    About the Ebook



    Martin Horspool is one of the few people lucky enough to be able to visualize personalities, hidden in disused household objects.



    The development of these personalities involves some grinding, drilling and riveting, until a creation is formed, from a pile of rusting parts.



    This book celebrates Martin's quirky style of robot assemblage.

    Martin Horspool's quirky robots are born from pre- loved objects from another era. Every Robot contains original pieces from the 50s and 60s and he finds it important for people to recognise the individual components that make up each one.

Scavenging from numerous sources, he has stock piled a collection of components to make any magpie jealous. His artistic eye sees the potential in everyday objects. A door handle becomes an arm, a kitchen scales becomes a body, a bike lamp becomes a head and the recycling process comes full circle to give new life to discarded objects.
