Metal Phone Booth Make Over - Visitor Center






Whidbey Telecom commissioned me to remodel this booth using Hot and cold rolled steel sheet.

Metal Phone Make Over - Langley City Hall







Whidbey Telecom commissioned me again to clad this little booth in front of Langley's City Hall building.The Logo elements are made from 16 GA stainless steel (as well as the rivets) welded to a 1/2 thick polished steel disc. The Mushroom at the base of the logo is from a 1" dia Langley water tank rod. The other panels are made from Hot and Cold rolled steel sheet.

Metal Garden Art






A brief Highlight of whats happening at City Hall Lately, at least on the outside.

John Alsip mastered the garden art in the front.

I assisted in constructing the Arbors off to the left side of the building.

It was amazing to see how much a hand full of volunteers can accomplish.

Yea!- Kay and Cathy!

The corners are welded and an Orbital "Angel Hair" finish was applied.

Metal Cat Walk Rail Project

B.R.A.D had me down on his site to assist him and his "Tight" Crew with pulling this Cat Walk and Door Jamb together.

The original concept went hay wire once BRAD found the "gnarly" woven wire at a scrap yard, his vision came together seamlessly.

I will post more as progress continues!

Metal Sign Board - "ca' buni"




Some finishing touches for Mukilteo Coffee's new restaurant!
The new sign is made of 1/4", heavily weathered steel plate and is backlit with plexiglass and "Flicker" light bulbs.
The "Swinging Doors" are made from a remnant of Buffy's awesome decorated wood panels left over from the counter project and some rod from Langley's old redwood water tank.

Metal Railing - Useless Bay Coffee



Parts from the old Loading dock railing were used to build this new one.
The "Curly Cue" at the beginning acts as a bumper (Backing up vehicles will hit it first?).

BIZ KID$ 3rd Season!



Biz Kid$ just started their third season and had 3 more set tables built!
