This charming recycled metal figurine captures a chiropractor at work on a patient laying flat on a table. Mexican artisan Armando Ramirez designs and welds the figurine from hand-selected scrap metal from a variety of Mexican automotive, industrial and construction waste sites. "The process involves selecting recycled items that can be used," says Ramirez. "I separate and soak them in a cleaning solution to remove any impurities, and solder them together until I achieve my design. Then I give it a protective coat of glossy varnish." Each piece of the sculpture is recycled and unique, with some parts oxidized to providing a rustic charm.

This was a well received gift that was unique and actually very active since it is demonstrating the kinesiology techniques that my doctor uses regularly.

My wife after receiving this piece immediately placed it on your office desk. She was just stunned that this was even achievable, let alone doable. Thank you for such outstanding craftsmanship.

This was a gift for my husband, and he and our little boy had a good time trying to name all the car parts that comprise this precious little sculpture. Very whimsical!
