Patio Garden Screen

Again it starts with a drawing and a concept piece.

Laid out and built on the floor. Approved by Jeff (R.I.P.)

Here it is after welding and grinding. The costumer wanted to paint this himself.

Ok, I’m back again.

I’ve been working in the studio but haven’t been blogging about it. So here’s a short recap of the year with a promise to do more in the future.

These are the vertical pieces of a five part trellis.

These horizontal elements go between and above the vertical trellis and were installed beside the client’s house.

Close up detail before painting.

Children’s Garden Gate Final

This is where the gate was painted. The parts moved from the paint booth to the oven on a overhead conveyer.

I assembled all the painted parts together to make sure it worked correctly. The “H” shaped metal below the gate will be buried in the ground to hold the gate up.

I used a post hole digger to make the holes for the gate posts.

The gate had to be held steady while the wet concrete dried. My supervisor came by to make sure I had done my work correctly.

On September 23 2011 there was a dedication for the garden. The students of Lincoln Elementary read poems they had written and sang songs.



Everyone took home a plant to grow and I took home their appreciation for a wonderful garden gate. Thanks everyone!
