From roadsideamerica.com - The
Forevertron "...Tom doesn't use blueprints or drawings, and
has no traditional art schooling. "No sketches, no models, no nothing
— I just go for it." This is pretty amazing, since sculptures like
the Juicer Bug are fifteen tons, and will be hoisted up on spindly
insect legs. "Everything here is free floating. I got these bug toenails
up in the air, but I don't want a toenail falling off on somebody."
He develops his own construction solutions, so far without mishap.
"No engineering firm could compute the compression on these legs.""

From folkart.org - Dr
Evermor's Forevertron "...As a child, the fictive Dr. Evermore
had been trapped in a massive electrical storm with his father, a
Presbyterian minister, who explained to his son that such a force
could come only directly from God. From that day on, the young man
dedicated his life to constructing an extraordinary spacecraft that
would ultimately deliver him from the "phoniness of this world" to
the truth and unity of the next." an article by Jeffrey Hayes
