I like it. Nothing wasted, you know. And you didn't paint it. I hate it when people paint good wood.
Damn, I miss hanging doors some days.
Painting wood is retarded if you live in the semi-arid west. I even refuse to stain decks.
Forgot to mention that it will be getting handrail system of some sort.
Happy Hannukah! (sorry for the X-post, but this could work if you are looking for a great present for your bike-nut Jewish friend who has everything...)
Happy Early Hanukkah!
I whipped up the first proto menorah yesterday. I really like this.
Thought about making it rotate on the base, but after some reflection, kind of thought that might be a fire hazard...

Sweet rink! That's in NH? It's cold enough right now? And that much snow?
The pictures are from last winter. I was the reason that the east coast got pounded with snow last season. I broke ground one year ago today and we were skating by Dec 19th. The ice held up until the first week of April. We used it almost every night. My wife thinks I did it for the kids.
I was looking at these pictures as I was putting up the boards again last weekend and figured I’d post them here, even though I cheated and used a bobcat.
Temps here are still too high but as soon as the forecast calls for 3 – 4 days in the 20’s, I’ll drop in the liner and call the pool water company. The thing takes over 12,000 gallons. The size is 88’ x 34’.
That is awesome. You are a hero.
Pipe this in. I can see the crowds gathering and the fights brewing.
That rink is awesome! Love the fact that it was "for the kids".
Is that some sort of perpetual motion machine? where do you live? those hills look strikingly similar to the ones in my back yard.

Currently have a 10' wee lassie form and a 14' EM White form already built. Only finished one 10' footer so far though. You will absolutely love the sound of the water on the hull. Amazing.
Sneak pic snapshot of my first professional commercial commision piece.
I think it came out pretty tight!
(I hope they order 100!)

Looking at this, all I could think of was the Simpsons episode where Homer tried to build the dog house.Quote:

Thanks!
Looks like I will have time to really dive into the art again in the next few months. Biggest bummer is that I have to cancel my welding classes, which were supposed to start next week....
Hey, if anyone knows any local businesses that might be interested in custom work, please send any contacts my way, I will hook y'all up with art if something works out...
It was fun digging through the archives to see what I've come up with:
Glacier Creek Climbing Compound. 3 story Squatter cabin built back Girdwood Valley around 1998. Still there...

Second house: Ground level tree house, built with spruce as corner posts. You'd get sea sick inside when it was real windy. The whole family lived in it for a month while I finished the next dwelling across the property... And to believe the neighbours were worried about us moving into the neighbourhood. (pregnant sunbathing)

Third house: Built from scratch, nice cedar siding

I built the rod, not the fish.
On this one, I kind of like the way I detailed the reelseat.

Wish I had a good pic of my front porch to share.
