The Scrap Metal Eagle
An incredibly striking and fierce miniature scrap metal sculpture depicts an eagle with its wings spread wide, masterfully constructed from salvaged vintage hardware. A heavy, rusted antique clothes iron—embossed with "THE OLD IRON CO."—serves as the bird's solid torso.
Its magnificent, outstretched wings are ingeniously layered using overlapping segments of rusted circular saw blades, with the sharp teeth perfectly mimicking jagged flight feathers. The detailed head features a sharp, curved metal beak and small nuts and bearings for intense eyes. Perched securely on a weathered wooden post, this upcycled mechanical predator radiates a powerful presence against a blurred concrete backdrop.
