October 17, 2012 - Angler Fish

CaliforniaMama · 10-17-2012, 09:53 AM

In honor of the 3D version of Finding Nemo that was recently in theaters in the states, I bring you this Deep Sea Angler Fish:

Our lighted friend is made of recycled materials from a bicycle, scoop shovel, knives, and more. He's a fairly big 5' tall x 4' wide x 5' long.

The dangling light is always on and when you get near our guy his motion-detecting eyes and body light up. Pretty cool.

Discovered in Don't Panic and listed for sale at Etsy for a mere $8k.

What a great front porch light.

Needs more cow bell. Wait. It HAS a cow bell.

Really cool. I'd like it.

The above two posts were both hilarious and informational.

The motion sensor should trigger the jaw to snap shut.

If this is how you're thinking, and I like how you're thinking, *I* think the "off switch" should be prominently visible in the back of mouth. Off, get it?

On a different note, I love this piece of art. Stuff like this makes me wish I had welding skills/tools. To the welders in the room, what kind of equipment is needed for this kind of work? I am interested, but still at the information gathering stage. Is it small-ish? gas or electric? Harbor Freight or pawnshop or craigslist?

You can use any junker "buzz box" for something like that. You just need to practice a bit first. You could use gas or electric. Electric is probably cheaper to get into because you don't need gas bottles.
