A forest of poles

The light poles for WhistlePunk Hollow golf are now welded up and ready for the installation of the cross bars. With all the lights it looks like a silver forest in the shop.The boys did a great job fitting, welding and grinding up the many seams!

Next wek we'll weld on the cross bars and light conduits, making the light posts ready for delivery and installation. At the worksite they poured many of the walkways. The golf is quickly coming together!

Instant wood

The details matter a great deal in every project we do. For the WhistlePunk Adventure Golf we are also busy working on the many signs that will be placed around the golf. All will be dimensional of course and themed  to fit into their surroundings perfectly.

We are using modern materials so the signs last a long, long time and look good that entire time. Although the signs will look like they are made from weathered wood they are actually carved from Precision Board, high density urethane and machined on a high tech MultiCam CNC router.

The hole number markers are now glued up and ready for finishing.

The rule signs were routed yesterday. The computerized router ran all night as I slept soundly.

This morning the signs were cut and ready to laminate the fronts and backs.

The next task is to hand carve woodgrain into all the edges. Then it is off to the paint department for the magic to make them look like real wood. Stay tuned for pictures of that progress.

Let there be lights

With the major pieces now all on site it is time to turn our attention to the other things in our shop. We are fabricating twenty light posts that will be positioned around the golf. Although they are relatively simple to look at there are many bits and pieces and tons of welding and grinding to put them together. The two Matts are doing a great job!

Early next week they will be ready to deliver and stand up on site.
