Fun at work

I started out with a piece of three quarter by three quarter bar stock. I heated it and hammered it until that little lizard started coming out.

These are the horseshoes that are going to be in the address thingy. It was a three legged horse and it took me three days to pull these puppies off of it. If it had four legs I'd still be trying.

That's my foot just for perspective.

This is the Colorado boulder that's gonna get the sword.

You have to wonder just what's with some folks. I told my bud his rock was gonna get a sword and he thought it was just short of super kewl and neater'n a pin.

My wife gave me a look like I was bragging about stepping in dog doo. I'm not sure if it's a man woman thing or if it's the old opposites attract kind of deal???????????

Here's what four days of work will get you. Seven hundred plus pounds of rock and steel. And all just because she told me she wanted something unique with her street number on it.

We finish it up and install it tomorrow.

BTW I finally got the excuse to learn how to use a chisel to put digits in rocks. Gawd, I love it. Not good at it, but I love it.

Another view.

Tell me just who is the luckiest guy you know? I mean to blacksmith, weld, play with rocks, and get paid for all of it...../w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif.

Harv -

Is this a bad time to tell you that her address is actually 17? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Pretty impressive and creative. Looks a little precarious in the picts, but then you're not in California like I am. The ground probably stays in one place where you are.

A little gorilla glue and everything pinned. It's stable.

Here's a picture of Iris getting ready to load'm up for a delivery, aka forking around with the boss./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Here she is ready to be bound down for truckin'.

This is one trick hitch. I saw it. I bought it. I installed it. I love it. (The pintle hitch above is for the real trailer)

This is the rocks, shoes, and lizards at their new home. The customer liked it plenty fine it seems. They wanted unique. I do think there's not another on this side of town like it.
