This isn't the first time we've seen art-from-car parts. These functional and recycled pieces come from Chicago artist Scott Sullivan and are available for purchase on Etsy.

Scott makes lamps and other housewares from recycled transmission parts. He also designs and builds hardwood furniture, sometimes incorporating gear elements into his designs.

Scott has the range of functional recycled auto part items for sale which can be viewed at Solderman.com or his Etsy storefront. Not only is he an accomplished welder, but he also an accomplished woodworker, with bookshelves and other furniture for sale.
