About this item

"When iron meets iron, something legendary is born: this handcrafted figurine captures the sacred gym ritual of the bench press, complete with a dedicated spotter keeping his buddy safe through every grueling rep. Designed by Mexican artisan Pablo Cisneros and brought to life by skilled craftspeople using recycled auto parts, nuts, bolts and metal scraps that once roared down highways have been reborn as a miniature monument to sweat, trust and gains. For the 'gym rat' who takes their training (and their environmental conscience) seriously, this is the conversation starter that belongs front and center on any shelf, desk or weight room office."

Whenever I saw scraps of metal, I would play around with them to see what I could make. That is how I began creating designs from recycled materials. There was an automotive garage nearby, and they'd save scraps for me. Shoppers seemed to like my designs, and so I began to craft more recycled works.

As time went by, I've continued innovating, creating, and evolving until I've formed different collections, such as my vehicle collection. It is comprised of trains, motorcycles, cars, and such, and I really like it.

The process begins with selecting the scraps I want to use. I clean and prepare them, and then my imagination takes off. I weld and solder various parts together, giving form to my ideas. Finally, I coat each finished work in lacquer to protect it.

Today I divide my time between my father's wrought iron decorative work, and my own sculpture collections. Artistically, I dedicate all my work to the people I love most - my family.

Hi, how are you? I'm Edmundo Cisneros. My father, Bibiano Cisneros, has a workshop for artistic wrought iron. From the time I was a boy I began to learn about his work. My dad would take me with him sometimes, and explain how things were done. Eventually, I surpassed my teacher! Not even my father could craft some of the things I did. So we made a great team. He was the number one teacher, and I was the number two, even though I was the youngest in the shop.
