Finish ! It remains to deliver to the customer.

Winter is not going to leave.  The fifth day it snows.

I'm moving on to the final.

And getting ready for summer.

Does Russia have the custom of taking off shoes before you enter the main part of the home like they do in Scandinavia?

Thank George !

This is the customer's house. Big estate. I have been working there for several years. It is customary for us to leave shoes right at the door, indoors.

There are 4 days off in Russia, but I'm back at work. New job. Forged lanterns in the guest house. A couple of years ago I was doing street lighting in the main house.

Moved the shoe rack to its place.

A week ago, the snow in the city almost all melted.  But winter came again, it snowed, the frost was below 20С.

The rack is gorgeous wow. Very nice work. 

Thanks!

These shelves are very popular with customers.  Made over 50 pieces.

A little bit of petty.  Lanterns and shoe rack.

I connected the chip blower in the carpentry, at the same time I made a big tidy. I was surprised how much free space there was.

 Looks like you also got a few years out of the last one.  How old is the old one? 

HI !

I don't remember exactly, but more than 10 years.

Installed the grids. Historic city center. The house is being renovated, the photos are not very good. I walked to the next street, about 300 meters. 15 years ago, I installed a canopy over the entrance to the Union of Artists. Needs a little painting, but overall like new.

Made a new stand  for the anvil.  The old deck is completely rotten.

Спасибо Les L! 

At the end of the year I installed a chandelier, today a decorative grille. To be continued...

Carlos Santana is my favorite guitarist.  A fan of his work since 1977. And a young talent.  Super!!!

but looking forward to seeing the results. 

I will definitely show you.

This is my first curved staircase. Made in 1996. The sculptures are not mine.

I'm starting a new job. Stair railing. The wishes of the customer, what would be a fishing net and a sword. Broke my whole head. There is another staircase on the way. And I continue to make a set of chairs.

Finished another job. Order in the hallway to the bath.

Is the little bit of fluff a coat rack for hats and coats?

YES!!! 

Made a small order for the local basketball club. And a little bit of fluff. (мелочевка)

I thought that delivery was delayed for Covid or geo-political reasons Alex. If you air freighted them, they came over the pole and probably stopped in Anchorage to refuel on the way to Seattle, about a 4 hour truck ride from Kenai. Not that anybody air freights direct from Europe to Alaska except in extreme cases but it's kind of fun to think those beautiful chandeliers sat on the ground here for an hour or so on their way south only to be shipped by truck back up.

Jer !

Of the cargo airlines flying from Russia, only DHL remained. But they have a very high cost of transportation and many restrictions. Previously, they flew through Europe, now, due to sanctions, through Dubai. These chandeliers are sent on a regular passenger plane. Wide-body liners have large cargo compartments, and they are transported there.

I hope the new owner sends a few pics of your chandeliers installed Alex. It'd be really cool if they were going in  public building so Deb and I could take a direct look, Kenai is nice RV country and we have next summer.

Thanks guys for your ratings.

Jer !   In March last year, I already sent him the first 2 chandeliers, but he still hasn't sent a photo. Maybe not installed yet. Surprised by the speed of delivery. The shipment arrived in Seattle yesterday afternoon. Only 4 days from the moment I brought the chandeliers to St. Petersburg airport.

Finally sent 2 chandeliers to Kenai in Alaska.

are those wrapped round bars holding up the shelf supports, or were they welded first??

Yes, I welded it first.

New job.
