Reply:Mario,You should mount that guardian with hinges at his heels.  The other hook should be a quick release.  Then if someone tries to break in that door, you just pull the release and he swings down and slices the guy in half.

Reply:You better start raising your prices. You are above the rest and your work shows it. That doc should have a FREE heart replacement for you if required. It looks like he is right at home. I'm lost for words, I guess it is just another '' TYPICAL '' MARIO MASTER PIECE !!!!!!!!!!!

Reply:Originally Posted by DSWProbably due to that pesky print they put up there that says "not a step"... Again you do fantastic work. I know guys who would pay big money just to have a suit of "armor" that nice standing  in their hallway. You not only have an eye for putting various pieces of found scrap together, you obviously have a knack for working with sheet metal as well. Getting all those pieces of the armor to fit and match up that nice takes quite a bit of skill and is well beyond the "average" guy.I'm glad to see you are doing well and getting lots of commissions.
Reply:the top of the ladder is not for standing!
Reply:Amazing, Gorgeous, and one of a kind. I'm sure someone has asked in the past, but what is your process for the prep and finish. I know you buy bulk, do you clean all pieces prior to assembly? Do you apply a finish to the hard to reach pieces prior to welding? Great job and trully inspiring.
