This hammerhead shark sculpture is absolutely amazing! I think I'd name him Maxwell. 🦈

[@Chef-Really5365]

Yep exactly when he said hammered I knew ❤🙋‍♀️

[@Simpleangelk1]

This absolutely gorgeous!! Your talent speaks from your hands in finger painting to your sculpturing. LIFE !!!Taking waste creating masterful pieces , to put any where !! I just don’t have enough words to say ! Your gift 🎁 is God given ! THANK YOU 😊

[@ToriLynnH]

Monterey Bay Aquarium needs your shark!

[@stephanblas3311]

Totally magnificent ! We have 4 pieces of your beautiful works of art, and this one would be perfect to add to the amakua collection (Hawaiian spirit creatures) as it’s so befitting ! Keep up the good work Joshua !

[@colleenuchiyama4916]

I am so envious of you, but also thrilled that you are his patrons in such a big way.

[@obeliapark9860]

Your Hammer Head Shark is truly wonderful. I'm always amazed how you create such fluid movement out of what we see as hard rigid metal. You have such an incredible gift. Thank you for sharing it with us. Obelia From Australia 🦘

[@Mudjie50]

Your best sculpture to date!! I too think Maxwell would be a perfect name. ♫ Bang Bang Maxwells silver hammer came down upon his head ♫ or maybe Hammer Time.

[@justynejaniszewski4626]

What a vision. Love how you use parts of old tools to create amazing art. This is up cycling on a higher plane.

[@leandabee]

Your talent knows no bounds. So much time and effort Josh, 👌👏👏🥰

[@langsense]

Brilliant piece of work, Josh. Always great to see your thinking as you create your art, whilst also showing the practical issues.

[@lindaodellvermont]

Jeez, Josh. My butt cheeks were involuntarily clenched the entire time you ran your hand over the shark to prove how hard it would be to accidentally cut yourself. Probably due to the number of times I’ve seen you vlog from the hospital emergency 🚨 room. I’m not scolding - just Josh being Josh.

[@barbaraann7173]

Love all the background to the building of this amazing "Hammerhead Shark"

[@sandylee9564]

Awesome Josh. You are a young man with a passion.

[@nualarosth8448]

Unbelievable work as usual totally amazing ❤

[@maureenbrophy7852]

Beautiful. Well done again Josh 👏👏👏👏

[@carolhenry806]

Another fantastic project Josh you AMAZE me!

[@Vans294]

Brilliant work… when you brought out the copper all I could think off was… he’s got to make a copperhead snake next.

[@davidsimmons586]

Great job love it

[@Darkshadows63]

You are an amazing artist and so much fun to watch!

[@Upsidedownguitar63]

Tip for next time...get some various size pipes or even an old drive shaft cut up..heat the blades to red hot and bend them around the the pipe(s) to get the curve you want. Bending them in a vice etc..will often lead to creases. :)

[@sharlenen.z.9977]

3.30 in the morning and was just going to go to sleep and this popped up, sooo i guess sleep will have to wait

[@kjkayjay]

Yay! I was hoping we'd get a build video for this shark after I saw it on Alex's video. I love the final coloring on it. It looks amazing!

[@joellenmeek658]

I’ve been waiting to see this - thanks for doing it in one video. It’s my favorite sculpture you’ve done so far. Amazing!

[@joellenmeek658]

I’d call it “metal head”

[@cathpeterson1944]

amazing beautiful sculpture hammerhead shark I luv the copper and torched colors it pops 🤩

[@SueTatro-rc9xc]

The hammerhead shark from your show ❤. Awesome work Josh

[@colleenuchiyama4916]

It’s so beautiful, Josh. You are a genius maker like my uncle Johnny, and that is the highest compliment I can give you.

[@JoshuaAlexander138]

Thankyou

Absolutely flipping art piece❣️

[@justinanovak8040]

I LIKE YOUR SCULPTURES, JOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOPE YOU GET THE ART SHOW VIDEOS FOR US ALL TO WATCH????????? Do take care. Fl., USA

[@klf153]

Fabulous. So great to see / hear your creative process. Thank you for sharing this! Inspring, no matter what we may be doing.

[@wandamurray3031]

The hammerhead was so fantastic!! Make a tiger shark, Josh!

[@rosemarshall1219]

This sharpy shark is sick. It needs a proper stand for sure. Well done josh

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

OH MY GOODNESS !👍👌👏 I'm almost out of words about this incredibly fantastic SHARP SHARK !!! I will do a longer comment later but now I just wanna watch the video again.

[@shelleynobleart]

Stunning, gorgeous, better than ever, Josh!

[@XanBos]

As I’m not just a huge fan of the hammerhead shark, I find this piece so mesmerizing! When I saw it from the other videos of the show, I was taken back by the size and the gracefulness you put into it! Your sculptures have always been unique and well done with the use of discarded metal, and I think you deserve kudos for being able to do that! Would love to see a video of where this winds up, and how it gets displayed. I never heard how well your show went, but from the videos of the show, I’m sure you did ok. Wish I could have been there for sure. Great job!❤❤

[@abundantlyinspired]

You have the most amazing imagination and the talent to bring things to life. 😊😮

[@reneebekas8977]

This sculpture is so awesome! I would love to see it hanging rather than on a stand. But it would have to be somewhere with a balcony so it could still be admired from all sides.

[@tiaGSA]

Excellent work josh ,its pretty darn great, I'd call it Spike

[@judycochran1865]

Beautiful work once again.

[@MCML50]

Hi Joshua, i think this is going to bee an hammer shark, nice job.👍👍

[@eldoncook329]

This a great job Joshua!!

[@curtainsup9]

happy to be seeing this...just a few minutes in and I know it is a hammer head shark...( reference your art show ) the shark is absolutely amazing. the saw blades were perfect choice for the body and of course, the hammers for the head was the bomb. surely someone will buy it.

[@laurelbonnin954]

If I didn't already know what the finished product was, from the beginning shot with just the ax heads, I would guess a logger head turtle.

[@tamyramcgough6862]

I knew almost immediately that you made a hammerhead shark from hammerheads

[@maryleemcdaniel7274]

Fabulous!

There is an auto tracking feature. I stumbled upon it once but always forget about it. It works really good though thanks for the reminder about it.

[@jennieadamsMM]

My daughter suggested naming her/him Sharpie 🤗💖🦋

you r so creative it is beautiful

[@sunitahansraj4083]

WoW!

[@user-dt5vi7dq8b]

Fabulous😎

[@scrapgirl82]

I think some lawyer in town needs that in their waiting room. So everyone knows what a shark they are!

[@Tambisme]

Good idea! It can go in a court house and it makes sense with the hammers like a gavel. And they can call him Lawsen. 😃 To represent them all as a whole !😂

[@nancycornett9949]

Cool! ❤

[@laurapistor6129]

Unbelievably awesome 👏🏻. Your creativity and imagination are on point. I am looking forward to the next video. ❤

[@assiahinarkansas]

This was my favorite piece I saw in the video of your show in April. Love your work

[@kathywiseman7944]

Has Maxwell sold? Just wondering for a friend. ☺️😘❤️ Also to rust the metal you could have added a mixture of vinegar, hydrogen peroxide and salt into a spray bottle and doused it then add more salt to the metal.

[@virginiaf.5764]

Bang bang Maxwell's silver hammer ...

[@j.cooper2215]

You are so talented it's amazing to see the results of your work. Thanks for vog showing progress. 👍👍👍

[@barbarairving1248]

I've seen him before so I knew what it was from the beginning but it was great to see the process. The time lapse was interesting,so much hard work to finish in time for your show. Looks great in the gallery.😀

Again, I am late to the party. Just dropped in though, to commend you on another creative masterpiece. Have you named him/her/it yet? I always enjoy your 'build' videos!

[@karenmilligan5597]

I guessed it before you said hammerhead shark. You did an amazing job. I hope you sell it soon, if you haven't already.

[@kimholloway1169]

It's not a surprise because we saw it in your art show video. Either yours or Alex's? 😂

Alex gave this away in one of his videos.
