The story
Are you tired of being scared all the time?
With so many armed citizens, is carrying a single pistol enough? Why bring a six-gun to a shoot-out when you could bring a six gun six-gun? Take self defense to the next level with the 6×6 Escalator!
Every element was found — scrap yards, second-hand stores, dumpsters — then cleaned, stripped, sorted and rebuilt. Found aluminum is TIG-welded and sanded seamless; nothing is cast. The electronics are salvaged from consumer devices, repaired and rewired so the piece does something when you touch it.
