Gotta keep them womenfolk happy fellas.

admin

Tomorrow is our anniversary. My Girlfriend has a little garden out back of our apartment. Made this for her last week at work as a surprise.  She is happy,happy,happy. I have a buttload of 1/2" 11ga angle for some damn reason. Seemed perfect for this.The small wires and hearts are simply 5/32" 7018 rod with the flux knocked off. I built the trellis for her earlier this year. And the monster hanging basket holder last year. I think the arbor matches nicely.If you cant fix it with a hammer, it must be an electrical problem."Boy, everyone starts with a full bag of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before the bag of luck is empty."-Grandad circa 1990ish

Reply:Now she is talking about me replacing the wood arch with the same thing. I'd rather stick something sharp in my eye than work with wood.Don’t pay any attention to meI’m just a hobbyist!CarlDynasty 300V350-Pro w/pulseSG Spool gun1937 IdealArc-300PowerArc 200ST3 SA-200sVantage 400

Reply:I never thought about using chain. That would make a really cool design. Maybe with like some twisted bar and rod rolled into spider webs. Very gothic.

Reply:Originally Posted by Bistineau My ole lady got her son to make her two trellises after she saw some he made for his wife. She just wanted it to have some roses climb on. But she has mentioned for years about wanting an arbor. So now I have a project turning the trellises into an arbor. Just not knocking myself out doing it. I do have the trellises secured in a vertical position though, so it looks like I am making progress. Made a showing on it anyways.

Reply:That's gonna be nice. SHE could even hang clothes on it.

Reply:Originally Posted by BistineauI doubt ANY real state troopers have a sense of humor. Unless it is some kind of certain trooper humor that only they can appreciate, and the rest of us can't identify with.
