Tin Man Sculpture

Meet Nick Chopper, “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” Tin Man character’s real name.
Yes before he became a “tin man” he was human and his name was Nick Chopper.
The Tin Man character originated in the book series written by L. Frank Baum in 1900.
L. Frank Baum went on to write a total of 14 books in the OZ series.
My name is Stephen Winter and I am the artist that created this life-sized artistic interpretation of the Tin Man in metal.
The “Tin Man” Nick Chopper is a static metal sculpture statuary and has no moveable parts. He can be displayed either indoors or outdoors in a garden setting. Put him in your favorite place; in person he looks as if he just might start moving,
Nick is 5’ 11” (71 inches) tall, hollow and made out of 1/8” thick polished and welded aluminum. Nick weighs 75 lbs. assembled without the Metal Stand attached. The heavy duty metal stand weighs an additional 17 lbs. The total weight including the stand and ground securing stakes is 96 lbs.
The 1/8” inch thick aluminum is very tough and will not dent easily. Aluminum was chosen over “Tin” or steel because in a wet weather environment he won’t RUST like steel. He will not turn brown or red with rust! Nick will stay silver in color and last a very long time. The “Tin Man” Nick Chopper is a very tough guy! All parts used in sculpting the “Tin Man” are new and were shaped and welded just for this one sculpture; there are no used or old found parts.
The Ax head is not real and is also hollow and made out of the same 1/8” thick aluminum as the rest of the sculpture. This helps keep the weight down. The Ax handle is a real fiberglass handle chosen over a wood handle for longevity.
The buttons “rivets”, elbow, knee and ankle hinge pivot bolts are all steel carriage bolts with a nut welded on from the inside, they should never come off. These items are for “show” only and have nothing to do with the structure of the sculpture.
All mounting studs used for assembling Nick are a high quality hard 3/8” grade 8 and are captured in the assembly. Which means all you have to do is install the washers and nuts and won’t have to hold the bolts with a wrench from the other side, this makes assembly very easy.
I chose to make this wonderful sculpture capable of disassembly for ease of shipping, moving and storing. When assembled he is as firm as if he were entirely welded in one piece.
With only 11 total parts this metal sculpture is very easy to assemble and only uses 13 nuts and 9 bolts. The heaviest part is 28 lbs. Once you are familiar with Nick he can be assembled in less than 15 minutes.
The assembly instructions are included and will tell you everything you need to know in photos and text. Just click here on Tin Man Instructions pdf to view text and photos.
