Well… my father had a load of junk metal that needed to be sorted before he squashed it and took it to the junkyard.  I looked through all the the heap and pulled out the usable metal.  I found several interesting things that I knew could be used, but did not know how.  There is this red rack sort of contraption with arms that looked like a praying mantis.  Now…. I thought I knew what a praying mantis looked like.  The more  I thought about it… I am not sure… thank the lord for Google!  I hope to have my mantis form welded by weeks end… maybe painted next week.  Who knows?
