Lockwasher Design

Toys. Toys made out of old things. Check out the race car made out of an old vacuum cleaner. I wish he had thrown a quarter in for scale cause these things are actually huge. The motorcycle is a good 18". Funny, cause I guess these are in the same category as those stores on every Main St. in every town that sells those little characters made out of nails and bolts. The little "quirky" guys with washer eyes that can hang from a ledge or prop a door open. But, these are so much cooler. Sorry Lockwasher, I have no room in my house for a two foot car made out of a vacuum cleaner, but if I did, I know where to go. Not only does he do these below, but he also makes robots out of cameras, figures out of oil cans, and a lot of things out of a lot of other stuff. Check out his Flickr portfolio.
