These are works which do not fit easily into the other categories.
Octopus Tentacle Bathroom Towel Hooks These tentacles are in forged stainless steel. They are drilled and countersunk to accommodate a hanger bolt and designed to be each screwed into a stud. They are labor intensive and require a great deal of handwork starting with forge tapering a 1"x 1" solid piece of stainless steel square bar.After forge tapering (with the trip hammer) they are then reheated and formed into realistic postures.After this I weld the sucker shapes on by turning my MIG (wirefeed) welder way down to present a "cold" high bead and VERY CAREFULLY weld each sucker in place.Finally grinding and polishing accomplish the look... Because of all the hand work each one is totally unique. They are $125 each. (plus shipping) ![]() |
