OK, this is just for fun. How many man hours to build?

Looks like about 1200 to me.

4000 to 5000 would be my guess.

I was going to guess 23 years, or were you talking about the metal work?

Welding cost?


Too much money and 95 cents....

I'll bet that is in Russia. Those are nice shoes, but I think they are riveted, not welded.

No! His wife found that picture of the gate on the Internet.

No, is that his girlfriend or just an innocent bystander...??

It's stainless and like most artwork, is probably Tigged so, I'd estimate it'a a labor of love and untold hours.

I see the arch over the entrance doot is of the same motif...

Don't forget the rate per hour:D

75.5 hours x $120 = $9,060 .

The girl is wondering how to get to the other side.

It wouldn't surprise me if the materials alone were $9,060

Yes and if you can TIG all of that together in 75.5 hours you are a better Tigger than me.:)
