starting the build!

The first few welds are done...10,000 more to go!

A few more welds are done - yeah!

Here is the main body put together. I originally wanted more curvy lines here, but I figured most of the frame will be completely hidden, so it probably wasn't a good use of time :)


It's me and my crab! (wait a minute...something doesn't sound right about that!)



Here's the crab body up in the air...just waiting on legs. I guess if I didn't spend half the day trying to figure out a way to keep him suspended, those legs might be a little closer to being done! But I do often have to invent some crude, yet effective means for holding things in place. So far, nothing has come crashing down on me...although, if you notice my updates suddenly stop, there's probably a good chance my luck has finally ended.
