beautiful job, How much time per baluster?

Thanks for all the interest and compliments. These are pictures that I took so they are not so good. One end of the railing is hooked to the Bocci Court wood work and has a clump of cat tails with a lilly pad that is a drink holder. Chuck

Here is a memorial bench I did for Bill Knox in 2012. He loved fishing in Wallowa lake for Kokanee. When we put the bench in place his widow Diane brought some of his ashes in one of the tubes that his favorite cigars came in and had me put some of the ashes in each of the 4 anchor bolt holes in the concrete slab we mounted the bench to.

I agree with you on the pipe post. They were already in place when I got the job. I am building another gate for the same client. Can't remember the hrs, will have to look that up. I found and bought a 34' 1992 Thomas MPV safety liner bus with a 12 valve 5.9 Cummins just for the engine. When I told my wife that I got another bus it sounded like she said " WHAT THE F*** DID YOU DO NOW" I am sure I mis under stood her. It run and drives so nice that I am fixing it up to do a few road trips. The old 53 has a 150 HP engine built by White Motor Co, the same engine was used in halftracks in WW2, some parts are available (for a price). My White is the deluxe model 12 volt, air breaks, the larger 900x 20'' wheels. I know a guy who use to have a White bus the same as mine, he cut the back end open and used it to haul lumber from a saw mill. the round trip was exactly 200 miles, 3 MPG loaded 4 MPG empty $$$$$$$$. The Thomas is getting around 10 MPG. Beth could you send me a picture of your bus? Thanks everyone Chuck t

that looks so much better than my first damascus

The bus is a 1953 White Super Power. It was my fathers, he was going to make a harness shop out of it for when he was out in the woods horse logging. He passed away before he get it done. And now the engine is froze up. I would like to get it running and make a motor home out of it. All I need is time and money Chuck

Yard gate and railing

that is a very interisting vice, hope it serves you well

very nice, really like the bark texture on the frame.

It is designed for wood, we don't have any coal around here. Underneath the grate are 2 - 1" round bars, you can see the ends of them sticking out. They are mig welded to the horizontals and the verticals.
