Second shift work.

admin

Here's the big Christmas present project for this year. A bench to go at my in-laws sitting spot down by the creek.The bench itself is some 1/4" x 1-1/4" bar bent "the hard way" to an ergonomic curve for the ends which set the profile. The "slats" are 1" x 1" x 14g tube except the back top "slat" which is 2" x 1" x 14g rectangle tube. The arm rests are 1" tube with cup holders made from 4" x .120" wall od tube. The legs and support frame are also 1" tube.The writing on the top "slat" is welded on with the settings a little cold so the bead profile is tall for good contrast. It says, "Rest and be Thankful"Brian LeonardAppalachian Ironworks L.L.C.434 Long Branch Rd, Marshall, NC 28753828 649 9966828 702 [email protected]
Reply:I really like the design, but I think the "Rest and be thankful", takes a lot away from it.

Reply:Hey Brian,Nice project.....especially since it is a gift that has been personalized. Those words take NOTHING away from the bench, quite the contrary. You posted a nice layout set of pics & it looks to be a great project for anyone.I would surmise that member "etc." would also like all the Christmas/Birthday/Special Occasion/Holiday cards to be "wordless" so that the words couldn't: "take a lot from it"..........DennyComplete Welding/Machine/Fab.

Reply:That's about the nicest-looking bench I've seen in a long time.  The invitation to rest and be thankful is straight from your heart, I can tell.  Well done.Contrary to popular opinion, I do NOT have a pet turkey that craps molten steel.  It's a goose.

Reply:Originally Posted by app-ironworksllc"The hard way" really just means bending it edge ways instead of flat ways. I did it on the Hossfeld #2. ( http://www.hossfeldbender.com/toolin...gle-iron.php#6 ) It seems like I read the phrase "the hard way" in one of their catalogs and always liked the sound of it.
Reply:Brian, as always your work is tops!  Thanks for posting.  Very graceful form.  Bob
