The "Not so Quiet Riot"

A panhead powered scooter that'll get the party started, this is the bike #139 in the BDW collection. It's the 35th Year of the Chopper sculpture, and like the other 34, all proceeds go to Home Fur-Ever and Lifebuilders Detroit.

The "Detroit Uprising"

The Detroit Tigers Opening Day is right around the corner, the Red Wings are the hottest team in the NHL heading into the playoffs, and the Detroit Lions are prepping for their traditionally high pick in the 2010 NFL draft pick! No better time than now to bring out a Detroit inspired Year of the Chopper.

And here it is. Check out the inscribed old English D on each side of the gas tank, along with one welded onto the rear fender.

Get in on the action for "Detroit Uprising!"

Harley "Ironman" Motorcycle Sculpture

This week's Chopper for Charity was inspired by this '74 Custom Sportster.

"Ironman" is a pretty mean looking piece with the short pipes, ape hangers, and the suicide shifter. Keep up on the bidding here!







And a shot for size perspective(yes, I love sugar)

Another "Hot Rod" Abrams

A couple weeks back I was asked about doing another tank sculpture. I had done the M1 Abrams a few months ago, and a similar look was what was desired. You can see the first one here.

I changed a few of the lines a little bit, and played around with a different way to raise and lower the barrel. The friction is adjustable, so that it moves stiffly or freely. The turret rotates 360*. Here's the latest "Hot Rod" Abrams:

Win Sleepy the Metal Mutt!

Become a fan of Brown Dog Welding on Facebook, comment on the "Win Sleepy!" album, and you'll be entered to win the nap taking pup. I'm going to do the drawing on Friday of this week.

Motorcycle Sculpture #108, YOTC Week #16

A Harley Panhead, "McMurphy" is named after the character Jack Nicholson popularized in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest". Cool, slightly temperamental, and crazy like a fox.

One day left to bid, win this auction and I'll get it shipped out Friday!

Artic Cat Sabercat Snowmobile Sculpture Progression

Here is another commissioned piece, and some progress shots I got of it...as well as some final pics.

Week 15 of the Year of the Chopper...

And it's a Harley Softail chopper. Bid for it here until Thursday afternoon!

Thanks to Matt Trombley Photography for the first two pics.

"Flame Hardened", a piece to help Hellcat Customs rebuild

At the beginning of Novemeber, Kelly Rogers and Jason Sarratt suffered a devastating loss by fire. Working from his dad's garage while his shop, Hellcat Customs, was in the process of relocating, a spark ignited a blaze that destroyed his equipment, his bikes, and the garage.

To help them put things back together, many have folks have united to donated their time, resources, and money. If you are interested in making a monetary contribution, Rob Dale has set up a way to make a direct donation through his blog. Fred Horton and others have been setting up a "Rise from the Ashes" poker run that will take place on December 12th. If you can't make it in person, you can also participate by proxy.

I'm hoping to help out a little bit too. Bike #106, "Flame Hardened", was created to be raffled off at the poker run on the 12th.
