Making ART with SCRAP METAL!

[@max3ll108]

I reaaaally admire how can you visualise the where everything is going to make up such a wonderful piece!

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thank you! It’s definitely something that’s come with time and experience

[@lastvestiges]

If you don't already have some on hand then I'm not sure how easy it is to source them but for the wings i might suggest x-ray films cut down to size. There might also be some interesting sheets to be found in flatscreen tv's and monitors

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Oh I love that idea of the X-Ray films, and you’re right about the TVs and monitors, I am always surprised by how many layers they have

[@ScrumptiousPuggy]

He uses all his effort just to get few hundred likes he deserves way more he is the best crafter ever❤

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thank you! Hopefully one day!

[@mgulhane]

You should totally fill up the wings that will just complete the look 😃

[@zakmiskrycreations]

I think you might be right! I just need to figure out a way to do it that doesn’t cover up all the work that went into making them haha

[@mgulhane]

@@zakmiskrycreations maybe you can use a thin strip of sheet metal folded in half vertically like a c channel and then weld it to the the wings

[@zakmiskrycreations]

@@mgulhaneyeah that’s a great idea actually!

[@HorseDing]

This is so amazing. Thank you for doing it and sharing it. Much love.

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@aghi6086]

Great job ! 👏🏻 I think that the umbrella fabric is a good idea for the wings ! 🦇

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thank you! Yeah I think they could look really cool!

[@Sketchy_Dood]

I think it might be cool to use some translucent ribbon cables, or Polyimide Film tape for the wings

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Oooh that’s a really cool idea I love that!

[@PaulG.x]

Use a fine metal mesh for the wings

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Yeah I’ve been thinking about this too! I’ve used it on some other pieces in the past and has always been a cool material to work with!

[@ZlatkoBalazic]

You did a fantastic job on this bat. Excellent work bro.

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thank you bro, I appreciate that!

[@shawnfurbisher8210]

Great work! Instead of adding the tiny bits of metal to the tips of the nails it might work to cut or grind the tips down to a more manageable shape to fit them together...

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thanks! Yeah this definitely should’ve been the strategy, once I had started though I didn't want to change it incase the wings looked different! Next time I will 100% be taking your advice haha

[@amsrbob5459]

Loved this project! I ate really good food while watching this video😉😂

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Hahah I’m glad, hope it was a good watch to relax with!

[@duckyisaclown69]

What about a metal mesh screen material for the wings?

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Definitely a cool option, I’ve used speaker mesh on builds before and think it would look pretty cool!

[@ameenjamez]

Got to know about your channel from Instagram and i gotta say I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS ✨

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thank you! I really appreciate that. There’s lots more coming as part of the chameleon series I’m working on at the moment 😊

[@shanejensen3497]

Great work! Can you tell me what kind of welder are you using?

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thanks! It’s a micro pulse arc welder - the Orion 150s!

[@rodneypearsall1989]

What kind of welder are you using?

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Micro pulse arc welder 👨🏻‍🏭

[@Darius.Khan.Entertainment]

Hey man I appreciate your videos you have helped me with a few ideas you are very talented with this work I think the old umbrella fabric would look good on wings even try have separate parts of the fabric between the metal nails not just over top of it so it's like a trim and will match the style of the gold stuff you've done, it might be Harder to connect the fabric to it though you have to think of a way for that, your good at doing that though haha

[@Darius.Khan.Entertainment]

But then again might look good and be easier just on top on back too if you get more transparent fabric so you can still see the nail shape through it cause those nails joined together like that is such a cool look like the spider legs you done

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Hey man, thanks for the kind words! Yeah I still haven’t fully made my mind up what to do for the wings, I think I might test out a bunch of different materials and see what looks best - could make a cool video!

[@romchompa6858]

Does it fly?

[@zakmiskrycreations]

I wish! I have it suspended by nylon thread to make it look like it can fly

[@stumcconnel]

Holy heck that is cool! Also that's the first time I've seen a tiny little pulse welder like that and I immediately want one, but I just looked up the price and changed my mind lol

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thank you! And yeah it’s a pretty penny lol, I was using superglue only for years until I got a big commission that allowed me to invest in it!

[@stumcconnel]

@@zakmiskrycreationsIt's awesome and you're crazy skilled with it!

[@graceling1995]

@@zakmiskrycreations nice! What kinds of animals were you able to build with just super glue??

[@suzieplum7995]

This little vampire looks wonderful ! The skin for the wings you would be spoiled for choice I feel . There are so many beautiful black faux snake or lizard skins available although in keeping with the use of up-cycled parts the umbrella would be great too. Oh to hell with it... get the wife's black leather jacket out ! :)

[@zakmiskrycreations]

It’s definitely a tough choice! That’s kinda why I’ve been holding off finishing it for ages! But I’m committed actually making a decision rather than procrastinating any longer haha

[@willnevertell5664]

Great job! use black fake leather and change the eyes to small and black bats don't use their eyes IMO

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thank you! And yeah in hindsight the eye’s definitely aren’t very accurate, I think I was trying to be a bit more stylistic for the face with exaggerated features like the fangs!

[@mertozd]

What is the machine name ?

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Orion 150s

[@tueRo_75]

Good Bat Man

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thanks man!

[@PicaDelphon]

Very Well Done..!!..A+++++

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Thank you!

[@Turkeyticker123]

Man that’s cool as fuck what sort of welder do you use ?

[@zakmiskrycreations]

It’s a micro pulse arc welder - the Orion 150s!

[@hk94602068]

What is the machine he used for spot welding

[@zakmiskrycreations]

Micro pulse arc welder!

[@LuisGarcia-bd9nk]

Maybe electrocuting yourself because your hands where directly on the ground clamp? Not exactly sure though, just a guess

[@LuisGarcia-bd9nk]

Scratch that, I see when you were working on the feet you also grab directly on the clamp and weren’t getting shocked. So mystery is still unsolved lol

[@zakmiskrycreations]

That’s what I thought at first as well! But no clue why it was just that one time but not the others
