Rotary Art I've been tinkering with
 

Hey all. In between builds coming through the shop I've been tinkering with making cool conversation pieces more so to help me explain to people how the engine actually works. I make them out of trashed 13b and 12a engines that have flow through here constantly. I might start selling them. Maybe code match housings to Generation specific paint with whatever accent color for the rotor the consumer wants. Thoughts ?

Thats cool.
Add a clock(s).

needs more creative

hmm ill do searching for clocks the same diameter of an eccentric shaft.

and i dont want to add too much. keep it simple and nice. suggestions are nice tho.

i was gonna say add a cut section of the E-shaft. heck you could put a clock in there too. For my display come show season is a 12a detonated rotor hanging from rear bumper ;) lol

hahaha ! awesome !

Make it into a fish tank.

that is an awesome idea. ill have to come up with a design

:icon_tup: Looks nice... Very few people i know have any knowledge of rotaries. Gettin' em, thinking a bit never hurt!

here is one im going to make

You mean like this one? Personally I prefer the raw metal colors
Couple of years ago I made a dozen or so of these for friends. These I painted the exterior surfaces various colors.

I've also made a couple trophies for local club meets.

I really like that. I guess the only thing I wanted to go with mine is the badges. Simply because of how unknown our cars and engines are to most people. I'm young (24). My house is nice but I still utilize ALOT of neon beer signs and tin signs. In other words.. bachelor pad. So Im going to fab up small discrete brackets to hold a light of some sort to spot light the housings. In between my 3 different builds ofcourse LOL.

Id like to see a small regular white light spotted on the raw metal setup you have. That would a pretty sweet conversation piece.

Absolutely WICKED !!!!!

LOVE THIS !

Here is a quick idea of what I'm talking about. Ive fabbed 5 brackets so far which I will post pics of soo.

Keep up the good work Dave! And yes, the fish tank is pretty rad.

I just thought of this... maybe i cant see the picture well but where is the opening for air and too feed them ?

My idea that I see is the water level is down a bit so you can cut off the top of the plexi on the back piece so you can fit a net and feed the fish

Something that I also wanna make.

That's properly cool, that is. I was gonna ask what sort of rotor that was, those bathtubs are massively wide but flat, nothing like any Mazda ones I've seen... but it answers it's own question; it's a Norton motorbike one, isn't it? Clock is great though, reckon it might be tricky getting much sleep if that was your bedside clock :lol:

Thats pretty crazy.
