Yard art - planter

I love these quick projects when they come out right. About 30 min. and $3 worth of scraps.
The wife likes it, and I guess that's all that matters

The rings are scrap automotive seal installers/protectors that were destined for the trash pile. The rears are about 4" and the front is about 8".
Originally I was going to make one of those "old fashioned" bikes with the big front wheel, but then I found all those rings. Got a couple left, I'm thinking a little wheel barrel for 1 of them.
Hope those OCC guys give me credit if they use my design

Very creative! I was going to ask about the wheels, but you've covered that too!

Thumbs up

Your flow and proportions are VERY GOOD. You must have art ability and a good eye. To often one comes up with a good idea for something like this, but the FLOW and PROPORTIONS are just not right. I give you a A++ What else have you made?

Demonstrates how being able to BEND is as important as anything else. Great curves!

Thanks for the kinds words, but I had help...

my 10 year old was "cooling" and "holding".
I posted these tables the other day. I have some pictures of another one also. I'll try to post those later.
I still have a couple of rings left, so I guess a little wheel barrel is in my future.
