I got to wondering if I could turn this into a side hustle. I'd like to gauge interest in my creations, so, would you be interested in buying these sorts of things?

    Not my style, but it's amazing work. I'm sure there are plenty who would be interested in purchasing it. Nice job!

    No, but I'm sure somebody will. After all, somebody's out there buying welded scrap metal dinosaurs and chainsaw carvings of bigfoot, right?

    i think there is a market for some stuff like that. if the top photo of the piston was a coffee mug i think you could sell a lot of those

    The table is pretty awesome. The skulls/ammo/violence/death type stuff is very much not my style but I know there are others that enjoy it. The craftsmanship on the piston is awesome, just not my design preference. Etch a car, mountainscape or something on it and maybe the same materials could apply to more tastes. I dig the graffiti art too.

    Art is too overpriced.

    I guess but too much of the mainstream is shit and undeserving. I appreciate raw material art and woodwork. It's usually priced out of my budget or need for it.

    Great addition to the thread.

    OP I bet you can sell that stuff even if some dude says "art" is too expensive.

    I'll echo Etsy. Shipping might be a killer with your stuff though.

    Any flea markets or similar near you?

    I agree, what I mean is custom stuff like shown here. There is no way you can sell stuff hand made and get any where near what you have in your time and materials and make much, if any :thumbsup:

    I guess maybe.

    Lame comments have nothing to do with my membership length however.
