10 Crafty Scrap Metal Creations From Art Park in Wisconsin

This collection gives a whole new meaning to the term “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”.

Tom Every, the artist, is a retired Salvage and Demolition man who has created some of the world's heaviest free-standing sculptures. His collection gives a whole new meaning to the term “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure”. He uses scrap metal, donated parts and gadgets, and has even incorporated some scrap from the Apollo space rocket in his crown piece.

This mesmerizing art park, called Dr. Evermor's Studio, is located in North Freedom, Wisconsin and is known to be the first of its kind in the world.

Tourists and artists alone are flocking to this incredibly interesting attraction. Although the park is made up of mostly gadgets, every visitor will be able to appreciate the time and creativity that has made these pieces a living work of art.

A spider like piece made up of railroad nails, flattened scrap metal, old construction machinery and other collected materials.



A telescope fashioned with a winding staircase made completely out of scrap and donated gadgets.

The Forevertron stands 40 feet high and weighs 400 tons making it heavier than the world's largest jumbo jet. The sculpture is actually made up of a contamination chamber from the Apollo space rocket. It looks like a time machine from a movie. It absolutely fascinating!


Most of his birds like sculptures are made out of recycled saxophones and trumpets that he has collected over the years in the scrap yard.



Is it me or do these birds look like their straight out of a Science Fiction movie?

I believe this may be a peacock. If you thought being colorful was a way for males to attract his mates than think again. This creation is one of the many bird like pieces Tom Every has created in his park.
