While out on a recent pic I found this heavy duty diesel pump nozzle. It was used to fill up tractors and agriculture equipment. When I found it it had been discarded into a scrap pile. It was covered in grease and grime and a little bit of rust. Armed with a wire brush, I went to work cleaning all the gunk and rust from the nozzle. I then added some pipe fittings and a wall mounting flange. Then we wired it up with this beautiful shimmering copper colored cloth covered wire. The light socket is an antiqued cast brass digital dimmer, this allows you to get the replica Edison bulb to the perfect warm glow. This lamp would be an awesome addition to any man cave or garage or even a bar.

Welcome to Grease Monkey Inc. My name is Dusty and I am a heavy duty diesel mechanic by day and artist/picker by night! I love to build and repurpose automotive and industrial items. I love the rust, the chippy paint, the history of an item. Where its ben and where its going. I love to take ordinary items transform them to extraordinary pieces of art! From custom, made to order license plate signs and barn starts to automotive inspired coat racks. Embolden steampunk and industrial lamps and furnishings to rustic vintage tailgate benches.
This is Grease Monkey Incorporated!

For Custom License Plate SignsLiked his work so much the fist time that I went back for more! :) Dustin always turns out a stellar piece, and ensures that he makes exactly what you're looking for – down to the type of wood backing and stain. This time, I got a sign as a wedding gift, and they loved it!

For Custom License Plate SignsThis was both my first time working with Dustin and using Custommade.com, and overall I am extremely happy with the experience. The custom license plate piece looks very much like I had envisioned as Dustin was able to meet all of the criteria I set out. Further, he was very easy to work with and I appreciate him finishing the project slightly ahead of schedule. I would certainly recommend him to other prospective customers!

For License Plate Barn StarThe license plate star definitely met my expectations, and then some. Great value/price for what is a custom job. Thanks!

For Custom License Plate Barn StarsThe finished product was beautifully made and exactly what I asked for. My only disappointment was that it shipped too late to get to me in time for my special event, which I'd communicated about when I ordered the piece. It would have been nice to get a "heads up, it's going to be late" instead of UPS telling me. But it did arrive just a few days late, and in the end I love the work.

For Custom License Plate SignsFaaaaaantastic! Everything about this project was perfect. Dustin was super timely, answered all of my questions very clearly, and was creative in coming up with a solution to making this sign work well for what I needed. And, best of all, the finished product is just plain awesome. Great quality, a ton of attention to detail, and came out exactly as I wanted and beyond.
