Reply:it took two of use to get them on the cart from the welding table..... but when the install guy came to pick them up it took 4 of us to get them off the loading dock and on to the truck. I got some odd looks driveing down route 84 in rush hour trafic with that in the back of my truck... got to be kind of fun to see the double takes.Heat it and Beat it!!!http:www.Fallinghammerproductions.com
Reply:Those scissors do look like a fun project. Are they as sharp as they look? They look kind of dangerous. Nice work! Oh yeah, what kind of coating did you use to prevent the scissors from rusting?Lincoln AC/DC 225/125 Stick Linde HDA-300 MillerMatic DVI MIG Miller Dynasty 200DX Hypertherm Powermax 1000

Reply:That looks greatWhat is the significance or symbolism of the scissors?A good guess is better than a bad measurement
Reply:Signifigance is that scissors cut hair.OP said it was for a Salon. I know what you Aussies are like though..... You read the word "Salon" and your natural attraction to partying, drinking, and having a good time distorted the word so you saw what you wanted to see.. "Saloon"    I love those gate posts. They would be great for the idiots that keep knocking mine down in front of the shop.

Reply:we used a  product called permalac it is rated 10 years exteror in salt spray. the only isue I had with it was due to the humidity the day I coated it (a bit of clounding), even so it seems to be protecting the finish well.MPLast edited by mpmetal; 08-02-2008 at 02:06 PM.Reason: re read then post!Heat it and Beat it!!!http:www.Fallinghammerproductions.com
