While I was making the castings for the machine that eats things, I cast this bronze sand drawing of what the end result might look like.

machine that eats things

I made some heavy bronze castings for the machine that eats things, and have been slowly machining them.  I carved the patterns out of styrofoam and sand cast them, using the lost foam process.  They came out pretty rough, I wish I had made wood patterns, then I could recast them easily and fix the shrink spots.  Would have been more accurate too, less machining.
