I'm starting to get my feet back under me at last, after our long journey from Trinidad. I spent some time in the shop and did a little fabricating on various projects. The One Track wheelbarrow bucket is now welded into place along with the heavy duty hydraulic cylinder, leaving only the hood assembly and handlebars to go. It is looking pretty cool!
Angle of interest
The signs of Skallywag Bay are the most varied and fun we've done to date. Collectively, they are among our very best to date. One of the things that is distinctive in our signs is the fact that it is 'pretty' no matter the angle of viewing. This includes he back side. Our signs are interesting and fun to look at no matter how close or far away you might be as well.
Hanging tree
The larger pieces we build in our shop are not fully assembled until they get to their final home. They are simply too big to fit in our workspace. The 18th hole feature at Skallywag Bay is such a feature. It was built in three very large sections, each just small enough to squeeze into a shipping container. These sections were assembled some months ago on site but the shaping of the ground around the tree and the concrete work took some time to complete. This past week when we were in Trinidad we did the final touchups and the photos could at last be taken of the finished tree. In the next couple of weeks the landscaping will be completed, the railings installed and the carpet golfing surface laid in place to truly finish things off. The final touch will be a hanging rope on the far left branch to help tell our story. The tree is the only one like it in the entire world
