I currently work for the town of Elkton in Maryland. I do all the welding and fabricating on the dump trucks and backhoes and whatever else comes along.They had an old gate in Marina Park (a piece of 2x2 sq tubing)that the hinge rusted off of and they wanted me to fix it. I told them they needed a new gate and they said make one.The two pictures with the weird flowers are posts to hold the gate open.

thats great wannabe - like the birds flying away - reckon youre wasted on the dump trucks :)

That is really nice looking.

You sure you are just a wannabe? You might just have to change your screen name after this.

Nice looking gates. That should not only make the boss happy but get you some exposure on the side. Good job. :D

Thanks yall, I was hoping to get a couple of hits CurlyGeorge and may have gotten one but no sure thing yet.

here is a pictures of the blue heron that were cut out of the gate, Its hard to believe the (I Love it) responce I got with something so simple.

Yep. Your screen name don't fit right.

Wannabe.... No way buddy...That is some high class work of art!!!....I love the punched out birds... It reminds me of a work Albert Paley completed for his steel supplier Klein Steel in Rochester, N.Y.
Albert had them cut all these animal shapes out of plates of steel which he used in a portal for a zoo... when klein steel said could he use the left over steel plates in a sculture for their home office.... Check it out, ( look up Albert Paley, klein steel sculpture)all these plates of steel welding in some kind of patern all painted industrial safety yellow. Your by -product is the opposite of his work and your work just looks GRAND... Do you take orders???

Thanks BigCharlie.

WOW!- What was the thickness of the cutouts? I bet they were very pleased with the results. It's always nice when a customer says " OK, go ahead and make a new one..."
