[Greg Shikhman] wished to utilize the institution tools one much more time before graduation. After hitting up some regional motorcycle shops around town for parts he fashioned this crown for himself.
He didn’t pay ‘the iron price‘ as the motorcycle roller chain is waste material anyway. Chains do wear out as well as these were left over after being replaced with new ones. He very first cleaned them up with a bit of WD-40 solvent, xylene, as well as soapy water to cut with the grime. There was likewise a layer of black oxide which typically keeps them from rusting which he peeled off with a dunk in some hydrochloric acid.
Chains are versatile as well as this would have produced a disheveled looking crown. The repair included utilizing an aluminum type the size of his head to keep the crown in round while he did his TIG welding. A double row of polished steel sphere bearings take the location of jewels. As if the ten-pounder wasn’t agonizing sufficient he added four rings of bicycle chain as accents which he admits makes the thing unwearable since they dig into his noggin. We still don’t believe that’s a great sufficient reason to publish about the job and not include an picture of him using the thing during the junkyard coronation.
It would be fun to see a follow-up king-ring with similar LED features as that interaction sound however utilizing this heavy-metal style style.
