some of the lil things i've done over the last few years

i dont normally document my work. but i have a few pictures from some projects i under took at my shop with my buddy.
this was a concessions trailer. i dont have the finished pics anymore sorry. we sheeted the sides with aluminum and put a synthetic material roof on it.

smoker grill

this had 4 racks inside on a rotisserie, made from angle and expanded metal. 1/4 hp motor turned it. had an aluminum hot box in the bottom. which eventually got too hot and started to collapse. it was later replaced with steel.

this was a failed attempt at "art" it was supposed to be a speaker holder thing. was going to run some cables from the top to the bottom to mount the speaker pods on and powder coat the whole thing black. but gave up on it. cuz its kinda ugly lol


this is a winch bumper for a ford bronco

Dude, that picture of you with the torch... that's right up there on my list of things not to do, along with "frying bacon in the nude." Maybe I'm just a puss, but I hate getting burned.

Bet you're getting a nice UV tan, too .... Safety, safety, safety .....

Nice array of work you've been doing. Too bad you don't have any completed shots of the concession trailer, would've liked to see that ....Cool truck, too.

What's the "supervisor's" name?

her name is daisy. i'll see on my old phone if i had completed shots. its been re done as far as i know. the dude that we did it for wrecked it. some how. then put an aluminum roof on it too. had to be HEAVY. probably too heavy for the axles under it.

Re: some of the lil things i've done over the last few years

Good choice on the Rockwell Military axles.. Almost impossible to break them babies!!

I have a guy that works for me that always wears shorts... I see him dancing in the shop at least twice a day.. But he's comfortable so thats fine..

Really nice work, a good mix of jobs.
