Loading this frame that I made over the weekend ended up being a family event 6 foot by 8 foot, with 2" black pipe. Welding was the easy part, a pipe-fitter I am not.

I have owed this pet memorial to a very, very patient customer for far too long. I like the idea that when installed the tip of the heart will be just above the ground, almost as if the heart is growing out of the ground. Fitting that the largest heart I have ever made is for a dog ❤ 🐕

Haven't made one of these in a long time, so I had to figure it out again. One thing I remembered was they were a lot of work....I remember correctly.

- UPDATE - Incase any of you who follow the shops FB page were wondering, the shop isn't quite dead. I have one order I have owed one of my best customers for awhile (haven't forgotten about you), but after that there is nothing on the books. The cost of steel is up even more than lumber, at a 245% increase last I looked. That makes the price for most projects pretty unattractive. Then there is the weather. I have to admit that putting on the needed layers to work in the shop safely when it is hot out is not something I look forward to, so motivation has been lacking. Family life has been busy as well.

Going forward things are going to be a bit difficult for the shop. Facebook has changed how they are running Marketplace, which was where I sold the majority of my items. The changes are enough to make it so I no longer want to use market place at all, and I am not sure where that will leave me for new customers and sales in the future.

So the shop is still here, and I will be happy to take orders if people are willing to stomach the crazy material prices. Hope everyone who follows the page is doing well.

Thank you,

Tim, LRW

It isn't creative or artistic work, but there are times having someone just give to a drawing and tell you "build this" is nice. 5 very heavy duty counter top support brackets.

I haven't made any name signs in awhile. Pretty happy with how this one turned out.

2nd one of these I have made recently; one more already on order. Up until this morning the weekends have been way too cold to want to be out in the shop.

Another weekend, another project.

These are actually 5 hearts that just happened to end up arranged close to this way on my welding table. Got me thinking it might be cool to make a flower like this, AND that Valentines Day will be here before we know it.

With the holidays getting close the shop is getting very busy. I do have one set of re-bar reindeer available now. $15 each, or set of 4 for $50. They are just under 9 inches tall on average. If you need something for the holidays, please let me know in the next week.
