Bridge for ATV

Jim here is the one picture of the only cow that put all four feet on the rock, and that was only because I had a line of range cubes going over the bridge and you could tell she was feeling really uncomfortable and left about half of the range cubes. The others thought they would be smart and sneak around the back and started licking the range cube container. I finally gave up and gave them a pre-Christmas treat.

Don, I'm not sure that I'd be encouraging them to use the bridge. You know how cows are, sooner or later they are going to try to cross three or four at a time and there go the handrails. On second thoughts, that could lead to a remedial project get-to-gether and I might make that one. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Don or Harvey,

I'm planning a project that I'll need to paint and was trying to figure out what the process was and the paint you used on the "Bridge" and the "Gate."

Thanks,
Eddie

Morning Eddie,

It's top secret. If we share the formula then we have to kill you.

But if it wasn't so top secret we'd tell you that it's half Rustoleum Rusty Primer and half Rustoleum Leather Brown mixed and applied in one coat. A second coat can follow without any problems.

Leather Brown is a little glossy and dark and the primer's too red and dull. But the two together comes off just about right. And the good thing is Rustoleum is sold everywhere and you can buy it in quarts and gallons.

Thanks Harvey,

Your secret formula is safe with me, I wont tell a soul.

Eddie, this should have been done by PM 'cos I read it and I'll tell everybody AND I'll blame you. Sorry pal, it's been nice knowing you but we'll think only good thoughts when you're gone. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Eddie, I just had a thought. As I remember it, you had lots of heads mounted on the wall of your shop. Since I don't want to join them I'll keep mum. You're safe .... and so am I. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Maybe we can get a moderator to delete the last five post. We can't let the secret get out. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I was thinking a lot of the makers of "The TBN Bridge" this weekend as I added safety chains to the bridge railing. I attached them to the convenient looped ends on the bridge and then to post I made in welding class last week. I tried to make something simple that would complement Harvey's unique design.
