Kevin Olson Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Encountered this screen at the Keeter Center at the College of the Ozarks in Branson Missouri. The frame has alot of welding beads that are ground down a little to make the outside pattern. There's texturing on all the square tubes. The leaves look lazer cut. Its very cool. The size is what got my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommytaptap Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 WOW! Now THAT IS a fireplace! Maybe a JCB to put the logs on? And-we're gonna need bigger tongs! Thanks for posting Kevin. I wonder how many hours went into the making of that superb screen? It looks like it is a working fireplace-the chimney must be a massive stack too.

Daswulf Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 That is both huge and beautiful. Wow, Thanks for sharing Kevin. Looks like the inside is probably bigger then my kitchen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Now THAT'S a man cave fire place! Comfy looking overstuffed chair out front must be more of them around the coffee table you can glimpse. Are there floor lamps so a person can enjoy a book by the fire without messing up the ambience with room lighting? The "tree(?)" on the hearth next to the fireplace is that a sculpture, living plant of just a way to store marshmallow and hot dog toasting sticks. Maybe it's another iron sculpture? That is my kind of place to kick back and relax with or without friends on a cold winter day. Thanks for the pics Kevin. Frosty The Lucky.

John in Oly, WA Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Nice fireplace screen. And an interesting way to stack the firewood next to the fireplace. I usually cut it shorter and stack it horizontally, myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 My father always called dead trees out in the far reaches of the property "vertical storage of firewood". It did keep them up off the ground and so decaying slower until I could cut them up by hand and back pack them to the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irondragon Forge ClayWorks Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 We have been to the Ketter Center many times. It's my understanding all of the work is provided by the student's. The College of the Ozarks teaches craft's and the student's work their way through for the tuition. They provide some culinary delights all made by students. https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en&pb=!1s0x87cf0322642c136d%3A0xeab062f178b9c73f!2m19!2m2!1i80!2i80!3m1!2i20!16m13!1b1!2m2!1m1!1e1!2m2!1m1!1e3!2m2!1m1!1e5!2m2!1m1!1e4!3m1!7e115!4shttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.iceportal.com%2Fbrochures%2Fice%2Fbrochure.aspx%3Fdid%3D2813%26brochureid%3D28044%26type%3Dpic!5skeeter center college of the ozarks - Google Search&imagekey=!1e1!2shttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.cfmedia.vfmleonardo.com%2FimageRepo%2F2%2F0%2F47%2F300%2F177%2FLobby_Photo_1_Email_S.jpg&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwixyPTk6vfTAhXoFJoKHWiUAMoQoioInAEwCg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe gas powered. I could not tell. The lighting was very dark plus the screen was hard to see through. You can see the fake smoke stains on the front though. It looks really looks real. As for the tree Frosty. Its not living but might have been at one time. I really didnt study it at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
