The kids and I are leaving for a little vacation today, going to Disneyworld for 5 days. I should have internet access, because you know I'm addicted to my blogs, flickr, email, Etsy, and various metalworking forums. If I can figure out how to upload photos using my itty bitty travel laptop, I will post some updates while I'm there. If you buy something from my shop, I will ship it out on Friday or Saturday.
For now I leave you with the cattail railing. These photos show my progress over the past week and a half, starting with the railing ingredients and ending with it pretty much ready to go. You can click on the linked photo titles in the description to see any of the photos in detail.
1. Small Railing Ingredients, 2. checking the angle, 3. finding center, 4. setting up for a weld, 5. Did I miscalculate?, 6. setting it up again, 7. coming along now, 8. still in progress, 9. Me grinding, 10. more welding Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
Ideally, this is all you will see of this railing. I am not doing the painting or the installation. I do not have a safe or clean painting set-up. I worked according to the architect's measurements and delivered the piece to the Contractor, ready for painting. They will check the fit, call me for adjustments if necessary, have it painted, and then install it.
and that's that. Next railing starts when I get back, another marshy theme, but with more plants and a bird accent.
