Mulekick Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 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. I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CurlyGeorge Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Nice looking gates. That should not only make the boss happy but get you some exposure on the side. Good job. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigCharlie Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 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??? Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw223 Posted December 26, 2010 Share Posted December 26, 2010 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..." JW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
