Dragon

Something I've been working on.
My wife was going to throw out and old cookie sheet. She was going to throw it out because it wasn't in useable condition (it had collected some rust) I thought maybe I could use it. I rescued it from the trash and used my plasma cutter to cut the dragon out it it. I thought I might make a fireplace screen out of it.
I've never plasma cut such thin metal, it was a challenge. The Dragon needs a clean up and then I will have to work out how to add it to a fireplace screen.
I will post more when it's complete

Skeleton Hand with Lantern

A skeleton hand holding a lantern.
I created this for Halloween.
On Halloween night (2017) I bolted the assembly to an archway that stands over the sidewalk that leads to my front door and put a candle in it. 

Arch and Gate

I completed this project some time ago but have never posted any photos of it.
I created the arch, gate, and fence as not only decorative but for security. The arch is solid steel and is sunk more than 18 inches into the ground on four points and cemented in. This is A very rigid structure.
The arch has a lattice over the top and, eventually, will have a grape vine growing over the top of it.

BBQ Grill Top

Created a BBQ Grill from scratch for use on a large barbeque I'm building.
The grill is almost 36 across.
The grill needs a good cleaning but since I have to do it outside I'm going to wait for better weather to sandblast it.
