- Making a spider out of an old lightbulb, scrap metal, and recycled electronics. I make all kinds of different sculptures out of parts I get disassembling old electronics. If you've got any questions about the process or anything art related I'll do my best to answer any comments! I'd love to know what you guys think of this piece, and let me know what you'd like to see me make next!

I love how you share the process and experience, burns and all. It's such a clever use of electronics and mechanical pieces to create artwork. I've spent the last 50 years with electronics in my life and you have put a new perspective to it. Well done and keep it up as you have much to offer this new generation. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words, giving a new perspective on electronics and waste is exactly what I aim to do so I’m really happy to hear that!
Really cool Video, the creativity is off the charts with your designs. Outside of the Prints on your Website, do you actually Sell the piece's you've made? Or only commissions?
Thank you! And yes I do but releases are very infrequent, I’m working on a new one at the moment! I hope it’s going to be ready in about a months time
Amazing
Thanks 😊
you're my inspiration.
Thank you I really appreciate that!
I’ve been so interesting and in love with this type of sculpturing and even wanted to do it myself, any tips or tricks for people who want to get started? Maybe if you had the time to make a video about it that would be amazing, but if not that’s completely fine, I love your artwork
Thanks so much! I’ve been meaning to and probably will do a video like that, is there anything in particular you’d like to know?
Have you made a dragonfly?
I’m building one at the moment!
I love your work I follow you on tik tok too
Thank you man! I really appreciate the support
really cool! I liked the lenght of the video, I think if you go into too much detail, it will get too boring. But maybe you could do an indepth welding guide or something like that, if enough people are interested.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it, yeah maybe it should be a stand alone video!
Really cool and interesting video! Keep it up!
Thank you! I really appreciate it
Hey Zak, just wondering a bit more about the welder itself? Any model / guides? Thanks in advance!
Its the orion 150s - a micro pulse arc welder!
Great stuff! Tbh I’m surprised you’re not getting more attention on these longer form videos. I think a lot of people following on ig would be interested. I’m actually here from the ig page myself
Thanks! Yeah I’ve been struggling to get people to move over haha, glad you made the trip!
This is awesome! Have you considered getting some "helping hands" style clamps to hold pieces in place when you are welding them together? Might make things easier! Keep up the good work!
I have thought about it, I’ve got my eye on a specific one that would be perfect for the type of stuff I do but it’s pretty pricey, so I’m just waiting until I can justify the investment!
I’m absolutely in love with this channel, keep up the good work brother🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much brother! I appreciate you
I was waiting this video🔥, really cool watching you at work
Thank you man! Glad you liked it, lots more to come!
Hi, I couldn't find a video about the welder that you use, can you please tell or link me what are you working with?
Thanks.
Its a micro pulse arc welder - the Orion 150s - I talk about it a bit in this video - czcams.com/video/-3Wwmjbs-7E/video.htmlsi=OAEI7ER3i1Z9uVci
It looks great
Thanks!
hi ! sorry for my English im still learning. i wanted to know what welder are you using ? Seems better with the one you have , you can use both hands to hold the metal sculpture, its more practical
and i forgot, thank you for your videos they made me want to make metal sculptures like that! merci beaucoup mon pote!!!!
Your english is great! Im using a micro pulse arc welder - the Orion 150s - I use a foot pedal to activate it so it means I can use both hands!
And thank you for the kind words! I appreciate it!
What kind of welder did you originally to start off with because I don't think I could buy a five thousand dollar welder lol and I'm very interested in trying to make some art similar to yours as it looks fantastic!
Originally I was using just superglue, I’ve only had the welder for the past year, it was a big investment but necessary for a big commission I got. With just superglue they’re more fragile but it’s all I used for about 9 years!
Does this work in arc welding machine with an attached welding rod it seems hard
I use micro pulse arc welding, because its on a small scale, but yes in principle arc welding with a rod would work, it just would probably be more visible where you've welded!
Would like to learn more about that welder
I'll be making a video on it soon!
I love seeing the proces! And the length for me is just right.
I wonder, seeing this, do you glue parts before you weld? And if so, is there no risk of flames developing?
Thanks Sjiva! So to weld you need an electric current between both metal parts, which means if you glue them, the electricity can’t conduct because the glue has blocked it! So because of this if you glue parts together usually you can’t weld them
@@zakmiskrycreations Thank you!
I was wonderi g this because in the last bit, when you talk about attaching the lightbulb, you mention both using welding and superglue. As the spots you weld and the parts you glue are in such a close proximity, I was wondering how that would work. Do you first weld, then glue?
@@sjiva7061 so for this what I did was I glue the nuts to the bulb, and then weld those nuts to the thorax, because there’s no glue between the nuts and the thorax I can still weld it! Like this bulb -(glue)- nuts *weld* thorax
@sjiva7061 the current can flow through the nuts and thorax, but not between the nuts and the bulb, does that make sense?
@@zakmiskrycreations thank you so much. Now I understand!
What the name of the welding spot.. please 😊😊
It’s the Orion 150s!
This is super cool! I love the idea of trash turning into a craft. How long did it take you to make this one?
Thank you! I built this slowly over a few months, but that was mainly because I was super busy, I think back to back it would’ve been about 3-5 days! (The welding takes a very very long time haha)
@Zak Miskry Sculpture nothing wrong with a long project. Makes the final product feel like a giant accomplishment. I'm going to start saving some money and try to get into welding like this. What your doing is awesome. Keep up the inspirational work 🫡
these short videos are nice but I think you should have some more in depth as well, especially ones where you show your whole creative process/thinking while working on a project
Yeah I think you’re right, maybe for some bigger projects!
@@zakmiskrycreations honestly if you had some really long detailed ones I'd watch them even though I don't do what you do (though I am interested) just because it's so interesting and I love the things you create
@@evelynmilberry7187 thank you Evelyn! I’m really glad you like my work 😊 I’ll definitely work on some longer/more in depth ones!
Came from Instagram and subbed immediately super cool work love these types of videos and I would love to make some stuff like this
Thanks! I’m so glad you like my work! I’m making a more instructional/tutorial style series on my chameleon build at the moment so hopefully that will be helpful!
