[TheForge] metal/equipment scrounge

Fri May 30 10:28:01 2003

Heres a website Im building for a local guy who does junk art, everything he
makes is from found objects, unaltered except from joining them together,
mostly metal. Not really in my taste, although Im having fun building the
site, but its interesting what people can do with scrapmetal.
