  It is amazing what scrap metal can be used for. There are so many different things that can be made with metal. If you heat it up you can shape it into pretty much anything. Metal is like an unbeatable material. Jacob Allen | www.normansscrapmetal.com.au/services

  This is such a net sculpture made from scrap metal. A friend of mine likes to do this kind of art. He is always asking friends for scrap metal. I bet there is a place where he could go get scrap metal. I will help him do some research. Emily Smith | www.bigdaddyscrap.com

  Yep, looks like a hot plate sitting on top of a white lady's shoe. That is a 1938 license plate there from the looks of things.
