Jimmy Nails – Robo Scraplet

Reclaimed wood robot figure and desk buddy (Scraplet), handmade by me, the Chief Scrapleteer.

Robo Scraplets are sneaky. Like little metallic leeches they attached themselves to the Time Machine and tricked their way to present day, happier with the pace of life it offers. They’ve each undertaken the task of choosing their own names with vigour, immersing their daft little selves in the popular culture of the last thirty years. 

“Jimmy Nails, -312, Newcastle. Jimmy considers himself to be the North-East’s premier Dream Catcher. He’s got all the tools – various sizes nets, a massive collection of jam jars, loads of Aldi bags (he considers the plastic on these to be premium quality) and a box full of ear buds for poking those pesky dreams out of people’s ears. His shed is absolutely packed full of his daft jars of dreams, all carefully labelled by hand, but now he can’t get in there to audit efficiently. He’s considering doing a crowdfunder to get a bigger shed.”
