What started as a pig automaton taking a sip of bourbon, this fun self-powered build quickly grew to becoming a coat and bowtie attired pig with much more, including moving head, ears, mouth, eyebrows, both arms, left wrist, both legs, and even his curly tail. 

He also will feature an appreciative whistle after taking a swig of his favorite beverage! His hand, or foot, rather, is adjustable and can hold a fifth of liquor, a smaller flask, bottle of beer or even root beer. 

  The multiple cam and lever system is completely created from scrap metal parts just as the rest of the sculpture, and is driven by a salvaged Chevrolet engine timing gear set, also he features  gear reduction of a 1940's era hand crank bench grinder, and the heart is a conveyor belt motor. The combination has an output of over 140 foot-pounds of torque, which is more than a small car engine!  That's plenty of pig power to motivate all his movements!

  As a finishing touch to the upcoming upgraded tophat, bow tie, and and fine jacket, he will boast real platinum in his clearcoat finish, truly a high class hog!

   Stay tuned for updates and upcoming exhibitions!
