The Hoopy Wooden Bicycle (or just the Hoopy) is a Woodenwidget design which could not exist without WEST SYSTEM® Epoxy. There is not a fastener in it. The Hoopy had been an idea of mine for a very long time. The original idea was to make the frame using hoops of steamed wood, riveted together with copper boat nails. It would require great skill to build, but the end result would be spectacular.
The previous owners of our home left behind a severely weathered stone bird bath. We decided to fix it up and turn it into a gnome garden!
Besides boat repairs, there’s another application where WEST SYSTEM excels—the field of art. Over the years, I’ve learned how to build sculptures out of steel, Styrofoam, fiberglass, and epoxy…I made a pants planter from a sacrificial pair of old jeans.
I used WEST SYSTEM® products to craft an aluminum-filled epoxy pattern with improved heat transfer for making clear PETG chocolate molds. The process is very approachable and is something you may be able to utilize, too.
