Dave Parker Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Approximately 3 x 2 ft, made from a 5-ton truck spring. The inspiration was a similar cross project made by Trez Cole at one of our FABA meetings a few months back. The “spike” holds it all together and its new home is a church memorial garden. They will add a spotlight and landscaping later. I hope you like it but I could also use constructive criticism. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rthibeau Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I like the spike as a joining method. Is it me or is the cross mount leaning off to the left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Parker Posted March 7, 2010 Author Share Posted March 7, 2010 Good eye Richard, Yes, it leaned a little to the left. I could claim that the sun was setting when I finished mounting it but the real culprit was my mounting bracket. I have to go back and silicon around the base and will shim/straighten it then. I wanted to have it up for today’s service so I left it as is for today and will finish it later this week. Several people pointed out the lean and a few wanted it left that way but mostly the feedback was positive. It was up on time and I learned a valuable lesson-have a spotter on the ground next time. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
