Hey guys,

My brother is a welder and makes these really cool art pieces he calls scrap bots. I asked him if he would make me one of a dude kiting. This is what he made today.

I asked him if you would make more if any of you would like one made, he said he would def be down.

You can either send me a pm, or email him directly at blankmetalworkz@gmail.com

He can weld anything you would like. :)

Whats the approximate cost of a unit like that, and what general dimensions?

Pretty cool. Also interested in cost and dimensions and weight so one can estimate shipping.

Purely Luck - 2-8-2013 at 07:15 AM

Sure, I will text him today to find out the approximate cost/size/weight and let you know as soon as I find out.

Also, he lives in Livonia, Michigan.

So shipping will be from there.

Already heard back from him. Here is exactly what he said.

"Weight varies piece to piece, but the kite boarder weights next to nothing. Your kite boarder is about 11" tall, 9" wide, 9" deep. Price is $80 plus shipping. Weighs less than a 25' tape measure."

Does he work in 1:2 scale? grins


I've got a corner of my acreage that needs some artwork.

He will do anything. He made a fireman out of a fire extinguisher once. Thing was epic. lol


I found the pic, here it is.

Got this from a guy here on the forum, if you look close, you can see what kite the guy is flying.

Got to say that WELDNGOD is talented beyond just making buggies and being a team rider.:thumbup:
(he made this one just for me, it sits on the hearth in the living room for everyone to see)
