Vacuum Arachnid No 1
created February 22, 2013

Vacuum Arachnid with recycled watch parts and an old vacuum tube. The body of this arachnid is composed of an old electronic vacuum tube. Copper connectors at the bottom of the tube provide a base to which the legs can be attached.The legs themselves are made with recycled watch strap springs (the type that holds a watch strap or band to the watch itself) along with small watch winding stems.Size is 57mm wide by 57mm deep by 62mm tall.

All creations made by A Mechanical Mind are one of a kind, never to be reproduced exactly. All parts are soldered, never glued.

Each sculpture comes with a 3” wide by 4” tall glass display dome with wooden base. Sculptures are not toys and should be handled sparingly, as their parts are tiny and delicate.

Shipping within the US is $10. Items are shipped by USPS priority mail with delivery confirmation and insurance. All items are shipped with 24 hours (excluding weekends and holidays) and should arrive 2-3 days after shipping.

We do ship internationally, however, we ask that all international customers please contact us before ordering.

Now that's a nice piece! Very original! How did you do the soldering, I mean how did you keep previously soldered parts from falling off?

Thank you! It's a combination of precise temperature control and using thick cardboard as a bit of an armature.
