Portrait

Here is a photo of me that I found from a 'Service day' project my work team participated in in 2018.  We are mostly IT folks, but I was allowed on the 'Red Team' (The power tools users) since I have handyman experience.  Someone took this photo of me with my back towards them, near the end of the day, while I was helping one of our guys put together a play structure.

We had worked most of the day, so my hands are dirty, everything is grubby and we were all tired.  I was totally in my comfort Zen zone at that point. I really like this photo because of that.

Working on some Christmas Trees

A couple of request jobs...
Check out the cool stool - used MC pillion seat on a swivel
I drew a grid on the welding table to line up the project.  I do that to help with alignment.  If  you look at the table, you can see the 'golden spiral' I used on the previous weld up.

Tree 1 - Steel Horse shoes (used)
'small' horseshoes tree - After ornaments added

Welding project layout

Laying out the next welding project :


UPDATE - FEB 2020  - Completed Project:

Walnut base, glass orb and welded sculpture, ready to hang.  (Custom bracket included)


I created a custom hanger - once bracket is mounted to wall, art can be rehung any direction without removing the bracket from the wall.  Simply lift off the art piece, rotate and rehang.
