Here are some pics of a project I did today. It's a "piggy" bank I built for my nephew's 7th birthday.
I made it out of a piece of 4 inch round tubing, some flat plate and an expanding plug for the nose. Bolts for the eyes. Welding rod for the mouth. You remove the plug to access the money inside.
The powder is ultimate chrome topped by hot candy blue. The pics don't really do the color it's justice.
