Shane Martin Knows A Thing Or Two About Bending Metal

Shane Martin Knows A Thing Or Two About Bending Metal

One the greatest aspects of web searches or my new favorite, searching on instagram, is finding raw talent. There are a myriad of things in which we can find distractions in and one of the things I enjoy most is to see new artistic fabrication ideas in steel. What we think of as one secular object, being morphed into an entirely different object is just too damn cool. The patience to create these pieces along with the thought process speaks to the true imagination that might be lurking within any of us. Maybe it's time to take a page out of Shane Martin's playbook and work up some bolts into something cool. 

Heavy Metal Banjo Plucked By The Devil Himself

Damn does it make our day when we find something as cool as this custom banjo made from miscellany parts. It was created by British artist Shane Martin, who just so happens to know his way around a metal shop. Have a look at more of his work on DeviantArt.com

Car parts and some guitar strings equal bad ass!

Check out this awesome neck made from valves and a bicycle gear

Is it art or an instrument? Both!

This custom banjo by Shane Martin is just flat out awesome
