This sculpture is made of 2 lock base sockets and washers with champion spark plug as player. It measure 6" x 4" x 4"

Dick Cooley (Sparkplugguy) is from West Bend, Wisconsin

"Each sculpture is created using what most people call "junk". I find most of the materials that inspire me at recycling centers, salvage yards, thrift stores, and garage sales. Several local automobile, motor cycle and small engine shops also save used spark plugs for me.

My sculptures are often crafted from materials used in everyday life, such as: Old irons, Roller skates, Toasters, Bullet casings, Hammer heads, Kitchen utensils, Hardware items & more I often dismantle the items and use those parts in several different sculptures. I look at the items and find that they can be used to reflect life in a whimsical way. If you look closely at the sculptures, you will recognize many of the parts."
