perfect state of being trashed.
Check out some of his awesome homemade robots:
I ROBO Pod Robot
Banana Rama or Bach irobo pod has all of latest downloads. Our musical maestro is composed of a compressor engine cover, ice crusher crank arm, mint box and flashlight lens. Apologies to Apple.
Robot Robusto
Mr. Robusto’s crafted from a copper float, coffee strainer, vintage light toggle switch, fishing reel arms, assorted gears and an old cloth tape measure.
Robo Gnome
Mr. Gnome’s aluminized body (tea pot) allows him to frolic without fear of rusting in the rainy weather.
Mothra2 Robot
BR2D2…beertooD2
After several mugs of liquid inspiration while viewing StarWars for the umpteenth time BeertooD2 was born… or should I say drafted? His 4.7 liter keg body, chrome tractor headlight dome, vintage shoe polisher legs and mini bread loaf pan feet have proven popular with the over-21 crowd…may the force beer with you.
Schauer Robot
Wide-eyed and up for a challenge nothing gets past Schauer. Gloriously displaying his radar headgear (lawn sprinkler) and dual window cranks (arms) this bot is master of all he surveys. A vintage motor analyzer case, auto valve bodies, electric drill parts, springs and a big gold nose keep him on top of his game.
sir lube of can-o-lot robot
The days of shivery are still alive thanks to Sir Lube! Striking a bold stance protected by his vegetable grater shield and oil can lance, our hero sports a custom helmet with hinged face guard. Know a damsel in distress?
propeller head
This titanic terror is transfixed on traumatizing tens of thousands…not really, he’s honestly just looking for a good time, has a nice personality and is a Sagittarius.12″ tall…and if you’re seeing a wild, color background.
robo betty
Betty’s stylish ensemble is made up of an aluminum light shade, dainty pressed steel ashtray, tea strainer ball, bicycle cable hangers and molly bolt heels. Betty was my first attempt at creating a female robot.
cam robot
Timing is everything in life…and that’s especially true for Cam. Fashioned from a cam dwell tester, potato tongs and a pair of toy pliers. Remember, next time you’re ready to time something…use Cam…everytime!
scotty robo dog
Scotland’s loss is our gain, Scotty dog. Classic thermos plaid body, aluminum lamp shade head and hot and cold ears make up our wee lad.
brassbug robot
Fan blade added with a pair of pot drainers make the wings.
mobile phone man
just hanging around waiting for that next call…
camera robot Lancer
ANSCO Lancer that is. Made in West Germany cica 1959.
